This made me giggle...

Lesson Learned

Have you ever had someone ask to borrow something from you, and after you trusted them with it, they didn't give it back?

For whatever reason, I let someone who I thought was a "friend" borrow my camera. True, he hadn't really done a lot to create a substantial "friendship", so I should have known better...but I let him borrow it anyway. I fully trusted that he would return it, just as he said he would.

He didn't. And, I take full responsibility for my part.

I panicked. I threatened him. I panicked again. I bugged him. I tried to set up a meeting to get it back. I bugged him some more. And, then he left town. For good. I felt very, very sad and very, very stupid for having let him borrow it in the first place. I got very, very angry. And, then I decided it's just a thing. It's not life or death. It's just a thing. But, I worked hard for that thing. And, it was mine.

I have no idea whether he lost it, broke it, if it was stolen from him, or if he's a thief.

It doesn't really matter, at this point. I have to get another camera. But, I want to get over it for good. I thought I'd better talk about it, so I can take that extra step of forgiving and forgetting.

You Want Balls, You Say?

B arely awake this week, due to a certain computer game (Goober's Lab) from here keeping me up too late. Along with the addictive challenge of computer games, is the lovely entertainment provided by my pal, Sugabear over at KZON 101.5 JamZ.


A lternating moods lately, varying daily. Possibly even hourly. Seems to have improved with most recent regular exercise again. Shhhhhhh....don't tell Tracy, or she'll STOP!


L oony. Yes, I'm loony. Why? As a matter of fact, I do speak in the third person frequently. Just ask Brian.


L aughing at myself. Yes, I crack myself up. And, at least I can laugh at myself. I know Wecker can. Can you?


S ecretly wishing I was participating in the activities from item #B (see above)...right now, and forever. Thankyouverymuch.

Drowning?

I'm having some trouble right now. There's a lot that is wrong, but there's a lot that is right at the very same time.

The best part is that I can see good things coming my way. Interesting that I could feel so down and nearly crushed when I'm so close to the surface. At any rate, I'm running out of oxygen quickly.

As a brilliant young lady puts it, "All is well. All will be well."

Freedom and Power

It's been awhile, but tonight I stepped back onto my treadmill. And, I felt like running (well, really it's a jog for me)...so I did! And, it felt so delicious.

Not only was it delicious FREEDOM, but it was delicious POWER!

I've been down for a few days. It still amazes me...the power of endorphins. Bitter-but-oh-so-sweet endorphins.
