• Never pay Retail Therapy

  I have definitely hit the bottom empty gas tank of my soul. My glass is half assed.

  
  
  Mom wore me out.

  She is home and doing only ok. I had to take a step back this past day or two. I talk to her daily and Kaiser has a nurse, a physical therapist and an aide calling on her at home. She is not alone.

  The day I took her home from the hospital I was out until eleven o’clock at night picking up her prescriptions and groceries. I have been in no mood for frivolities these past few days.

  Just hunkered down, going to work and BEING home.

  Work is fine. I have this huge stress that they will fire me due to all the constant interruptions of my mom’s stuff. I received no less than ten phone calls on Monday, the day I took her home. It is insane. I still have Kaiser and the medical appliance place calling my cell phone. 

  I have been MAXED out. So…

  
  
  Like this but different…

  I bought a couch off of craigslist. It is the coolest couch in the history of couches. I wish I had a photo. I knew that when I saw it in person I would have to have it…it was true.

  
  
  This is not my couch, if it was I would NEVER need a new one…
  
  Now, of course, I have to list my couch and love seat (which I am totally tired of) to sell on craigslist. This will temper the expenditure…if they sell. I cannot fit them here once the new couch shows up. It is a sectional and it goes the wrong direction but I do not care. It is so gorgeous. The couple paid $3,200 for it originally, I saw the invoice and checked out the designer web site. (I am paying so so so much less) I loooooove this couch. It will easily sleep three or more musicians. And it is lavender microfiber, down filled pillows, contemporary and with chrome legs. Oh yeah, it is so cool.

  Ok, that is what I do when I stress out big time. I hit craigslist.

  
  
  Hey xanga crew – how are you doing? What is your weird sin when you and your little soul are feeling on E???

  Meanwhile…I have been thinking of starting a new blog, separate from this one. About desperate living. In reference to these very hard times we are ALL experiencing. Times are very tough. We have become creative, forthright, strong and perhaps diabolical to deal with what this economy may be dealing back at us. Do you think you might be interested in commenting and sharing on this subject? What have you needed and have had to do to make things work? A place to share without judgment when, perhaps, you may have been without hope? What do you think?
  Good grief…I am giving myself away…also, how could I make this site absolutely anonymous?
