Well, dad's done working.

Today was his last day at UTA. After 27+ years he decided he was old enough to leave the place. He's already decided that we are going to go fishing every day from now to eternity. Can't wait.

I think I need to go drinking with Scott.

Tonight I learned something I already knew but seem to have forgotten.

Most people fret about themselves and their status,
but you don't have to do this.

What is success and failure?

If you have prestige and favor,
all you worry about is that it'll get taken away.
And if you have a lowly place,
you are basically afraid.
So, both, at the root, make for fear.

What does it mean that success is a problem?

It means people are to bound up in themselves.
If they weren't so self-obsessed
they'd have no reason to be worried.

If you can put yourself aside -
then you can do things for the whole of the world.
And if you love the world, like this
then you are ready to serve it.

FINALLY!!!

I got my call back from UTA on the job I applied for. I go in on Christmas Eve to take another test. Guess I had a score close to someone else. I thought I was out of the running completly. This would be a premo job if I could get it. I guess we will see.

It's done.

Connie is in with her parents and I have space. For the past 24 hours I have been boxing up the little things that got left behind. Con will have to come and get them sometime soon. I was happy to know that my sleeping habits haven't changed. In bed at 11:00pm up at 3:00am . Four hours no more no less. I guess I should be glad I get any sleep at all. If it weren't for Ambien I probably wouldn't.

I went to the Doctor today and he informed me that it's all in my head and it's grey. I can't have green or yellow like everyone else I have to have grey. Biaxin, mmmmmmmmm, got to love it. At least my lungs are alright. I have been worried that it was starting to settle down in them. I have worked hard at not getting sick because I am afraid of turning back into that worthless blob that I was a few years ago.

Well, guess I am going to go up and study for awhile. I moved my butt ugly, orange chair upstairs. It is the most comfortable chair in the whole world. I can now sit by my window and read. Got to love that.
