My house is currently empty of everyone but me and the cat, and by the time anyone gets back I will have gone for the evening. It’s taking more time than I care to think about on the bus, but it beats paying more than $30.00 for a cab. It’s absurd that at my age I am this excited about leaving the house, but this is my life.

My whole life, I’ve heard that as you get older it becomes harder to learn to do things a different way from how you have been, and I’ve always just laughed and thought it’s because old people are set in their ways and aren’t open to new things. Now I am apparently an old person, because I’ve been sitting here for quite some time trying to do a new style of posting and failing miserably. I hate admitting defeat, so I’ll have to work on it some more, and we’ll all have to deal with what I’ve been doing until I get it.
