One of these days

FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE,  STUPID!

Weird day.

Got a clean bill of health at the cardiologist in my follow up appointment following my ablation.   Everything looked good.   Plus I've lost another 5 pounds.  And that's after a holiday season of eating nothing but a 4lb. Bag of Sugar and a block of cheddar daily. 

Finished Candice Millard's Destiny of the Republic,  about the swirling destinies of Charles Guiteau and President James Garfield.   Shyam and I watched Death by Lightning,  based on Millard's book,  and found it excellent.  Her book is better.   Really enjoyed. 

So basically a good day. 

Maybe really good,  because there's a chance Shyam and I stopped ourselves from being taken.   

I'm kinda in the market for a new vehicle.   I've been driving my Camry for 12 years now,  and it's sniffing at 300,000 miles.   Is getting the job done,  and I think we'll hang on to it,  but we'd like to find something that's a little more useful for work. 

Got a hint about a car for sale.   Low mileage.  Older owner. 

But,  in communicating with the family member selling,  not quite red flags started blowing in the breeze.... which were ignorable until they brought out the red flag in needing a down payment to hold it until they got back into town Wednesday.  

I dunno.   Just disappointed.   Maybe in myself.   I'm 48, and I should know that if it's too good to be true,  it is. 

But,  we aren't out any money.   So,  that's good....

C'mon, Tommy.  You pretentious fuck.   You didn't fall for a scam!  Be positive,  stupid!
