 I feel like hell warmed over.....

The couch is calling and I am answering it's call.

Not silent. But still just as deadly
.

I'm at Barbras Bookstore. They are selling a copy of "Atlas Shrugged for $12.99?" Why, that's positively extortionate. It's confiscation. It's legalized theft, that's what it is.

 I haven't had a single cup of coffee today. All my anxiety has been replaced by a preternatural feeling of calm and tranquility.

OK, off to Caribou. 

Friday afternoon bullet points.


  • I cut my finger on the broken motion sensing faucet in an Arby's this afternoon. Thanks to the military, I'm up to date on my shots but I expect to be stricken with some exotic blood borne illness just as well. It's been nice knowing everyone. 
  • The worst part of it is that I cannot scratch my _ _ _  efficiently. 
  • I'm taking a 59 year old college professor and her boyfriend shooting in the morning. Neither have ever held a firearm. They want me to teach them how to be safe with a pistol.
  • To teach them that firearms are safe, I have loaded up the Jeep with every single firearm I own. Fun times are going to be had by all. 
  • There just may be some tannerite hidden in my range bag waiting for a suprise ending at the closing of the day. 
  • From my home in Cochran to my parking spot in Atlanta is 126 miles. I drive the trip 4 times a week (Monday through Thursday). From Friday to Sunday, I am working as usual. (34 mile commute) 
  • 124 each way is 248 miles a day x 4 = 992 miles a month. x 6 months = 5962 miles so far this year. 5962 miles / The Jeep's 24 Mpg = 260 gallons of gas. 260 gallons x 3.30$ = 860$ in gas costs alone. 
  • The second house in Atlantic Station is looking more and more appealing.

Life is full of balances.
The unstoppable Ebb and Flow of the Atlantic tide as it strips land away in Africa only to use that soil and build up new islands along the South American horn . The Southern summer heat melting asphalt as the Sun blazes overhead is balanced out by cold winds of Winter that come on so strong that rocks freeze and break apart from its icy grip.
Today, I had one of the absolutely worst days in quite a long time. I almost quit both my job and school in one fell swoop because of the frustration and impatience in myself. I came home, took care of  some household needs, walked my pups, then sat down and drank what was left of a bottle of port in the refrigerator just so I wouldn't have to deal with this day anymore.
Then out of the blue, a smile is placed upon my face. I know that the way it got there didn't mean anything. But as I lay here in bed trying futility to fall asleep, I am so happy.

Goodnight and Sweet Dreams.
 I hope all of you have a great day. 
Screw top port wine. For when your day has been bad enough that you give zero fucks how the rest of it goes.
