The Death Star Wasn't Rebuilt In A Day and Baby Eggplants

3 weeks of unemployment and all I have to show for it is, well, this seat cushion with pinpoint posterior shaping...

Still, I cannot complain though. I have a roof over my head, food to eat, a car to get me far away enough out of the house so that I still feel like a functional member of society, my health, my friends, and possibilities. Remaining positive will remain a challenge with every extra day being unemployed and I just have to keep reminding myself that Rome wasn't built in a day and the Death Star was not rebuilt...well, in a day either. You take your hits, you dust yourself off, you look around, establish your bearings, and then keep walking, head held high. There seems to be a lot of doubt and negativity in large quantities these days and with good reason. A lot of people are expecting the worst. To many, it looks like end times. To me, it appears that anything can happen. I've always been the one to believe only when I've seen something with my own eyes. Experts aren't always right. So, despite all that is now taking place, I say, "it can always be worse. Always."

In other news, my sister is expected to give birth any day now. Since it is her first, there is a ton of anticipation amongst everyone in the fam. So much, that it just seems that that baby is taking her sweet ass time being born. So, to hopefully speed up the process for my sister and her unborn child, I have vouched to leave a baby eggplant on her doorstep every day until she finally cranks that thing out. In case you didn't know, eggplants are speculated to help speed up the birthing process in the final days of pregnancy.

Any...day...now...............
