I live on the top floor of my building. Not the highest place I've ever called home but it does force me to think a bit ahead in terms of how many times I want to go up and down the stairs. I think it's more proactive than lazy. I have a dog-we walk a lot, I don't go down without checking to see if garbage needs to go out or do I have to hit the mailbox or is there something else I can do on this route to make the next one easier.



This was Day 29.



I did sort of a… Continue

I'm getting down to the end and what I've noticed is, that not unlike a bowl of cold, disgusting, oatmeal that seems to grow larger with every removed spoonful? Things are growing back.



Yesterday, I shared candy with strangers. Today, my dog dragged me into a local clothing shop called Filoni and the shop owner shared candy with me. (And cookies with my dog-thus the dragging AND when I told her I loved what I had seen in the windows but knew it was out of my current range? She… Continue

After I read Cami's story about the iced tea this morning, I heightened my risk factor(okay, not really)but I found myself with some contraband Halloween Candy in my pockets from attending an event and I knew I wasn't supposed to be eating it and as I walked along I found two different men who were out working in the cold and I handed it over to them. I think it's kinda funny how people act all weird about the dangers of taking candy from strangers because these two guys appeared to be… Continue

Today (sort-of) verified something I've been wondering about. If you do indeed get what you give (cosmic-ly speaking, of course)or does what goes around really come around or do you truly get out of something what you put into it or words to that effect.



People handed things to me all day long and I passed them on immediately because A) Like I said, my existence runneth over and B)I started thinking about 'things' and what we claim to own and how all that stuff seems to be ours only… Continue

I have been harboring a tiny bit o resentment regarding my day gig. It's a sort of a charitable organization and I keep being asked to write checks to them for various fundraisers or whatever and I 'get' to go to these outside events but the parking costs seem like they are more than my gross pay and today brought an envelope with 'raffle tickets' that I am responsible for 'selling'(read:buying) and so, I thought ya know what? They can't tell me who's name to put on the tickets, so I have… Continue
