The 59th Street Bridge Song (aka Feeling Groovy)

 Despite not getting a lot of sleep last night, I'm feeling pretty good today. I may be a little stiff and sore, but I didn't wake up feeling tired for the first time in weeks, and I didn't need to take a nap in the afternoon.  I'll try to hit the gym later tonight, and I may need to ask the Y if there's anything more they can do to help me continue my membership. The housemate may have two good leads on potential jobs, and this will ease some of the financial problems in the house. I hope she follows up on both of them and doesn't wait for people to call her.  Her financial situation getting fixed is far more important than mine getting fixed at the moment.

I am aware of the shooting in California and I heard one report saying it took place at a center that provides services to adults with developmental disabilities.  I will catch up on this later, but I fear this will be another excuse to call for the warehousing of mentally ill people and calls to further restrict the rights of people who have mental illnesses and no history of violence.  

For now, I'm just going to wait for dinner to be prepared and listen to some Simon and Garfunkel. No point in not enjoying these times for as long as possible.
