There have been a good number of significant life events since Labor Day. The place I worked finally kicked me to the curb. It was not unexpected and I had been planning for it for a couple of years. Due to my age and health I decided to just go ahead and retire rather than subjecting myself to another long and frustrating job hunt.
We have also sold our house and moved into an apartment. Also because of age and health. Neither my wife or myself can really do things like we once could and paying someone else to do them had gotten just too expensive. We had already priced ourselves out of the neighborhood and had we not sold this fall we would have put more money into the place and then never could have sold it for a decent amount.
We moved here in early November so have been here for over a month. Finally have everything we are keeping stowed away and everything we can't keep given away, put in the Consignment store or donated to Goodwill.
Everything seems to be "hunky-dory" around here. So, why can't I work up any interest in today or tomorrow or any tomorrow? I turned sixty four about ten days ago. That is not depressing as by now I realize age is just a number and my "real" age is about thirty years more than my "chronological" age. Today is the nineteenth of December with a temperature of around 73 degrees and bright sunshine. Sitting here at my PC looking out one of the windows I can see all the traffic, cars and pedestrians and all the Christmas decorations outside. Never did much care about holidays. Most especially for fake holidays like Christmas.Maybe that is part of it. Masses of people flooding the shops spending money that don't have to buy gifts for people they can't stand.
Maybe that is part of it. Just so tired of stupid people who are willing, nay eager, to play the fool for the dumbest reasons. Here we are approaching a holiday celebrating the birth of a child who could not possibly have been born on that date. We have a child rapist as our President. He has a fourth grade vocabulary and zero moral standards. He reminds me of a country song called, "She Only Bitches When She Breathes". Cheeto-Skin Tiny-Hands only lies when his lips move. But even when he is not lying personally he has plenty of dumb shits fronting for him. Guess it is depressing how many people witness this every day and still support the sorry SOB.
Cops murdering members of most every minority with no consequences and the professed Christians who say they are following the teaching of a man of Peace are urging them on. They spread hatred for anyone without lily white skin, anyone who does not "worship" the same "god" they do and call it Christianity and other things of equal lies. Somehow they all seem to manage to maintain their own self-righteousness despite all the "laws" Christ taught.
I suppose it is, somehow, appropriate so many people get financially fleeced for the fake holiday called "Christmas". Christmas, the Holiday far antedates Christ. It is just another Winter Solstice celebration the Romans and many others celebrated the "Church" could not force them to give up. So, they co-opted it, changed the name and said it celebrated Jesus' birth. I mean, damn, they did not even change the way it is celebrated.
It is readily apparent people no longer have a preference for the truth in anything. We have the king of liars as President while we beggar ourselves celebrating a made up holiday and enjoy our hatred of everyone else while claiming to love a man who preached peace and tolerance. Maybe that is why such a beautiful December day is so depressing to me. Just keeps reminding me how much I despise hypocrites and stupid people.
