A Journal of Sorts
"My whole life I have lived in pleasant thoughts,
As if life's business were a summer mood;
As if all needful things would come unsought
To genial faith, till rich in genial good;
But how can He expect that others should
Build for him, sow for him, and at his call
Love him, who for himself will take no heed at all?"
~ William Wordsworth ~
and tonight we went to dinner for Jerry's birthday and for the friend of Ben's who's birthday was a couple of days ago and for mine too... and then we went to a computer club meeting (Ben is a past president) and they nominated me for vice-president... what do I know?... luckily I learn fast J
that was the better part of the day J
I also found out I must move out of here as soon as possible today... basically, Ben's daughter wants him and the space all to herself, she has been clear about that since the first day she arrived... her tantrums finally got dangerous enough to get us out... it's for the best, I suppose... and hopefully she'll get the help she needs and it won't backfire on them both... anyway, suddenly I'm searching for the roommate emails I said no to and hoping somebody might still be available in at least the same, but hopefully better situation... this was a compromise, sharing the bathroom and living in someone else's house... I think I'd rather be an equal partner with a roommie sharing a space we both (or all three) rent... and it's probably better for me to choose an apartment place that has a pool and laundry and recreation... so this is hopefully (if I find what I seek and a cool person or people to share with) a blessing in disguise... the budget director is choking a bit though J
yeah, still smiling... I think Ben and I may become better friends this way... and heck, I'm focusing on hopefully making some professional connections and (shudder) getting a reasonable job... and could I maybe find a close friend for me?... ah yes, there's always hope... besides, this is nothing compared to getting thrown out of a country (oh that laugh hurt)...
