“I think that voting is important because if voting wasn’t invented a lot of things would be weird. Like if we didn’t have an election for president and we did rock, paper, scissors for it, that’d be kind of weird,” Jordan says.

Kids in Wisconsin also voted today.

I VOTED!

Granted, it was just the Presidential Primary and one open alderperson's seat. But still....



I VOTED!

By April 15th

I will need a toaster and a wine rack.

Holy cow!

LOL

Note - I didn't laugh until he drew a diagram of a circular argument.

Last Week

While I was sick, life at work continued. It was inventory week, and Bayshore was mine to run. My boss made me go home Saturday and Monday, and requested that I stay home Tuesday. The unfortunate aspect of this came on Wednesday when I got in to work. I was feeling much better until I found that my store had done nothing more to prepare for inventory. By 3 Wednesday afternoon, I was done for. I went home and got in bed. I slept until 3 the next morning. I did my best to shake off this sickness and ran my stockroom inventory. I was home by 5 and in bed by 5:15. It took longer to fall asleep this time, as my cough would not settle down. I got up at 3 in the morning, shoveled my driveway and geared up for day 2. I dropped my coffee in the snow. And the inventory service only had 6 people to start the day with. But when all was said and done, it was 4 in the afternoon.

I'm still coughing, but I do feel better.

When I was little I wanted to be the president, a firewoman, a teacher, a cheerleader and a writer. Now all I want is to be happy. And left alone. And I want to know who I am in the contest of a world full of hate and domination.

"Bloodlove" by Christine Doza

I am sick.

Why you are all glad I'm not an engineer after all:

Read me.

I don't understand how taxes are figured. I try every year to grasp what formula they use. And I can't get it.

Can't Get No Satisfaction.

It's incredibly unsatisfying when you need to cry, you feel the lump in your throat kind of need to cry, and it's not about something, but you can't seem to actually cry. I'm overwhelmed with a need. I have a box of tissue and my teddy bear. But the tears will not come.

I love coffee!

I guess I've been a bit busy

I've been neglecting my blog. I realized that while I was finally doing laundry today. I have a few posts that I've been "working on" for weeks. Which is to say that I had an idea, started a post, then got distracted and forgot about it.

Some distractions have been awesome: The Kaletas (all), The Donohues (all), boyfriend and puppy, good friends and good books.

Some distractions didn't suck too bad: Inventory stuff, resolving DA cases.

Some distractions I could do without: Bills, laundry, cooking.

I'm not resolving to post more frequently. But I am willing to promise to try to post more frequently. That sounds like I write for a politician.

No Resolutions

I'm boycotting New Year's Resolutions this year.

Thank You

I'm grateful for people that have welcomed me into their family. The Kaletas and Donohues, Lempas and Lallensacks who all make sure that I am now family instead of "crazy single old maid." I'm not only grateful to be loved. But also because this is not something I want to be one day: This American Life, episode 346.

Go NASA

NASA named a bully galaxy "Death Star Galaxy"....

Commercials

The Toyota commercials are bugging me.

1. An insurance company would never pay to replace a car that was sabotaged.
2. If it did, the insured could probably be charged with fraud.
3. If you want a new car, buy a frickin car.

All I want for Christmas....
