This Is Exhausting

Revelation (for the … zillionth time?): We live in an uncertain world. That I have been living hand to mouth and getting by is a miracle of luck and statistics. But this cannot go on forever. It’s been good, but it’s time to buckle down. Real talk, Logan: You have not prepared for any outcome. Broken ankle? Unprepared. End of the internet? Unprepared. Someone leaving a baby on your doorstep with a letter that they want you to raise it? Unprepared. Anything at all to happen other than things just keep on working out? Unprepared.

I need to save every dollar I have and make more dollars and Figure This Stuff Out. Like seriously. I can’t believe I’ve spent so much money on so much crap. Bygones, though. Forgiveness. I absolve myself of that. But from now on, it’s got to be on. Black beans and rice. And not cans of black beans either. The dried kind. That you have to soak. This is real. I need to be prepared. I’ve got to take care of myself. This is happening. Everything is going to change. This is the start of a new me. Resolved.

Oh wow this restaurant sounds great and exactly my kind of place and I can’t wait to go and I wonder if I should add it to the list of places I want to go or if it’s finally time to make that google map of all the restaurants I want to go to? I’ll think on that. But soup, yes, soon, calendaring. $19.95 for atmosphere, dinner, wine, full meal, done. Thanks for the tip. Sure glad I found this.
