So here I am in my 37-year old, no make-up, looking too smug for my own good, pic. See Icon. Two weeks recent, right after I hacked my own hair.
And yes, that is my real hair color.
( And now for the depressing part of the post... )
Money, racism, and blame...

It's also possible I will piss people off. For this, I apologize. I'll be saying things that will get some hackles up.
It isn't directed at anyone personally--it is a reaction to things I have read and thought about from all sorts of sources--some of which I was pointed to by people on my flist, which is why I'm making the distinction. My reaction here is from years of watching the same thing over and over in different forums, not just here.
Like every opinion, it should be taken with a grain of salt.
I just hope it brings out some positive thought along with negative.
( It must suck to be us. )

Feeling slightly depressed, which I think happens to most people around this time of year, despite the intentions of the season. Doesn't help that it's monthly time, the house hold budget is so tight it's ass squeaks, I'm out of my herbals, and I miss my family...
Wow...whine whine whine. Anybody else hear the puppy squeals?
Anyhow, I refuse to be depressed, so...a little exercise...(To be added to as I think of more and have the time at work).
Dear Great Spirit
Thank you.
Thank you for taking care of me.
Thank you for a life where I have so much to be thankful for.
I have a loving family, even if I can't go see them this year.
I have kick-ass online friends.
I have a cool supervisior (who isn't yelling at me while I take a break and type this).
I have lovely, loving pets, including an eighteen year-old cat who is still going strong.
I have interbuttnet. DSL internet no less. (And some people can't even afford a computer with 56k access.
I have two video game systems and plenty of games to go with them.
I have music
I have a roof over my head.
I have food and clothes.
I have twenty dollars in my savings account (better than nothing!)
I have a working, legal car.
The state renewed my driver's license six months after the fact without making me come in for a drivers test.
I have my sight, hearing, and ability to walk.
I am healthy.
I am loved.
Thank you.
