Mood Blues

Hello folks, how's it going. Fine I hope. Yesterday was a pretty busy day as I spent it with mom and brother. We spent the day hiking some of the Sandia Mountains. We hiked from the overlook parking lot to the tram. From both places, the view is simply spectacular!

Here comes the tram. It's the longest tram in the world.

And what do you know, a bunch of communication antennas are located up here too. I wonder why?

It was a good day, but long. And mom survived the hike! What a trooper! We took frequent breaks as needed, but still, the fact still stands. Go Mom!

Needless to say, it was late night eating supper. We chose a new Chinese restaurant we've never been to just because it was getting so late (around 7:30 or so when we hit town). Really good place. Good review from us all.

I went out a bit eeeeaarly this morning to see if I could see anything of the meteor shower that is going on. Did see some stuff. Not as many as I'd hoped for, but then again, I was still in the city limits. Not that the city lights are going to affect my view . . . or maybe, maybe not? Wait?

Anyways, the mood as mentioned in the title of this post deals with how I've felt all day so far. I enjoyed my time out with the stars, but just can't explain today's mood swing. Here's were it is going. It deals with what things in life make us feel depressed and / or inadequate. When your poor, things like what's for dinner, how am I going to pay next months rent are the things that consume you and your emotional state. As your wealth expands, other things take over as you don't have basic necessities to worry about. Perhaps your educational level, personal relationships, or how you stack up against your co-workers, and then there's feeling inadequate about the shit your own. Well then we move up the wealth scale and what do we have then? Oh yeah! I'm a peon because I don't own a 6000 sq ft home and I can only take two three week vacations to Europe a year.

Well, that's the mood I'm in for some reason. Can't explain it. So I've got to go now. I'm headed back up to moms place to take advantage of free laundry facilities, try to fix some aging living room chairs where the chair spring supports are failing, and then finally get around to doing the gift opening thing with my brother. Super will be home made vegan enchilada's. And of course on the way will be a few consumer based pit stops. Bye bye.
