Aging has it’s privileges, unless you are female it seems. Then you just become invisible. I don’t mind being invisible so much, but I would like to have a job. Another day without work and a pass from another prospect. That and the coming change in leadership in this country makes me feel quite invisible. I don’t mind except I’m feeling quite useless at the moment. That is frustrating; not having direction. Health setbacks haven’t helped. The elbow injury and surgery last year and the broken hand this year. Life it proving fragile. My ego can only take so much.
Now I can’t sleep and really need something fun. I have a lot of work in front of me. The question though for me is work for what? I think the recent election may be where I find my motivation. We shall see.
You used to be so amused,
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used,
Go to him now, he calls you, you can’t refuse.
When you ain’t got nothing, you got nothing to lose.
You’re invisible now, you’ve got no secrets to conceal.
How does it feel, ah how does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone
(Sorry, I watched “A Complete Unknown” this week. Fantastic film. It made me think of you.)
