Cynicism...

Today the CIO of JLL is coming to visit us today! How exciting! "Welcome to our company! You're fired!" lol.

I've been trying to determine the proper music to set the tone...started off with Zombie Girl, but that didn't quite capture the mood. Currently, I'm listening to the new Blue Stone, which is a bit more soothing, but doesn't have that slight edge of tension or the overtone of cynicism that is needed. Am I obsessing about this too much?

Last night was a huge success in a very small way-We walked the dogs, ate three veggies for dinner and then I proceeded to not sleep! Two out of three isn't bad...

So Jerry and I were discussing the downturn in the economy the other night-it seems like the bad news just keeps coming...corn skyrocketing due to the flooding which will, in turn, jack up dairy, beef and chicken, the cost of iron ore doubling overnight...I know it's a bit paranoid, but I keep thinking how much nicer it would be to live in the country where we could have a bigger garden...and wider fields of fire.

I need to get out of my cynical train of thought as well. I'm going to go to the community garden tonight and bask in nature. Silly, but it actually helps.

Brief good things list: At the very least, I have almost four months worth of income and severance. I have a wonderful cast of people in my life that I love and love me. Staubach has been a wonderful experiences and will lead to better things. I get to go to the mountains soon.
