My only consolation is pain pills, some really good ones. Plus I got my nails done. New color is by OPI - called "Color to diner for". It is a sparkly red.
Full planets, empty plates : the new geopolitics of food scarcity (book), by Lester R. Brown. Given to me by his brother-in-law, it is a nice thin book, detailing many of his thoughts which I have heard before. How the balance of the planet is off, how eating up the food chain contributes to food scarcity, how the increasing population numbers put a strain on our food resources, how political unrest contributes to food insecurity, how water shortages make it difficult to grow crops in the places where the food is needed. Food is the new oil, land is the new gold. One of our best environmental theorists comes from our area.
OK, so it is ONLY December 1st. But I have missed Black Friday, Small business Saturday, Cyber Monday AND Giving Tuesday. The fact of the matter is, I am totally uninspired as far as Christmas gifts go. On my list of things to do today was to make my Christmas list, both what I want, and all the names of all the people I should/want to get gifts for. Shopping isn't much fun for me. Deciding isn't much fun for me.

A very self-indulgent day
Had a manicure AND a pedicure AND a chiropractic adjustment AND an hour massage all in one day. Plus, eating out all day, which is very self-indulgent and not so healthy.
Now I don't feel like going to the training I was going to go to tonight. But, I guess I should since it is only one hour. Training to work with the homeless this winter for the CODE BLUE program. Sheltering the homeless only when it is really cold or really wet. I SHOULD get involved, but do I really WANT to?
I work at a public library (book) : a collection of crazy stories - - from the stacks - - ., by Gina Sheridan. First, let me say that I should have written this book. It is filled with some of the outrageous, stupid, unbelievable, annoying, surprising things that can happen while working with the public. Nothing I really highlighted but some laugh out loud moments, for sure.
Feed (audiobook), by M. T. Anderson. Quite clever book for teenagers making me reevaluate my dislike of science fiction. Fast forward to the future, to the post-print society, when all information is beamed directly into your brain by "the feed", including peppy music and advertizements all geared to your interests. You can shop online, chat with your friends, watch TV, get high and so on. Titus meets a more serious girl on a trip to the moon (which is on the way to becoming the 51st state). Her old fashioned attitudes ruin his good time and make him think.

I want you to be my sex slave
These were the lyrics that caused me to turn the dial on the radio in the car. Power 99 out of Philly played this song. Too much. Reminds me of the time I met a guy on a cruise ship. It was a cruise ship where we only spoke Spanish or Portuguese. I met a guy in the club who whispered to me, "Quiero ser tu esclavo" (I want to be your slave). Kind of more romantic sounding in Spanish, don't ya think?
Not to mention that it is the total opposite kind of request.
Better late than never? Was "balancing" my checkbook this AM, reviewing a statement from July 7, 2007. I don't really call what I do balancing, because I can't keep a checkbook balanced for more than a month. I have to keep a big balance in there in case of problems. I DO try to add and subtract various things but it never comes out exactly right. That is why I tell them to not count on me in church to count the money. I count everything three times and if it comes out the same twice, I consider that to be reality.
So much on my mind these days....shopping, wrapping, computers, exercising, appointments. Don't know which way to go first. So much to do at home, but so much to do OUT. Currently OUT and probably will STAY out til bedtime. Don't really enjoy being home in the DARK, cold night. I want to be HOME when it is sunny and nice but I want to be out then, too. See what a quandery my life is? It is so hard being me.
