On the advice of a friend I decided to try this out. Things have been very busy for me lately and even though it's the dead of winter Farmer Dan has been hatching lots of new things out in God's country. So let's give this a go!
1. I am seriously considering starting a pharmacy in the great town of Stewart with my wife. Whether or not it is a good idea is something I really don't know. I've know of a few pharmacists who have lost their jobs and this would be one way that I would be the one who would be in more control of the situation. Also it would be fun.
2. My life is full of ideas that are amazing and for the most part I either jump in with both feet or forget about it after a week. Also they usually are a lot less work if it's the right thing.
3. I am question how good of a parent I am sometimes - I feel like I yell all the time at my boys who yell all the time. It's the whole problem of do as I say and not as I do.
4. I think I need to get more sleep - I have a hard time waking up in the morning, but my problem is that nights are when I feel most productive and am able to accomplish things - like last night I finished up and filed my taxes.
5. I need to do more exciting things on weekends besides taxes.
6. My truck is currently in the shop and getting about 1200$ in repairs done to it. Brakes, axle bearings and one new axle, oxygen sensor, fuel filter, oil change. Do I fix all this then get a new truck or settle on the fact that I have a 10 year old truck that takes about 800 dollars a year to keep in good running order as opposed to buying a new or upgrade truck and being out all that money for something that will still likely need work now and then.
7. The winter here is starting to get long and even though I am starting to tire of moving snow every time the wind blows - I still enjoy the clean whiteness of everything. I am not crazy however and am still look forward to the green spring.
8. I am still struggling making lasting changes in my life - for example I haven't been able to stay away from chewing tobacco or pop. I want to change other things to that I'm not going to get into right now, but it seems like the more effort I put into changing the worse I get.
9. I feel like I should do more with my friends, but the problem is that a lot of them don't live anywhere near me and it would involve driving and then I wouldn't be at home. Maybe I need to get some friends who live closer to me.
10. I don't know what the future will bring in a lot of ways, this is sort of scary to me, but at the same time it's a very good thing since it means that the future is essentially just a blank slate.
That's what's on my mind - no more musing for tonight...
