no where near nirvana.....

ok,so this is an extra blog for today...and nowhere near the record of 10 blogs on june 16.....james joyce day...........yes...i must have been channeling stream of conciousness.......but...the dishes are done.....the porch is tidy.....what else can one do with one's time in this non-50's stepford wife era............in fact...at this very moment i am the only person home......though my youngest has left the televsion on........and the dishwasher is churning....lots of backround noise......we received an email today from a friend trying to get up a 2-week hiking trip through the french and swiss alps, maybe sometime next august.........a crack was made at supper about people making plans when they may not have a steady job...........it is only the prospect of not having a steady job that allows me to dream of doing such a trip.......nobody gives 2 weeks off these days..........especially in a row....it will only be possible if i am still subbing...or doing odd stuff..........and what is wrong with that if the bills are paid, and i have a decent ira/tax sheltered anuity account........
