Don't sweat it. It's just small stuff. I'm going to go for quality over quantity. I'm going to root for the Colts today. I am going to edit some today, too. But, with all due and required apologies to all whom I may offend, I'm gonna sleep as long as I want to today.

Next week will be a busy one for me, and Sara will be here by mid-week, if all (and the weather) goes according to plan. Her birthday is on February 9th. Budroesgirl is a member here, as I'm sure you all know by now. She keeps tabs on me, and keeps me honest.

Farmville has been a great distraction for me, but it is waning in my willingness to participate. I'm getting up into the levels now, and the more I advance, the less I can do without paying dollars to play. I know it's cheaper than therapy, but still I have a sense of basic unfairness about that. I'm not even absolutely sure why I feel that way. But, if it's free, it should stay free. Facebook is undergoing constant change now, and I hear there are notions afoot to begin charging a nominal fee ($ 3.99/mo USD) to use it. Is it worth it?

Yes, when I look at the charges for this very site--if you are looking for social internet interaction. No, if you are disabled, living on a fixed income. Pennies add up, as the previous few months have shown me. I've kind of gone crazy over the past few months. I could fill a blog just on that! I won't.

Basics only for a while now. I've spent my plunder. I have what I need, and have even been privileged to have some things that I want. I can't get "above my raisin'", after all. I need to remember that if I want to have things in the short term future that I want.

I'll be well if I keep my eye on the prize. (Financially, anyway.) It has been a good diversion to feel like something other than a patient for at least a little while. I will admit that my silence here is usually a good indication of my feelings about my medical stuff. Trimming back for good reasons makes me feel differently than "having" to. It's like looking at a prison cell, knowing that there will come a day when you are going back into that cell, and you very well may not come back out.

I know it sounds silly, but that's how it feels. It's kind of hard to enjoy the light of day from a prison exercise yard, ya know? So, some days not Blue, while meaningful, are not an indication of laxity or dallying. Sometimes, you just have to do the things that people do when they are alive.

Else, why bother?

Have a legendary week. I hope your team wins. I hope you write new words, every day this week. I will be here,

In His Care,

Budroe
