It is rather cold and windy outside and my allergies are up in arms over it.

This year I get to pay both Federal and State taxes. Most years I break even or get money back. Not this year. ! + @ ) # * $ ( % & ^ | } : furloughs.
So much for being good today it’s like I am not even trying anymore.

So the question of the day is, “What is the depressions purpose?” Everything has a purpose in life. What is its purpose? Attention? Get out of work? Get out of interacting with people? Get out of interacting with the world?

Thank you God for being there and having my back. A concept that I really like and need in my life. This in no way takes away the responsibility for my behavior. It is more in the way of a no pressure clause.

This is Easter weekend. I plan to drive out to Dad’s on Saturday and visit. Do a little cleaning. I look forward to go out there. Not a scary thing anymore.

Late Wednesday night, the Arizona Department of Education and Fishing decreed the changes, starting May 1, to help shave millions of dollars off the state budget. Based on the first letter of their last names, some students will go to class on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, others on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
"It's going to be very hard," said one mother, noting she must find care for her children on the days they're off. "I don't even know if I can afford to work any more. It's going to get so bad."
Another lamented, "It will probably cost me a couple-thousand extra dollars a month because I have all-day care. It will be all-day care, it won't be after-school care, it will be all-day care."
"They told us kids whose last names begin with the letters A through L are going to go to school Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays," Driver said. "M through Z is going to go Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays."
Another representative, Tex Bookman, is frustrated his organization did not have a say in the matter.
"It's just like the Legislature to push something like this through in the middle of the night," he said.
To save additional money, the state will be closing 15 percent of schools in order to consolidate resources. Bookman is concerned, though, about what the changes will do to teachers, students and parents.
"This is nuts," he said of the new schedule.
However, former state school superintendent Lisa Keegan is excited about what this means for teachers and students.
"I really think it's going to be positive," she said.
Chuck Board with the Arizona Department of Education and Fishing said the changes are a great use of the state's tax dollars.
"This is a progressive program," he said.

I feel like shit (emotionally) and do not want to be at work or do anything. I have to stay because this is my phone day. I have no money (and neither do you.) I keep telling God that I have had enough of being poor but He continues to withhold the winning lottery numbers. And I'm not sure that God really exists anymore or at least not in the way that most people assume. Organized religion is just a way to control the vast majority of people.

Today I started using because I felt that I wasn’t worth the effort to stop. After that it didn’t matter and I continued to use. When I got home from work I used because I found some just sitting there.
