Mutiny or Anarchy or Whatever

My kitty doesnt care that she makes a better door than a window when sitting in direct view of my laptop screen. She just purrs away, completely oblivious. Ah, to be a kitty. THAT would be awesome (I should specify that it would only be awesome to be a spoiled and dearly loved kitty, because some kitties in the world truly have it hard).
ANYWHO. There is a constant shortage of money in my life but I suspect that this is a common problem in America (and the world) these days, so who can I really complain to? No one, thats who. Im not sure that the world shares my lack of motivation lately, though. I was talking to a friend last night who I havent seen in a while and after telling him the events of my life recently he was like "Wow, sounds like its been rough for you lately. Time to take a little time off and recoup, right?" and I was like "Yeah, definitely". But I think I might be taking it to the next level, as its kinda hard to get motivated to do anything lately, fun or otherwise. I guess that is a classic sign of depression and I guess if you've been paying attention, life has been depressing lately. I wonder if this time around the government will hand out Valium with food rations? I mean, it would be nice. Also they better not cut off our booze supply because I would surely be down with mutiny or anarchy or whatever.
Boys continue to baffle me. That will probably never change though seeing as how they are from Mars and all. Not that I am completely on board with that school of thought, but whatever. There is definitely some kind of disconnect there.
The good news is that Ive been spending lots more time at home and this makes me feel more like myself. I guess I am a person who likes to be grounded which is a huge change from who I was not that many years ago. Before, I craved spontaneity and chaos, (which, dont get me wrong, are nice in doses - small doses) and now I just want things to be somewhat routine and predictable. I only like the pleasant surprises. Weird, I know. So in my immediate future I see more cooking and reading - its possible that I may get down with some knitting even - and this pleases me. Strange how the things that please me have changed so drastically over the years.
