Sometimes you just need to DO it.

I thought I might take the plunge and actually dive into wordpress.com. For some reason, my initial response when I first saw this blogging site was that I had to pay money to even be a member. And how wrong I was!
I really enjoy blogging, and a lot of times it cleanses my mind, and helps me escape from life, even if that’s what I’m writing about. Being able to type out loud and express my opinion without a bunch of people getting angry (even though people still do) helps me stay sane.
Because I work almost constantly, I would feel the need to blog about my job, but I know that that would not be a wise thing to do, so it will be a healthy challenge to try and find things to talk about other than work.
I guess I could start out with saying how I hate this weather very recently. For a few days it was beautiful and warm, and when the sun was out, the tickle of its breath was so refreshing after the cold, dark days that were winter… And then Thursday happened, and all of that loveliness when to shit. It is now dangerously windy (I can feel the draft coming through the walls at my apartment) and the rain/snow mixture makes me chilled to the bones. Even as I’m writing this, the temperature is a nice frosty 34 degrees, even though it feels like it’s about 25-ish. And the rain is steadily beating on my roof.
Today, in the shitty rain, I went to the library for the first time since I’ve lived here and got a library card, and checked out some books. I love reading, and for some strange reason, I didn’t go to the library when I got here to check out books. Maybe I didn’t have the time, but I’m going to bet that it was just because I “never got around to it.”
Anyway, I’m sure some changes are on their way. I’ve been letting my brother stay with me until he gets a job, and let me tell you: My paycheck can not and does not support two people, and that is what I’m attempting to do right now. Some good news came today, though, and I think he might have a job in the very near future. It all looks promising. Let’s just hope not too promising.
As for right now, I’m going to curl up on my bed and look at the ceiling for a while.
