It is hot and muggy in Indiana. Two months without rain is creating havoc for my lungs as the ozone, mold, and pollen thrive. There are storms in the forecast and once there is rain, all the crap in the air will be washed out.
It is odd coming back to this place. It is great to see my family even if the discussion turn argumentative- but that is only when it comes to politics.
I missed Obama's speech last night but I've been able to catch it on CSPAN's website. He was magnificent and truly lives up to the idea of someone historic in the making. Albeit most of the news watched in this house is skewed by FOX news and their fair and balanced reporters in Bill Kristol and Karl Rove. My step dad then proceeds to tell me how its the most balanced news out there.
I don't think my family has heard of npr, votesmart, or pbs news- they're by far the most comprehensive journalists. Those agencies are not commentators, they're reporters with integrity and what they deliver is good material for everyone to make their own decisions. Twenty four hour news sites are pushed to make news out of nothing and fill time, speculation, dote on the tabloid stories rather than engage in real discussion of substance.
I'd encourage any voter in the US to do more research than just the nightly news or the sound bites that fill the airwaves. Knowledge and an informed electorate is the only way to create a lasting, responsible, and responsive government.
I've been so moody and loopy lately that I cannot even tell you what day of the week it is. Every creature in this house minus the cat is in pain and drugged up.
My cell phone is really pissing me off. It doesn't hold a charge for more than 2 minutes of talking time. But I hate going into that damn sprint store. Every time I venture in there, there is one clerk and three people whose problems take forever to resolve. I'm sure though that when I venture in the annoying salesperson will say something inconclusive and try to get me to buy a new phone. Hopefully all that I'll have to do is buy a new batter. Hopefully. Damn cell phone evil conspiracy devil worshipers.
I'm edgy... well not edgy but on edge. Time keeps ticking by and I don't know how to fill it. Bored of so many things, and my headspace is just making me down right bitchy.
This has been an unbelievable long week and I'm not even the one going through the worst of it. It makes me feel so powerless to see Seven and the dog in such bad form. Other than being a pill pusher, there isn't much I can truly do except wait and watch things unfold.
I just want to take some advil pm and sleep through it all. Wake up happy, relaxed, and with everyone healthy. I suppose living in a dream world doesn’t actually help the situation.
But damn. I’m tired.
I just killed a spider…. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek I hate those damn things!
Freakin caffeine buzz keeping me awake and now I’m scared to go to bed because of eight legged creatures from hell.

You killed it? Bring on the spiders from hell .. lol
I had to kill two wasps yesterday...do two wasps = 1 spider ? lol
Oh God, I know what you are saying!!!!!!! I have had that SAME problem this year!! Check my journal for my spider story. I have had several of those big, fast, grass spiders this year. And Danny found another last night, on top of a dresser in the bedroom, on the needle nose plyers we use to turn on the fan. He was reaching for them and THERE IT WAS! Eeek! I am so paranoid now and watch the floor all the time. = I hate spiders!! We have brown recluse around this part of the US. Keep your Raid handy!!
That just gave me the shivers. Hell, I'm shuddering just thinking about spiders!
I hate em too...and Oh Damn! Now I'm paranoid just thinking one will crawl across my desk again.
Thanks for the reminder :P lol
I love to suck them up the vacum...yea thats best for them..

Ohhh... that is a great Sunday. :)
I love Samantha Brown she's an awesome guide, she seems like someone I'd like to know..
Sometimes it is better to remove ties rather than allow toxins to perpetrate our lives.
Last night sucked. I was driving back from a convenience store when all of a sudden I began feeling dizzy and a bit disoriented. I just felt almost like I was outside of my body while driving the few blocks home.
I felt nauseas and all sorts of crappy things while I just sat inside with my eyes closed trying not to get sick.
Seven took care of me though... making sure I rested in front of the fan, drank liquids, ate popscicles, and took a cold shower. Seven freakin rocks.
When I woke up this morning, all was better. But I'm going to lay off the gym (which sucks) and make sure I'm in the AC for the next couple of days.

Meeper... you best take care of yourself. Who would I share my rants with? :(
Seven ROCKS! Thanks for taking carry of the Meep.
I get that sometimes too. All of a sudden I get dizzy and it freaks me out. I don't like it when that happens. It scares me. Good thing you were being taken care of. =)
