Okay, if the mind is powerful, how is your mind making you feel today? It's worth thinking about -- with the stock market down this year, every day worse than the last, many of us are losing lots of money, I know I am, and it's not a good feeling.  I keep arguing with myself, even though I'm losing money at a huge rate, I'm still in good shape financially, I have a nice house, I can pay the bills. But it doesn't help. Inside I feel unsettled, poor, I'm having trouble concentrating. Does it help that I've been through this before? The crash of 1987 was much worse than this downturn, and then I had no cushion, nothing to fall back on, I wasn't even employed when it happened. I was a lot closer to being broke around the turn of the century, even though the market was doing very well. But it doesn't help. No matter how many times I've been through it, I've always known that it's cyclic, that the outlook will likely improve, but knowing isn't the same as feeling. The feeling is much stronger, it can't be counteracted with logic. I can't reason with the feeling, you might say it's un-reasonable. Then I heard that a friend of mine, much younger, with a lot less at stake in the market, is having trouble sleeping because of this feeling. I realize I'm not alone, probably millions of people have a heightened sense of insecurity right now. Does that make it better? Not really... Anyway, I thought, let's post something and find out how others feel about the economy and how much of an impact is it having on our state of mind.

I know I used to have an account here, but like so many things I have no idea what it is. &nbsp;Damn brain sugery... Being awake for brain sugery is interesting but not fun. &nbsp;Actually I'd describe it as terrifing. &nbsp;But I'm getting ahead of myself. &nbsp;On my first Thanksgiving away from home I had three episodes of numbness on my right side that lasted about five minutes and were spaced about half an hour appart. &nbsp;I thougt nothing of it until a week later when it happend agian. &nbsp;Went to school clinic, they sent me to get a CT scan. &nbsp;Later that afternoon they wanted me to go for an MRI first thing in the morning, so I did and the tech seemed concerned. &nbsp;Later that evening I went to happy hour as I often do Friday nights with my freinds. &nbsp;Before I got a quarter into my first beer I got a call from the clinic telling me to come in as soon as possible. &nbsp;So much for beer...

Feeling much better today. Health is beginning to return. I owe it all to patience, lots of sleeping, drinking fluids, and not trying to be healthy before I actually am. Today I'm going to take a 20 minute easy walk in the sun.  Watching General Petreus testify today. The Dems are very polite. Sorry I still think we should get the hell out of Iraq. I don't think any more Americans should die there.  Elizabeth Dole is speaking now.

Can't sleep. Dried sinuses are nature's way of making you suffer needlessly. You can only struggle so long before beginning to question the fundamentals. Of course, those are stupid questions, so instead you get out bed, rip music from a very old computer game, and question the nature of the online forum.  Yes, I write in a highly unnecessary narrative voice. Fuck you too.
