Today was payday. Lowest check I remember seeing with this company. Holidays and slow work. Meanwhile, utility bills were really high.
Oh, well. Still better off now than a year ago. Mortgage is up to date and so are nearly all other bills. I think the garbage may be a little late but that's billed quarterly, I think. Nothing going to get shut off and not cutting back on groceries. And I'll still be able to go to the new doc, which is out of pocket.
On that, this will be initial consultation and submitting application to the state board for a medical cannabis license. Not sure how long it will take to receive a response. Not going to stress over it. That would be stupid and defeating the purpose.
Went to karaoke tonight. Had fun. The group is growing larger. There were 6 of us at our table tonight. Only 4 of us sang and nearly everyone has about the same schedule as I do to leave. I had figured I would be the first out the door nearly every time, since I have to pick daughter up.
Still awake right now because I ate something and waiting for Melatonin to kick in.
Got nothing done last night. I was too sore. Happily, it faded away quickly and I barely felt it today. So I do still recover quickly. Still get sore on the same time scale as always. That gives me a good baseline for getting back in shape. Besides, kind of right in line with what has become a regular weekly schedule of Thur nights as a night off from anything productive.
Before karaoke, I did cut the sheet rock patches for the bedroom ceiling tonight. Not in place yet. The center hole is too large for the screws, so I filled the holes with plaster. Let them dry and then put them in place, maybe Sun night.
I quit following a group I had been following online for a while. The American Humanist Association (AHA). I believe strongly in Humanism. Google defines Humanism as " an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems." However, the AHA defines themselves as a strictly atheist/agnostic organization. Beyonce recently called herself a Humanist, while she is well known as a Christian. By definition, you can be both. However, many of the responses were offensive, some downright hateful. I refuse to associate with a group that becomes bigoted on the basis of their religious views. Including atheism. That makes them no better than any other belief system in their approach. Just another armed camp raising their flag, ready to attack anyone different from themselves. Part of the problem instead of the solution. I said openly that they need to change their name to more accurately reflect their true nature. I won't have any part of any group which excludes or attacks members of other groups based on religious views.
I guess the way my mind works really is far more complex than most. Over the years, I have more closely observed human behavior and realized just how differently my brain functions. It's actually rather depressing, seeing how much people make the conscious choice to limit themselves and attempt to impose limits on others. How they need their small encampments. How many people are ruled by fear of "them" and have to have an "us" to belong to as a defense.
Which leaves those of us who reject that concept much lonelier.
