Attitude? Action? Dusting and Traveling.

I don't always have a bright outlook on life. Certainly my attitude sucks. I can be an emotional sponge so the last three years have been awful. There's nothing I can do about the insanity of political leaders except vote or protest (I don't have energy nor interest in protesting). So my attitude about that shakes under dark clouds.

Speaking of which, it's raining. I love mist and fog in Spring and Summer, but this is cold rain. I'd rather see snow. It's 1 degree above freezing.

I so need to get out-of-here! Yes, I could go out. I went out once today and will go out once tomorrow. On Wednesday the grocery store may be open so that's a possible walk.

I walk more when it's between 10º and 25º when it's not pouring rain.

So... cue Taiwan.

I struggled last night with bad nerves and not feeling well due to the late hour. And then there were issues on-line with Delta. $3,000 for a ticket that shows as $700 at google flights? Ouch. Made other arrangements to get the price where it should be... but sucky flights.

I'll need to get over my attitude soon! There's so much to look forward to. I'll need to send personal messages to everyone connected to Taiwan. I hope to see some folks like I did last time.

Re dusting... Robert did a blog about Hoover and vacuum cleaners... I don't dust. I should. Lord knows this place isn't picking up after itself. I've barely lifted a finger in two months other than wash dishes and wash clothes.

I try not to make messes when I stay in hostels. I appreciate that the toilets and rooms are being cleaned daily. No... I don't make up my bed but that's not an issue. I want others to know that the bed is MINE!

When I lived in Costa Rica I had very few things other than clothes, little clutter other than plants. I swept and mopped every day. One has to.

But here? Don't ask.

It will be so nice to close the door on my clutter when I leave... soon... January 14th.
