on waiting...

One would think that I would be really good at waiting by now.

I once heard a saying:
You can have anything you want, but you have to choose from two of these three: Fast, Good, and Cheap.
Fast and Cheap is no good, Fast and Good is never cheap, so I go for Good and Cheap. I wait...

This last year has been an exercise in waiting for me. When we choose to move, I waited weeks to move. Then I waited six weeks on the beach for fishing. I waited two more weeks for a ferry that wasn't full. I waited on money for materials to build with. I waited on employers to call me back. I waited for Santa, and the New Year, and for my dial-up internet to finally load a page.

Now I wait for Spring. Today it is raining, teasing me in January, trying to make me think Winter is over. I won't be fooled though, and I will wait for the real spring to come. With it will come either a Job or a shop opening, or both. I need something to keep me busy and to make a living.  Cabin Fever is here, and I can't wait for it to leave.
