It has been awhile since I've last written. It is not that I had nothing to write about, but life does keep one busy. Not that I am busy all the time, but priorities can become misplaced. In other words I have been too exhausted to write or maybe too lazy. But, I am still working at the hospital, I am getting ready to go back to school and I found another place to live. I have shared in the past on the issues with my apartment complex and continued increases in rent, which will be going up another 65.00 a month. So, my son and I have been packing for the last month, I cannot believe how much we have, mostly my stuff. It is a lot of things I use and the things I do not use I have been donating or throwing away. I decided to stay in the Springs for another year, the place I am renting is a little smaller and a lot less on rent, but it will help me save a little. The cost of living is becoming ridiculous in the Springs! People are having to work two to three jobs just to stay above water. The Springs is being overtaken by people from "progressive" states, and they are rude, selfish, arrogant and they are not wanted in Colorado. My beautiful state is becoming Colofornia. Even though I am not a native of this state, I have been here 18 years and assimilated to the lifestyle of Colorado. But those coming from other states leave their crap that they help create in their state, then move to other states because they like the lifestyle, then they bring the same mindset from the states they are fleeing from and they vote and want the crap they left. Why don't just stay where you came from if you miss you crap so much! It is just pathetic and unfortunately many Coloradoans are moving to states like Wyoming or Montana. I cannot blame them. How sad that Colorado will be destroyed in a matter of years, it is already starting with the garbage and politics, or is it one of the same. I don't think I want to buy a home right now, but I hope I can save enough money to leave the Springs. But for now I will be moving into a two bedroom one bath basement apartment. It is an older home, but I have the backyard for my dogs and no pot smokers!! To think that many people are moving to Colorado for the pot, how pathetic! Anyway, even Governor Hickenlooper stated that he did not want to pass the legalization of marijuana in Colorado, Yeah Right!! Now, that he has lined his pockets with pot money he regrets it. He could have vetoed the legalization of pot, maybe he is seeing the demise of our state with the garbage, homelessness, broken families and crimes increasing in Colorado. Unfortunately, more lethal drugs have increased too. I hope all these pathetic politicians sleep well at night. WOW!! If I sound disgusted and angry about sharing the truths of what a legalized drug can do to a state, I am telling you, it can destroy it! Even the Coloradoans who voted for the legalization of pot are regretting it, big time!
Anyway . . . .
Now, I wanted to write about what I have been up to, but I believe that I needed to share how Colorado is changing, and not for the better. I miss my Colorado, especially the Springs, you are not the same. You are becoming a giant garbage dump and the people who are moving here are disgusting. They do not love you, but they are using you because they can afford to rape your natural beauty and they get away with it. I will not leave you completely, but I will grieve you, I will live in grief for the slow loss of my beloved Colorado.
