It occurs to me, as I advise Kay to beware of paralysis by analysis, that I told her a little bit ago that I'd start writing again if she would; and she started up again awhile ago.
I am conscious of a degree of hopelessness in terms of seeing significant improvement in the state of the Union, and of a lack of any optimism at all about the State of California. I am conscious of some level of anxiety about the change in my personal situation from employed to 'retired' and my impending move away from California. Having said all that, I really can't say why I stopped writing. (I am bitterly disappointed that we appear to be letting the opportunity to enact universal health coverage get away from us, but I don't think that alone was the issue.)
It has occurred to me that I write about politics, etc., because it's easy to identify the issues and potential solutions. I seldom write about what's going on with myself because I don't believe I'm that interesting in the first place and I tend to deny the issues anyway. I confess that I was concerned about losing 30-some pounds over a six-month period, but that seems to be due to ulcerative colitis which apparently will aggravate me for the duration but won't kill me - much like that big honking clot in my right leg.
I have resigned from my job as of last week, and I expect to leave California in my rear-view mirror within six weeks. In a sense then the hard part is over because without a job I can't afford to stay in California anyway. I'm committed, and it's just a matter of getting up onto I-40 and aiming the vehicle east.

Well good for Kay getting you to write again. Good luck with your transition and I hope you continue writing whatever it is that interests you. You might be surprised to find it interests other people also.
That's right -- blame me!!!!! LOL -- just kidding!!!
So where are you heading? Anywhere near me so we can sit down and chat? Just remember, if you're in Ohio and don't call, I will track you down!!!! LOL
Kay did well! Do let us know where you are and what you are doing. (That it took me so long to see this posting is a testament to how long it's been since my visits were rewarded by finding a new posting!) ; )
Cop Car
P.S. Yes, I care about your "political" postings, but I also care about what you are experiencing.
It's the same for me, interested in it all, keep writing and good luck with your move which is to where?
