Taking Care

I need to take better care of myself. I need to do things I enjoy and i need to do them just for me. I need to get back to feeding my brain something other than junk food. I need to read and I need to write, both every day. I need to make time to do laundry, buy groceries I like, and do my hair and nails. I want to feel better, and that's going to require being nice to myself.

Today I saw a guy digging through my dumpster. He had a really long dreadlocked beard and he wore a promotional baseball cap. He wheeled a shopping cart up to the dumpster and started rooting around for salvageable things to put in the cart. I briefly regretted my obsession with recycling, as it left him with little to find. My earth-saving habits are hurting the homeless.

Man, there's always something.
