It's 9 am and the sun still isn't up. This is just not normal. To me, there is something really great about waking up just before sunrise and going on a walk. Hardly anyone is up yet and I like going from silence to hearing the birds all singing. But 10 am sunrise? It just doesn't seem worth it. And the only birds I see around here lately are ravens, but they mostly just scavenge instead of sing. And they are the size of a cat or a small dog.

Yesterday I started learning how to use my new SLR camera. I quickly realized that even though I had used an SLR four years ago at a job, I really know nothing about how to use the Rebel! I felt like I was stumbling in a dark room looking for a light switch. I had a general idea where the switch was but I had to make sure not to trip over something or over shoot it and fall on my ass. There's a metaphor for you...

I started out taking random pictures of the dogs using the preset settings. And then I got tired all of a sudden and took a power nap (power nap is where is get tired all of a sudden and pass out for 5-10 minutes. This can happen anywhere at anytime). Today I'm going to dive through the Rebel for dummies book. Hopefully I won't need a power nap.

So I haven't taken my wellbutrin for a few days now, and I hadn't noticed any side effects until this morning. And it was a minor, "I feel a little crappy," to which I responded, "whatever, get over it." And that worked. I mean, how could I not feel a little crappy now and then, and especially now. Mostly because lately I have been having a lot of "WTF?" moments. To which, "whatever, get over it" also works. And even though there are those moments, I am happy right now. I don't have to be responsible to anyone else and I'm going to do things I have always put off (for lame reasons, of course).

Living in the Newark airport for eight months, when I wasn't flying on trips, is something that I always come back to when I wonder what is next. So my Tampa plans fell through and my plans to go to NC may not work either, but I'm not too worried about it. I have lived out of a suitcase before and until I figure out what's next, I can do that again. And waking up with the sunrise is even more fun if it is at a new place everyday.
