feels like a gorgeous day out there. warm and very sunny. will try to get out before i have to go in tonight. it is awesome that i can drive and that it is only approx. 20-25 minutes away. i don't have to leave home so early, can stay on a better medication schedule for my heart disease kitty, and i don't have to ride the subway which seems to be filled with heartless folks. i mean, when you see someone standing that looks like they are in their 80's, it's only right to let them have your seat... the rudeness, the competition just to get on the train first and get a seat is ridiculous. it's the same when exiting or entering the subway. some dumbass girl in a hurry decided that she was unhappy i was in front of her going up the stairs, so she hits my knapsack...
what entitles people to behave in this way? what goes on in their head that makes them think it is okay and that they aren't picking on someone with a loose screw that will blow their head off? but then again, what is it that we see on the news? everywhere you look, there are prime examples of people behaving badly. rude, obnoxious, entitled, and self-absorbed. heck i've seen it in this damned diary.
idiots who think they can leave dumbass comments and get away with it. i'm glad i have the option to ban/delete. too bad there isn't some great big button in the sky to erase, the many idiots out there who think everything revolves around them.

so, where is franny heading? what is in store for her? sometimes, i just don't want to think about it. i know i'll never really be able to retire. what will it be like living on my own when i'm in my 60's - 70's...how long before i won't be able to drive anymore? how long before i'll be at the mercy of younger, stronger folks out there who'll try to take advantage of me? will i stay in the big bad city or move to a senior friendly state?
i worry about growing old alone...mostly for my safety. i guess the key is to stay active. keep moving. keep my mind working by reading, writing, doing...

ah, the stones' wild horses is on. classic song. love it.
i could be doing worse, at least i have a job, an apartment i can afford, a car that i own (no more payments), and my family nearby. it's a beautiful day out there, and so i'm heading out to enjoy some of it...
ciao!
