I obtained a tracball mouse at the free store this a.m., plus 2 pair shoes and other clothing items, and couple for some for my sister.

And I am just plain in a mostly good mood.

I just accidentally clicked on this a minute ago:

Just interesting. A thought going through my head this week is "a little money, and a room of one's own": Virginia Woolf I believe.

I hope the mouse works, I have a friend's old computer, and would like to get it to run decently, would like to use one at home.

This is funny--relative to the post about not wanting to get too close to people, someone made a prompt post at embodiment asking respondants to write "five steps someone could follow to get to know the real you". I replied saying, "I am not sure I want people to know me! Right now I am not friending people since I tend to drive them off if they get close to me. Lol, so no steps for now!!!!!"

She replied, "Maybe you should write steps on how to prevent people from getting to know you :)".

Not a bad idea. I think the problem is I just don't have much in the way of boundaries. In gerneral that's it, but I guess I really need work on that.

But this is a good laugh.

I have some kind of family get together tonight, obviously going to be about cleaning up, getting the house in shape. I hope that's all, it probably is.
