Blah blah blah blah
Funny how I can go from inspired to bored in the blink of a weekend. Floating on cloud nine with my ginger tea on Saturday, and then struggling to keep my head above water (mood wise) with the same ginger tea plus a lemon peel tonight (even had some Gerolsteiner water and a few extra Altoids prior to the tea AND watched one of my favorite TV shows, Transgeneration.) It could be a blah blah Monday thing, but I suspect it has more to do with the fact that I'm just one helluva moody son (daughter) of a gun.
My bank pissed me off today, work was blah, and I discovered a rather alarming growth (?) the size of a lentil but hard as a pebble right below the first knuckle of my right index finger (palm side). It's too deep to be a callous or something skin-related so I'm not really sure what the hell it is. An alien? Shit man.
I talk about a lot of personal stuff in my blog, but I can't help but focus on selfish things when it seems sometimes, when I look outward, that the world is going to shit. I'm not big on political rants - I'd rather keep those to myself or between Dave and I - but man this country/world is f--ed up in SO many ways! I try not to think too much about global issues too because local community-based and individual concerns have my attention and energy at my job. It is hard enough not to sink into despair when I ponder those issues alone too long.
Anyway, to make a long story short I'm reading an excellent book by Ken Midkiff called The Meat We Eat. It is about factory farms - basically where all of our meat, dairy and eggs come from. I've been semi-aware of the nastiness of these places, but I've never had a book quite open my eyes like this one has. Is the book contributing to my depression this evening?? No, I don't think so, but it might not help either. I'm almost finished with it, and I can't wait to pass it along to my Dad who I think will enjoy it. Well, it isn't to be enjoyed exactly, but it is definitely a must read for anyone concerned about the food that they dump down their gullet on a daily basis.
So that's my Monday story. I wish I had something more interesting to talk about, but like I said I'm rather uninspired this eve. I'll go to bed soon and finish the book.
