No fools

[fbhjr]

So, I’ve set myself some projects.
Yesterdays, which I failed to complete, was to get all my paperwork for being out of work done and finished.
I probably should have picked one that didn’t depend on bureaucracies for the first one I wanted to finish.

But, I set off. As a bunch of things are fairly local, I walked a lot yesterday. And, doing so I saw some stuff that made me think about my situation.

First, next to our bank for as long as we’ve lived in Shrewsbury (15+ years) there has been a Blockbuster video store.
But, now it is closed.


The tattered Blockbuster flag at half mast really seemed to sum it up for me.

On the way home, I walked past a tax preparation company. With April 15th coming up, this is their big time of year. So, they’ve hired a woman to stand outside in a Statue of Liberty costume and wave at people driving by.


Now I’ve been paid to dress in a gorilla suit, so I’m not saying I don’t understand this. I’m just saying, I hope it never comes back to that for me.

Today I did finish one of my smaller projects.


Folks who haven’t been to our apartment will probably say “so what?”
Well, it took 4 large garbage bags not to mention what it took for the printer. (Printer wasn’t much good anyhow. I just wish it didn’t weight almost 100 pounds...)

This is on top of applying to a dozen or so places already. Everyone who has sent me ideas, thanks! I’ve been using them!
