Five & Dime

MommaK has asked her readers to take part in her “Five & Dime” game:

5 things I’m thrilled about at the moment and 5 things that are pissing me off:

~ I’m thrilled at having met a fellow composer. We’ve passed a lot of email lately and have spoken on the phone a number of times. He’s a gifted artist and he has an uncanny understanding of me and my work.

~ I’m thrilled that my energy level is pretty nearly back to normal. Now, I feel ten years younger rather than ten years older.

~ I’m thrilled that Jet is back to his old energetic self, too.

~ Mozartballs is about to be released and is playing all over the world. Presently, it’s in Tel-Aviv.

~ My family and friends are the best. This is what life’s really about. These provide a connection with humanity that we find nowhere else. I feel sorry (not in the pitying way, but in the most compassionate way) for people who have no friends and/or family. Life must be exceedingly hard without friends and family.

***

~ I’m really getting impatient about my financial situation. I used to worry, now I’m just pissed off.

~ I’m mad that John and Graham have had so much trouble closing on their house.

~ I’ve just about had it with my newly-acquired allergies, especially the ongoing eye crapola.

~ I’m pissed that Monty can’t get out more often, just to have a little fun.

~ I don’t understand how some people can be so nasty and petty and carry a grudge around for so long when there’s so much good in the world to focus on.
