‘When you want to fool the world, tell the truth.’
From Otto Von Bismark.
Countdown - 5 weeks left.
I must start making those dreaded lists of stuff to get done - my major problem always has been one of being overwhelmed by too many things to do - and then either trying to juggle 20 different tasks at once, or getting frustrated and not doing any of them. Or forgetting the other 19 tasks when I complete one.
For example: I keep forgetting to renew my passport. Its due to expire this year - and should I have need for it, or a burning desire to ex-pat myself to some sunny locale with good local rum and women clad in only grass skirts, I want nothing, including bureaucratic nonsense, to stand in my way…
I also must lay in a good supply of Xanax or some other mood chilling chemical. The occupational butt worm is reaching new levels of annoyance, and with people taking last vacation days, calling out sick or just not giving a flying fuck, my tension level is through the roof. Plus, dammit, it started snowing, AGAIN, and I for one, am ready to go against my enviro-conscience and embrace global warming if I can get some damn sunshine…
But, on a completely different note: the little snowman I found yesterday morning was courtesy of Puma and Dani, who ventured out into the wee hours because Dani (being from tropical climes) had never encountered snow. I wish I had been part of that - just to see someone experience a part of nature for the first time - I can only imagine the childlike glee and wonder, much like I could imagine someone seeing the ocean for the first time…
