Yesterday was an absolute disaster. I hardly got anything done & it sure wasn't from lack of trying. Today will be different ... I got up (super early for me) & I'm all alone. There's NO ONE here but me. What does that mean? Peace & productivity!!! I will rule the day! That's a good thing because I have yesterday AND today to do today. I managed to at least list ONE item on eBay, but I couldn't learn any new skills, I couldn't get to class, I couldn't tend to the garden ... it was a horrible waste of a day. :( City Council meeting / LCFD BBQ / Maintenance on Tuesday.

In 1735, British poet Alexander Pope lamented, in rhyme, being besieged by "a parson much bemus'd in beer." The cleric in question was apparently one of a horde of would-be poets who plagued Pope with requests that he read their verses. pope meant the parson had found his inspiration - his muse - in beer. That sense of "bemus'd" harks back to a 1705 letter in which Pope wrote of "Poets ... irrecoverably Be-mus'd." In both letter & poem, Pope used "bemused" to refer to being inspired by or devoted to one of the Muses, the Greek sister goddesses of art, music, & literature. The lexicographers who followed him, however, interpreted "bemus'd in beer" as meaning "left confused by beer," & their confusion gave rise to the modern sense of "bemused."
Emotion is a key element to getting out of debt & staying out of debt. You've got to get steaming mad at debt & attack it with a vengeance. Really let it sink in, & think about how many times this debt has negatively impacted your life. Think about all the important stuff, all the great stuff, & all the fun stuff you could have done with that money!
