School started in Florida, yesterday...

and I am overwhelmingly relieved that I am no longer a part of that...

Got up this morning and left the house as soon as I could arrange to.  Not gonna be a hermit today.

I hope I don't see those little skanks today.  Also hope I don't overreact if I do.

Been here 26 years in December and never been a problem for anyone. Why is being "different" a crime?

I'm sure that some of the renewed interest stems from my being outside, usually dressed in some short shorts, with my eyes bandaged up.  That DOES look odd. But it harms NO ONE.

I've told a few people in the neighborhood why this happens;  even told Ma Barker.  I guess the word has not filtered out.  I dress that way because it is comfortable, I'm inside, most of the time, just sitting around or taking a nap. Again, I ask, what possible harm am I doing to anyone?

As I mentioned yesterday, my working for a year in Florida did some good, financially. By mid year, three of my major debts will be gone.

In the upcoming year, I will either sell the RV or dump the house...maybe both.  Time to reorient and reprioritize some things.  With $1000 more in disposable income, I will be better able to do that.

I'm at Panera Bread for lunch.  Just met my second Rockingham County parent since I came in. Both tell me I am remembered with fondness.  That does the old heart good.
