World MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Day [am I showing my age that when I saw MS I immediately thought of how controversial the substitution of MS was for Miss or Mrs?]
In 567 BC Servius Tullius, the king of Rome, celebrated a triumph for his victory over the Etruscans. In 240 BC was the first recorded perihelion passage of Halley's Comet -- Chinese astronomers recorded its passage in the Shih Chi and Wen Hsien Thung Khao chronicles. In 1738 Pennsylvania and Maryland ended the Conojocular War with settlement of a boundary dispute and exchange of prisoners, creating the Mason-Dixon line. (( Yankees consider anyone living south of that line [including Marylanders] to be Southerners, but the South disagrees most emphatically)) In 1961 John F. Kennedy announced before a special joint session of the Congress his goal to initiate a project to put a "man on the Moon" before the end of the decade.. In 1977 Star Wars was released in theaters.
Half-way through the work week and the slide into the holiday weekend has begun. Traffic was a mess this morning as too many folks apparently decide that they are going to get out of town early all at the same time. My personal sense of fugue continues – or maybe it is just a case of the post-vacation blahs. I have tickets for Balticon50, but probably won’t go – seems ridiculous but I have never made it to this well known, fan run con in all the years it has been in Baltimore! But despite having bought a four-day pass months ago, this weekend doesn’t seem to be working out: I have work on Friday, my family dinner on Saturday, helping Kit on Sunday, and that leaves Monday to rest and get ready for another EOM. Truth be told, in this kind of mood? It all just seems like more trouble than it is worth [now I had no idea that was a colloquial expression!].
*sighs* I can’t even self-medicate with comfort food, cannot indulge in breads, cookies, or hot fudge sundaes to raise my spirits without feeling guilty about my weight and blood sugar, which negates the “comfort”. I want to resign from “real life” I want to win the lottery and spend my time traveling. I want to stay in my 2nd Life – reading, dancing, shopping, killing demons, wandering -- whatever. I want to do is move to Florida and work for the House of the Mouse, since work I must. Never mind the family ties, never mind not having a job to go to, never mind not having any plan for long-term care should I need it, never mind the bills – all magic comes with a price, dearie….. Of course I won’t do any of those things. Instead I’ll keep going on, one day at a time and keep dreaming wistfully.
