Motivational Monday: Dear Poet 999

Dear Poet 999, 

This year has started out rather slowly and, I think, that's because New Year's Day fell on a Sunday. Almost everything is closed today which means we were unable to pick up any food at any of the Food Banks today. Almost everything, with the exception of some of the drug stores, gas stations, restaurants, grocery stores, and casinos were closed today. 

I am grateful that the CVS Pharmacy was open because I need some personal items. I'm also grateful that my Social Security money hit my checking account on Saturday because I was able to pay the Cable/Internet bill earlier than I thought. Now I don't have to worry about that until about January 18. I got a $2.00 raise in my Social Security this year, which will help a little bit. However, I have my license plate, power bill (it's a lot higher then it was in December), the smog test, and the Internet bill to pay. Needless to say I don't have enough for everything. I haven't even mentioned the co-pays I have coming up. 

I have two co-pays coming up next week. I think I'll get the smog test and then figure out where the money for the tag is coming from. I know there isn't use in worrying because worry doesn't help solve the problem. Part of the problem would be solve with less money going out, but since that isn't possible or, at least, I don't think it's possible, I'm going to have to figure out another way. I need to move to a cheaper place (if I can find one) and I think cut out the cable television and just keep the internet. That means I won't have any television until I purchase the attachment for my present T.V., but sacrifices have to be made.

Motivation Monday: Monday Morning Motivation

Kamal (Perfection), 2 Bahá (Splendour), 173 BE - Monday, March 21, 2016 about 7:25 AM Pacific Daylight Time

It's a beautiful Monday morning here in Las Vegas. The pigeons are cooing and a dog is yelping. It appears that the warm spring weather has made the birds happy and motivated them to spread their morning cheer to the neighborhood. The weather didn't motivate the dog's happiness, but it's possible the dog either wanted someone to let him out of his apartment or into it. The way animal and other noises echo in this neighborhood I can't tell where the dog was when he was yelping. He finally stopped so apparently he got whatever it was he wanted.

Spring is in the air
Scattering pollen sneezing
and warmer weather

I haven't opened the blinds or the door yet to check if the wind is blowing in my neighborhood. I don't thin very many people are up because the only noises I hear are animal noise. I don't even hear the neighbor playing music which is good because I'm not motivated to list to his favorite singers this morning.

Morning motivation
To take my medication
And then make myself stay up.

The only thing I was motivated to do was get up and take my medication. Since I'm up I'm not going to lay back down. So I need to accomplish something this morning. I'm going to post this and then see what else I can accomplish before breakfast.
