Life of Pol

Over the past week, I've been trying to watch less news. It seems there are more and more horrible things that are happening each day, that is very discouraging to see each time I turn on the television. But my problem is, I'm addicted to watching the weather (thank the Serpeneteens for that). I love seeing what's going on around the country as winter settles in. So, I'm trying to work in both: being able to see what's going on with the weather, while at the same time, not losing too much hope for humanity. This didn't work out too well yesterday when, once again, there was another mass shooting! It's so sad. What the fuck is going on with the world? Is humanity that far gone? Is there any hope that the world will get better, or have we passed the point of no return? Hopefully, there are enough good people around to tip the scales back to where they belong. 

It seems, even when I have every intention of posting more on this blog, things happen and I'm not able. I'm not even sure, at the end of this post, that I'll be able to upload it, but we'll see. Anyway, things have not been going the way you might think, in the life of a retired person. I've been working. Yes, I got a job. It's only a part-time job, but it's working in a restaurant, and it's hard. But I'm doing it to assist with the down payment for our forever home. We will close on February 1st! But other than working, I haven't been doing much. I haven't the energy most days. All writing and wood burning projects are on hold until life settles down again. I'm sure the world will survive. We had our first blizzard the other day. It was interesting. Unfortunately, Steve had to drive down to the Springs for work in the middle of it. I'm off today, and Steve, Buster, and I are going to drive up to our new home ( it's 1,200 feet hi...

I've been trying to rectify my blog problems. Google and my new internet service have not played well together. 

I'm starting a new piece today. Steve and I are trying to get the downpayment for a house A.S.A.P.  so I gotta crank them out. This is the sanding process. Kind of fun. 

Pol's Life-The New Chapter: Bear day : I thought, once I'd moved to Colorado, I would be writing all day, every day! But I didn't take into consideration days like today...

I thought, once I'd moved to Colorado, I would be writing all day, every day! But I didn't take into consideration days like today. I haven't done shit all day because I've been outside watching a bear sit in a tree. As weird as that may sound, it's been one of the coolest days I've had in a long time. This poor guy's been sitting in the tree at our apartments all day. The wildlife wardens have been here watching him. They wouldn't allow him to come down until it got dark and there were less people around. He tried to get as comfortable as possible, but it was still a tree. I've thanked God several times today for allowing us to live in a place so amazing, bears are your day's enjoyment.
