I can drive!

there's something happening here (and yeah, what it is ain't exactly too clear), but it's happening... frequently, of late... words are flowing and even if nobody is noticing, something is happening...

maybe a tree is falling in a forest J

anyway, it took all of five minutes and $20 and I have my new license... until 2013, at least, when I have to renew again... they didn't seem to mind at all that I was one day short of being exactly a year and a half late in renewing... they didn't ask why or ask for any ID or anything, just took my old license and a crisp $20 bill and and gave me a new one...

I passed the eye test without any problem... so much for being concerned that I have to hold fine print a bit further away from my eyes than I used to... now I am just concerned that it will prevent some of the intimacy I was used to in this life... alas, the body parts do not last forever... I'll shed a tear and kiss the boo boo and it will be all better...

unfortunately, now that I can drive legally again, I am driving a car without an air conditioner... loving the tropics as I do, I don't mind too much, unless I am sitting in traffic... and now that I work day shift, for the first time in many years (many many many years), I sit in traffic daily on the way to and from work (especially from)... so I get home sticky and clothes need washing more often and so do I... like there's time for extra washes and showers... and getting the air conditioner fixed will not only cost, but probably mean taking a day off from work... not a day off to rest and relax and nurture me (and I've wanted a few of those for some time now), but a day off to sit in a hot dirty garage waiting for the mechanics to fix the air conditioner and extract untoild hundreds of dollars from my meager savings, all the while hoping they do a good job and don't break anything else in the car... hey, it's going on six years old now, and that's old in car-years, alas...

still, except for when I sit down and whine in words, I'm just be-boping around without a care in the world as if I'm going to live forever and will somehow find a way to survive even if it means working somewhere until the day the body stops breathing... the troubl;e with an early extended retirement is I may have used up all of my leisurely retirement credits for this life... and still, I'm just be-boping without a care in the world in the active life part of this life (as opposed to the sedentary written life part we share here)...

I am not exactly sorting my words precisely these days... whether that means the babbling is tainted by the mundane details of every day life that only friends care about or whether that means these details are blurred by babbling (or the two more positive ways to see it, cuz these two are the negative possibilities, ya know), it is happening... and that's something too...

so I'll just keep filling the web with words in various places and make it impossible for anyone to actually keep up with me unless they are rich and obsessed and then maybe they'll adopt me and I can retire again (the method to my madness might have some strange sort of logic to it... am I not supposed to be laughing at that though?... I'll be good)...

and I wish you peace and love and happiness forever and ever and most especially, tonight...

nite nite J
