And Now for Something Political

President Bush threatened immediately after 9/11 to blow Pakistan up if they didn't help us? And this is supposed to surprise or even upset me?

Get real.

Monday, Monday

My son got home from his cub scout camping trip and his cough was much worse. Could it have been that 20 degree night air in the mountains?

This morning he looked awful so I took his temperature. It was normal. So I was literally walking out the door to take him to before-school care and he coughed and started wheezing so I said, "Grab your DS and get a book. You're going to work with me." I've never done that before. Luckily, there's an empty cube next to me since Mr. Recruiter took a hike so he just hung out there while I got through giving the new Sr. Director of Marketing his orientation. Then I got son into a 10 a.m. appt. and the dr. said, "Has he ever had asthma before?"

Two pharmacies, three Rx's, and a quick lesson in administering Albueterol later, I was home with him and quite exhausted. We ate lunch, watched a science channel documentary on volcanoes, and then the beagle lay on my stomach and lulled me into a power nap.

Now I'm trying to pick up the pieces of my day.

Oh, and in between pharmacies , the dry cleaner and the gas station (well, I was out...) I went by the gym and weighed in. I lost 5+ lbs. this week!

Happy Blogday

Hey, I just realized this blog is a year old this month. I know I'm terrible at blogging, but I just can't seem to give it up. This was supposed to be my public, NaNoWriMo, writing blog when I started it last year. I'm not quite sure what, if anything, it has morphed into.

I also have a blog that's not public here on Blogger so I can gripe openly about everything and name names. Actually, it's just one I started to fulfill the journaling requirement for my Advanced Creative Writing class this semester.

I still have my old LiveJournal, I think -- haven't been over there for a while. (Note to self: post on LJ so they don't delete it.)

And then I have a blog on ebay because they were having a contest for people to start blogs and I wanted to win some money. But I didn't. But I kept it anyway.

So, yeah. I'm all over the place.

I Hate Math

No, that's not true anymore.

My lifelong case of math anxiety seems to be going into remission these last couple of weeks, as I work my way through my Intermediate Algebra class (on the road to that elusive, transferable College Algebra.)

But, I do hate my math class. Not the teacher, she's nice, if a ditzy. No, it's really the format of the class I hate, and the fact that they cannot get their computer shit together. It is making me crazy.

I wasted half an hour waiting for pages to load today -- and I have a really quick Internet connection, even on my laptop when it's on the home network! It's not me. It's the server.

And, I don't have half an hour to waste.

I mean, no one does, do they?
