Wednesday's wishes

Today was relatively productive given that I didn't even leave the building. The weather continued to be cold and dank and rainy luckily no snow or rain fell today it just looked like it might at any given time. I almost went to a movie today but I had a lunch appointment with one of my old work colleagues who comes over for lunch every couple weeks these days which is interesting. He usually brings over prepared lunches usually from local vendor the last couple of lunches have been Chinese which is always good for me. I enjoy Chinese usually in any form food wise. We get together commiserate talk about family and usually the political condition that we find ourselves in these days. Since we've both been state employees a large part of our funding source comes from the pension we get from the state of Utah- - might want to correct that my money comes that way he actually has money in different sources. He's smart and had a high paying job Within State service and they've been there for a while. I don't know what his stocks and bonds and things of that nature look like probably pretty good since everybody else in the world did well except me in that area I didn't do anything of course I just blindly wandered through my life hoping to be taken care of. I don't know if that's going to hold true now that all the supports on Earth seem to be getting a little bit wobbly and questionable. The writing on the wall seems to become more and more indelible or dark. More and more people who are on pensions as well as Federal programs will be more and more fragile financially speaking possibly to the point where they're fundings streams dry up completely. There is a news article on one of the networks the other night of a young lad with cancer who's insurance for one reason or another has been cut off and that little ad now is looking at sure death if he can't get his super expensive medications. Everyone just sort of shrugged his shoulders during the interview. They'll be kicked aside by their insurance provider when the insurance provider disappears for lack of funding and silently bid there to son ado and goodbye. This sounds familiar I'm sure I may have written about it before I have thought about it a lot since I realized how this scenario might play out once the major funding sources begin to get cut and now it's happening. I just hope I have what it takes to survive such a scenario. I think I will all things considered I tend to get by or have up until now. This of course is me just whistling in the dark. I used to fancy myself a great Whistler but as I've gotten older I haven't been able to pucker my lips as well as I used to and my whistles will become shrill and in many cases non-productive. My whistles have become much like the new Captain America Hollow and nothing like they once were. I just have to get used to things the way they are now and hopefully be amenable to quick and drastic change
