			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When last I posted, almost two week ago, I was heading up north to Traverse City to visit my cousin.  I promised updates, and even though they&#8217;re not timely, updates you shall have!  The drive up was insane, I&#8217;d only made it twice before, so was pretty unfamiliar with it, especially in the dark&#8230;. and adding in several back road detours with a poor showing of signs informing of what way to go, really didn&#8217;t help.  Neither did the freak blizzard.  Visibility was BAD, at a time of year when the deer tend to move around.  I made it there safe however.  It was very nice and welcome, to just have several days where I didn&#8217;t really worry about anything.  We had amazing coffee (one of his roommates works at a coffee bean roasting shop), great food, and ended up playing a lot of games and just hanging out.  I know, not an exciting update, but that really was about the extent of it.  One day I took a walk down to the beach on Grand Traverse Bay, and sat there watching the waves and writing poetry.  That was nice.  Very zen.</p>
<p>Anyways, it&#8217;s much later now, and I&#8217;ve been home for quite some time.  Been rather difficult here lately, dealing with bills and a pretty noticeable lack of money with which to pay them.  Been COLD too.  I think yesterday, with windchill, we got down to -4F.  Not fun.  Been trying to stay warm and start organizing the house and getting rid of all the clutter that never gets used, looked at, or remembered.  Took some time to reconnect with my neighbor next door, we teamed up on shoveling the first major snowfall, and then chilled out with some coffee over at his place.  He&#8217;s a great neighbor, a real friendly guy, and I really enjoy his company.</p>
<p>Other than that&#8230; hmmm.  The job hunt continues, and while waiting I&#8217;ve been playing more games.  The boredom is definitely looming and threatening.  I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s the unemployment that sucks as much as not having money to do all the things I wish I could be doing.  Even gas costs money to drive places, and I&#8217;m conserving HARD.  Making more bread from scratch, cooking more large meals.  My dad has harvested numerous deer this season, and is helping to keep my freezer full of meat, and I still have several filets of salmon from my fishing trip this summer.  Thankfully, this leaves me with vegetables to buy, which are cheap.</p>
<p>Ok, rambly ramble rambling.  Blah blah blah.  I&#8217;ve been pretty dry in the old brain-well, not really sure what to write about lately.  Going to wrap this up, and wish you all a happy weekend!</p>
