Bear with me. I need to vent and ramble a bit.  Try not to take this hissy fit entry too seriously….

Life seems to be full of disappointments.  

I had such hopes for my tomatoes. The summer heat has wilted what flowers and leaves there were, ‘baking’ the plants to nothing. I discovered the two tomatoes surviving in the garden plot have been devoured by catapillers.  I found four of them; they have eaten the plants down to stubble.  The melons are are also a disappointment. The vines are turning yellow – what melons there were rotted.   I should give up this hobby and face facts; I can’t grow things here.

 

Today was time for my measurements at the gym. After 3 months of 3x a week work outs, all my stats are EXACTLY THE SAME.  Weight, body fat %, and all limb circumferences are unaltered. Oh, one thing is a bit different – my abdomen is larger by half an inch.  So much time and money spent.  I thought I was ‘bulking up’ but measurements don’t support this.   

 

At work there are a series of disappointments as well. I am tired of trying to do the impossible for the ungrateful. 

Saving money for retirement has only caused me to loose it all with the economy. 

Recent attempts to locate old colleagues got one person to respond.  

 

Intellectually I know that Life is generally a series of disappointments. I suppose it stings so this evening as I put so much work and hopes in things.

There.

I am done.

Time to go to bed and try again tomorrow.
