Day 4

[piplover]

I have a lot of random thoughts, lol.  So yeah, you've been warned.

Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.

1)  What is my country coming to? It frightens me if I think about it too much. Literally frightens me, when I think of the rights being taken away, the elections being purchased, and the general apathy that seems to keep people from rising up against it. 

2)  If I had born in a different era, would I be the same person I am today?  Would I be stronger?  Or weaker?  Would I have the same viewpoints I do today?  I think a lot in hypotheticals, lol.

3)  Will I ever find someone I can trust enough to date again?

4)  What would my life be if I hadn't been injured.  Where would I be now?

5)  I love chocolate. Yes, I think about it a lot.  Hmmmm, chocolate. 

6)  Some days I think I have too much tea. I contemplate my tea cupboard (yes, I have a cupboard devoted to my tea) and wonder if I have too much. Then I select my favorite tea and figure you can never have too much. 

7)  Why I hate my job. It's not, per se, a horrible job.  But it's not the job for me, and each day, when I have to force myself out of bed and drag myself in, it just gets reinforced I need to find something else.   But I also think I need to try and change my view of the work, and accept what I cannot  change for the moment.  I'm still working on that, which is why it probably crosses my mind a lot!

Dude, we could totally hang out and chat. You sound like where I was in my 30's-40's.
Also I worry about my country, but it seems like we are outnumbered by idiots.
Yorkshire Red is my favorite tea, then earl grey=english breakfast tea.
In a different time you would be the same person.
Chocolate is a necessity.
My heart attack has finally given me reason to never enter a machine shop again, at least not as a machinist.
Wish you well-

Heee! I would love to chat!

The idiots are breeding. And I don't mean just literally. It's like, stupidity by osmosis.

Earl grey. I love earl grey, but also peppermint. And green tea. I love a lot of teas, lol. That's probably why my cupboard is so full.

I have to wonder if I would be the same person. If the views I have today wouldn't be totally opposite, or if my beliefs and convictions would be counter to mine own. Would I be strong enough to go against the grain of society?

Chocolate is totally a necessity.

Yeah, my health problems have finally kicked me enough times to realize this job really isn't doing me any favors, except paying the bills.

Thanks for the well wishes! You, too!

I once thought that I might be someone else at a different time, but I keep returning to who I was as a kid. Try as I might to change, Now I've given up. Its too much effort to battle myself.
