211 - Ho Hum, Dum-dee-dum

At work time passes like frozen molasses (nice start to a poem, eh?). At home... where does my frickin' time go?

I came home. I made dinner... 5 pm'ish. I ate. I sat down at the computer, checked my email, checked Facebook, checked Southern Savers. Watched a couple of video tutorials on the Southern Savers website. Cleaned up a couple of piles of receipts and magazines, did some dishes. It's 7:15 pm at this point. Crap, I need to exercise... here I come, Gilad... wait for meeeeeeeeeeeeee! 7:47pm and here I sit, blogging (read your blogs at lunch). In another hour I'll be in the tub, reading (and shaving my legs with all the razors I bought this week), when I get out, it'll be 10 pm... watch Paranormal State, and if I'm still feeling peppy, The Bad Girls Club, then off to bed I go... wondering why I felt so calm after my bath, but now I feel paranoid and a little angry... (kidding about the paranoia...) (mostly)

How do people who work late and have kids do it??? Are you people from the planet Krypton???

Booked my condo for the shuttle launch and talked to my aunt about visiting her in Georgia at some point in the fall. Yea! Plans! My aunt said something funny, because it's what I always say... she said it's good to have something to look forward to. I don't know if I've said it here or not, but I think that's the secret to happiness... looking forward to things. If I had everything I could possibly want, never wanted for anything again, I think I would be bored. There's got to be something to strive for. She said she read it in a book. Somehow I managed to figure it out on my own.

My uncle is still in the hospital, but he is relying less and less on the respirator. By now Jose should be moved out of the ICU and into a private room. My cousin hasn't said anything about her daughter so I assume the meds are working and her seizures are a thing of the past. Things are looking up, thank you again for your prayers.



My friend, author Marc Schooley has graciously granted me an interview! I finished his book, The Dark Man, about a week ago... it was really good... It is kind of a 1984-esque take on religion. Because of my love/hate relationship with organized religion I didn't know if I would be open to it or not. He did a really good job of telling a compelling story without religious overkill. It is certainly in there, but I wasn't put off by it -- and for me, that's saying something! Anyway, unlike Ian, I'm not a fountain of questions... for all my creativity and zillion thoughts, I'm not a very inquisitive person. It's why I suck at small talk. So it's going to take me a little while to formulate my questions, and then I'll have to sync up with him to interroga-- I mean, interview him. I'm hoping to post late this week or early next week. So... something to look forward to! (see how I tied that all up in a nice bow? it's my special talent.)
