On Many Subjects

Something is wrong with my brain. I have been reading blogs for over an hour to find something funny to write about and nothing is out there that even made me crack a tiny smile. AND you may have notived a gross lack of new post lately. I have a lot on my mind... Okay, I will just go with it. Right now, KayFour will write a boring blog about nothing in particular. And even if every on Opera chimes in and tells me my blog is boring, well that is Okay, too. I can handle the criticism. Truth is, life got really big all of a sudden. I am like, "Why does this always happen to me?" There has to be something cosmic involved. Anyway, as I was saying, my life suddenly got much bigger. I am looking for another job, I am looking for another apartment, I am looking for... well a lot of things that will improve my life. I am looking to acquire a TV stand, a coffee table, real bookshelves, navy blue bedroom curtains, navy blue dust ruffle... okay maybe I will move and then buy n...

When something goes totally right in your life, do you ever pump your arm at the sunset and then freeze like Judd Nelson in the final scene of The Breakfast Club ? Me, neither.

It all began last week when Digitaljon and I had a disagreement, a bit of a row, a quarrel, or whatever term you choose to use to describe a suddenly escalating situation that got totally out of hand because of misunderstanding, feelings of abandonment, and the hole in the ozone layer. We were FINISHED, I tell you. He was not coming home and I was totally shattered... for three days, which is apparently a universal limit of some kind becuase everything always seems better after three days. Anyway, the gossip-mill was in full swing. I talked to my son about what happened and he gave me some pretty good and sound advice, which I appreciate. Then he mentioned it to someone, who mentioned it to someone else... and well you get the picture. Before the weekend was over, every member of my family was aware of the situation. The funny thing is, Digitaljon and I talked about it and discussed it and essentially "made-up" and were happy as clams. I got a phone call from #1 daughter...

I found this when I was Stumbling instead of working:

Something weird is happening at work. The phone rings, I pick it up with my normal cheerful speil designed to get people to respond and I heard nothing. So, I repeat myself. Me: Good Morning! This is SUPER HIGH TECH WEB DESIGN COMPANY. How can I help you? Caller:..... Me: Good Morning! This is SUPER HIGH TECH WEB DESIGN COMPANY. How can I help you? Caller:..... Then, I hang up after listening to a protracted silence because nobody says anything. I know the phones are working because get plenty of calls from people who actually say stuff, but this is ridiculous. At least 8 or 10 times every day I get a call from NOTHING. Coworker #3: No one is on the phone. What's up with that? Me: I dunno. I happens a lot. C3: Maybe it is a wrong number. Me: 10 times a day? C3: Maybe they have a bad connection Me: 10 times a day? C3: Maybe it is aliens who are trying to make first contact. Me: Oh, yeah, right. If I were an alien trying to make first contact with the human race,...

Me: I am not going to work today. Digitaljon: Why not? Me: I don't want to. DJ: That's it? Me: Yes. That's it. I am not going to work today. DJ: Ok Me: I really mean it. DJ: Ok ME: I am not kidding. DJ: I didn't think you were. Me: I am totally staying home, today. DJ: You said that. Me: I know I have said this before and went to work anyway, but I really mean it today. DJ: I know you do. Me: No. I REALLY REALLY mean it. DJ: All right. Me: I am very serious. DJ: I would be surprised if you weren't Me: I am not going and that is final! DJ: Ok. Me: Final! I am not going to work! DJ: Where are you going now? Me: I need to take a shower because I have to get ready for work. DJ: You are making me crazy.

I have sooooo neglected my blog for the past week. Anyway, here goes: Things I feel I should be doing more actively after reading this month’s O Magazine . *Figuring out what I’d do if I only had five years to live. *Doing what comes naturally, reflexively, effortlessly *Switching to Yves meatless taco stuffers *Figuring out what I’d do if money weren’t an obstacle. *Pretending that I am smart enough not to be distracted by the Grecian tragedy unfolding for the Spears family. *Figuring out what my regrets would be if I died tomorrow. *Designing my life to bring me joy. *Meditating on compassion. *Relaxing.
