Sparkle and Fade

Well, I finally give in. I'm starting a blog, who knows if anyone will ever find it, but that is besides the point. I'm starting it so I can accurately and honestly journal my life. I suppose people's perceptions are their reality, so accuracy may be a bit quixotic, but honesty is feasible.
Also, this may give me a chance to use the vocabulary words I am learning thanks to Dictionary.com's "word of the day" emails. I have tried them out on my ventilated patients, but they just don't validate my efforts to be more intellectually inclined.
Admittedly, I also need another ongoing project to occupy my wandering mind and bored soul since Tim is never home when I am awake and Abe is not interested (or not allowed without some phony guide dog vest) to do a great number of things I may want to do. And that is part of the reason I got a dog anyway- so I had someone to spend my time with.
The whole concept of loneliness use to be foreign to me until recently. I use to be so fiercely independent- I am not quite sure when another's company became a necessity for me to leave the house, sad.
On that note, I am going to go by myself to Llyod Center for a much needed shopping trip- after all, it is Halloween and I am without costume. But stay posted for Halloween pics and further blogs... I'm sure my ambition to be independent will sparkle and fade and I will be home alone again, roaming the blog-o-sphere.
