Whining

[susandennis]

I just typed out a fairly long and detailed entry about all the things that are standing in between me and content. The purpose of the entry was to 'talk it out' with myself and see if I could see a fix. I think I did. So I ate the entry.

It pretty much boils down to 'get over it.' One of the down sides of being a loner is that you spend way too much time with nobody but you. Doh. You have nobody to worry about but you. You start to focus on things that truly need to be just left alone and ignored. Distractions are self-created. So if you don't create them, you aren't distracted and you really get to zero in on that one life wart that otherwise would never even get a notice and shouldn't ever get one anyway.

I need a new distraction of some kind. I'm not sure what it is or what it will be. But, until I get it, any stupid obsessing about my job, my decorating project, how I feel physically, or really any other irritant - none of that is going to count. If I can't will it away, I can control how it affects interactions with other people and the kind of job I do. I can and I will. So there.

Gmail is down. This happened one day last week, too. It makes me realize how dependent I have become on it for communication and information storage. And, there is really no backup. I need to conjur on this a bit. Maybe consider a backup of some kind - contacts or key bits of info, etc.

I read in the paper this morning that my bus is going to get WiFi 'in the Fall'! I honestly don't have a need for it but it would be very cool.

The Mariners have won two games in a row. It's a winning streak! Over the past 13 years that I have been a Mariner fan there have certainly been way more Seasons That Suck than Those That Don't. But those few Those That Don't have really kind of ruined it for the others. However, I must admit, the wins now - those where you know the opposing teams are looking for a few quick wins now that The Sucky Team is in town - are sweet.

I will quickly organize several drive by moonings for you. This should serve as a distraction!
