Productive today yet it's not enough... must find ways of getting things done in less time. Blogged a bit, on almost all my blogs, today. But has been a while since I had done that before, and may not really be consistent. Finally starting to get organized in contact info for the over 1000 email addys and other stuff, some of it random. Postage costs wiped out my budget this month, I must learn to not mail to those that aren't actually subscribed to Poet's Espresso or contribute. I also must learn to budget as in, not spend on anything not absolutely necessary, in order to dig myself out of debt and unpaid bills piling up. This year the extra stimulus check went right into getting a small upgrade that was necessary to make my software run well without the freezing all the time (CS2 on 256MB RAM is not a pretty sight, so I got a 2GB RAM computer hand-me down from a friend for $300. no monitor, but used old one.) Anyway, I'm learning to deal with the younger generation that have everything technologically and seem to have bottomless wallets. Maybe, somehow, I can get where I can afford *gasp* a car. And have *gasp* full time work. Good luck everyone on coping with this recession and with dealing with the next run of war-mongering presidents, whichever major party wins it's going to be war in Iran, unfortunately I'm certain of it. - love and peace, Donald R.
