Maybe I&#8217;ll read it on the bus and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xkcd.com\/374\/\">pretend that I&#8217;m deep<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Great week overall. A couple things happened that put in a good mood. A few times I&#8217;ve walked down the street listening to Bonnie Tyler and felt awesome. Now normally I walk down the street AND listen to Bonnie Tyler, and don&#8217;t necessarily feel awesome, so it&#8217;s progress not attributable to Bonnie Tyler lyrics which ARE awesome on their own accord. I&#8217;ve kicked my own ass and made some small steps at taking care of old business, starting as early as Sunday, which as been good.<\/p>\n<p>There was that whole consulting business back in Maine which a good handful of EVERYONE I knew there bailed on me on. Getting that sorted out, and paying for it. But someone&#8217;s got to. Turns out I get to pay more medical bills because of insurance lapses between startups. I guess that&#8217;s the cost of not working thirty years for a pension at some blue chip place. Taking care of that too though.<\/p>\n<p>I went on a date this week too, it&#8217;s been a while since I did that, and that was a lot more fun that I could have hoped for. I had almost given up on that shit, having given it a shot and somehow came out of it feeling almost more lonely. Looks like I can still like people though.<\/p>\n<p>Not a whole lot going on the last couple days otherwise I guess. Staying sane mostly, but glad for a couple happy days all the same, even if it&#8217;s possibly in my head. That&#8217;s the part that doesn&#8217;t like the winters anyways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My paper copy of NE came today.
