A bus sped right by as I stood on the bus stop. I believe it was the #20. I can’t believe she didn’t see!

The next bus that went by was the #2. The #2 bus stopped for me. I ended up catching the light rail on time. The train is being driven by the usual gray haired man. It looks like I will be on time this morning.

I’m still upset about the election but not as upset as I was a few days ago. I suppose I’ve moved into acceptance phase of grief....

YASUR ARIFAT IS DEAD I’m not quiet sure how I feel about the death of Yasur Arifat. There are also reports out there that he is still alive. Right now I’m not quiet sure if he’s dead or alive. All I know is that he’s that old guy that wears that checkered scarf on his head.THE MOST FINANCIALLY PAINFUL MONTH: This morning I started making payments on my state and US tax returns. I’m paying them off the easiest way I know how....on the internet. I pay the majority of my bills on the internet. I pay both my college loans via the internet as well as my phone bill. I wish I could pay my rent and gas and electric bill on line as well. It would make my life easier.

The only thing I use actual money for is buying sodas from the vending machine at work and paying my Avon bill, and feeding laundromat machines.

WHAT I’M WEARING: Today I have on an oatmeal colored print mock turtleneck. It has a red design on it of flowers and little plaid squares. I’m wearing it with these oatmeal coloured jeans and black canvas shoes. I wanted to wear the beige Muppet shoes but they sort of clashed with the outfit. They looked more green than beige when paired with the oatmeal colored stuff.
