Post Thanksgiving Thoughts

I am thankful for all that I have, and I take nothing for granted.
New job is okay on some levels and better than previous on most levels. Hard work at times, but I won't be doing it for too long given my position will change according to my co-workers saying it will. I didn't take it to be primarily a driving job, but it seems to be turning into such a gig. We shall see.
Car spent a month in the shop. Had a rental 31 days. Lucky damage was not of the totalling variety, but it was close. Insurance rates are roughly the same for next year, which seems weird considering the $7k in damage and rental fees they forked over for my accident.
Haven't heard from any former co-workers since I left a month ago. Spent nearly 4 years there and it's like nothing now.
Election drama will enter the 4th stage of grief soon enough. PizzaGate still is a thing. Fake news is blamed for a lot of things. Polls were fake, right?
I read God's Debris. Meh. I have read Dale Carnegie a few times over and a lot of books by authors such as Vonnegut, Richard Bach and Douglas Adams, so I can say "meh," without being too insulting to Scott Adams.
Annual doctor's visit: I weigh roughly 173lbs. Last year: 166lbs. Doc didn't mention my weight which he had in past years, but said my cholesterol and glucose numbers were great.
Wife is doing fine. Son is doing fine. Daughters are doing fine. My mom has stress fracture in her foot. We're all progressing towards 2017, I guess.
I've mostly conceded goals as being unobtainable or bad milestones, so I'm trying to be more systems oriented, as recommended by Dilbert creator, Scott Adams. Maybe he'll follow me on Twitter this year, if Twitter survives, I mean. Would be cool to have 100 followers, but it would be cooler to have 10K, if they generated money for me, at least. I don't create content for people, so my audience is myself, but I could change.
