Well, the sun's only just beginning its decline into night. It's almost odd to see actual leaves on the trees--and fluttering shadows, again. It's breezy but mild today, another nearly cloudless day.
I'm tempted to go out on the balcony, but..nah. Boring. It was nice to sit of an evening in the country--but, despite all the activity on the street, the cars and sometimes people, the trees in front of the old Victorian homes, the crows and other birds, it's not the same. Hard to explain why, but it is. I am not one who ever liked just sitting around on a beach, either, so maybe it's something like that, I guess.
Well, the Dr Who story is done. Won't do another on this site, but..it was something to pass the time with, and the re-writing and editing did give me something to do.
I am going to try not to talk too much about what's going on with me. I honestly think that few people really want to hear about it, and I'm thinking it makes people uncomfortable--which in turn, makes me uncomfortable..so, not going there, much, if I can help it.
Pretty stiff breeze out there, must be going to rain. They had some really bad storms out to the midwestern states, they tend to come here, eventually, tho' usually they calm down by then. It's a big country, and sometimes that's a good thing, weatherwise. The Albany Tulip Festival will be on, soon. I sort of miss seeing that. I put in a photo from it, below. Albany was a Dutch city, in the 1600's, Fort Orange. It's the capital city of NY, later re-named for the Duke of Albany.
If I had any money left--which I don't, really, and a car, I'd go to the drive-in movies tonight...pop some microwave popcorn (movie theater butter flavour, of course), stick some Cokes and/or orange soda and some ice in the cooler, grab some takeaway from the Chinese Buffet across the street from the outdoor theater, or maybe order a pizza on the way, or grab some KFC or tacos from Taco Bell...ah well. No go there, ey? Well, I could, some day maybe, take a cab and a lawn chair, fill my duffle with popcorn and Cokes, and walk in to the drive-in's--I could tell a white lie and say I was meeting someone, he-he... 
So, it's just me, the cats and the computer tonight. Got spaghetti with meatsauce for dinner--my next-to-last "big" meal for the week. I wanted to get some salad mix, for a tossed green salad, but it was too expensive. Even a head of lettuce went up in price--everything at the supermarket, in just one week, went way up in price! 10 cents to a dollar or more--groceries that would have cost me 25 or 30 dollars last week, cost over 40 dollars this week. No big deal if you've got the money--but the timing for the sudden raise in prices, simply could not have been worse, for me. 
So, I'm here. I'm scared out of my wits over the near-future. I'm tired as hell of the instability and dead-ends, but...nothing. Nothing to do. No point in lamenting over it, is there. It is what it is. It's not going to change, other than get worse. Well, I paid, when I moved in, first and last month's rent--and security. So, at least they can't say they don't have my money. I didn't entirely get drunk, last night. Tho' I did take some cooler with my medicine, to help me sleep--which it did, and that was a genuine blessing. Sleep is a wonderful thing--barring nightmares. Sometimes, I wish I could just sleep forever, and never wake--but where's the fun in that, ey? The fight's not over yet, at any rate. I'm still standing, taking body blows from life--there's something to be said for that, I guess.
But, that's all I'm going to say, on the subject. No more. From now on, it's all light and fluffy from me. Tra-la and etcetera.
