Trying to chill.....


God, you'd think I could find more joy today. I did, in fact have a relatively good day. I am a hairdresser, and I got a new referal and honey, this lady had been FRIED by someone. I do admit that I am in my element doing haircolor, my Podunk friend will swear to it. I made that Lady so happy she gave me a 60% tip. That happens...... NEVER! I could barely believe my eyes!! But life in my neighborhood ain't real great right now. we have the junk car collector, who now parks his crap in front of MY house because of previous altercation (see homeland security post) so I come home to a line of beater cars in front of my house. Now I want to move, and I start feeling like maybe Bonnie should just stay in them thar hills and I'll go live with her. I should be overjoyed that she is coming back, but I keep thinking that the humanity here is getting uglier and uglier, and I feel myself slipping down there with them. It's like I feel the mean people backing me into a corner and I want out. I want to know, from anyone reading this blog.... Are folks allover getting mean and just plain discourteous? Is there anywhere where people , stand back and let you go first, or maybe smile and say thank you?? With the recent goings on in my neighborhood, I now am beginning to hate where I live. I'm in a "I gotta get outta here before I get like them" frame of mind.
You would think, after the compliments and smiles I got from that one lady, that I would be satisfied enough. I dont get it. I think I should maybe put on a relaxation CD and practice my Tai Chi.
