<<<SC>>>

So far a rough morning because of the anniversary. The clouds are hazy and it may rain. Gotta' shake the funk.

The first thing I put in my gratefulness journal this morning:
I survived one year post-bomb. Yes, I'm grateful for this. I hate that the bomb happened, but I am stronger and continue to grow. That is never a bad thing.

If I can do it, I'm going to go fishing today. Maybe between rain storms.

I also start studying in earnest for my civil service exam today. I found some old study guides in the local college library. Tomorrow I am going to another college library that is supposed to have more current study guides. (The state/county didn't provide a study guide for this exam, so I'm trying to use whatever I can get my hands on to prepare for it.)

My son may come to finish my storage room in the basement. (Very slow progress there. It should have been a 2 or 3 day job at most. Don't ask. Just picture a sleepy 20 year old that stays up late, sleeps in, then shows up with little motivation.)

I'm also going to make some cookies. I love to bake and it will keep me busy.
