It's been so long since I've had a blogging movement that I see no point in synopsizing the past months. Let's just start with the present.
Financially things are in chaos. I owe so many bills and debts right now it makes my head spin. The only thing I know for sure is that the mortgage will be back on track within a few weeks. The van payments? who knows. I keep checking out the window to make sure it hasn't been repo'd. Of course, keeping the house is pointless if the electric, gas, phone, cable, internet, groceries, etc aren't paid.
So I'm delivering pizzas part-time. Colleen is starting part-time hours at the same pizza hut. I hope sometime soon things will converge allowing us to actually work the same hours one day. It will, I'm sure, bring back weird deja vu memories of the old MotoPhoto job, where we met in 1997. Will any of these minimum wage adventures save our monetary woes? Hopefully so. All I know is it's a shame that in the 21st century a teacher's salary is so damn inadequate.
I spent a few months on depression medication. I think it helped my mood a little. But it costs 30$ a month, and I haven't refilled it since it ran out a few weeks ago. I guess this is now an experimental time. I don't know if I feel any worse. Although today I twice broke into tears: once after thinking of my mood on 9/11, and later after hearing the 1st verse of Everclear's "Wonderful". Regarding 9/11, maybe I'll explain some other time what happened to me that day that gets me weepy. Regarding the Everclear song, google the lyrics and read the first verse, and it'll be obvious why, as a father of 3 boys, that song rarely fails to get to me.
Lately I've been downloading talk radio podcasts for my 2 hour commute. I am addicted to the Penn Jillette show (as in "the talking guy from penn+teller"). Check it out sometime. Warning: dude's a VERY outspoken atheist.
BTW, HOLEE SH--! The democrats took back congress!!! WoOhOo! I think there's hope for the U.S. after all...
That's all for now. Expect more rambling messes some other time.
