Well, THIS has been a crappy week so far
On Monday, we got the news that John M. Ford died. There are people it would upset me more to have lost, but not all that many, and most of those are related to me. So Monday and Tuesday were fairly bad days.
On Wednesday I was starting to bounce back some, until Mike came home from school with a new variation on his habit of picking his skin. I don't know how or why, but he broke a chunk out of his thumbnail and pulled it OUT of the nailbed. I probably shouldn't have, but I totally freaked out with sobbing hysterics. He said it didn't hurt that much, which somehow made it worse. Maybe I was over-reacting, since I called his doctor and they couldn't even be bothered to call me back. (Well, they FINALLY did, after an hour, but I had had to leave to meet other obligations.)
Oh, and that high school where the degenerate freak broke in to rape and kill? That's the formerly charming little mountain community where the clone's brother and his wife live, that we just visited last month.
Today was, nevertheless, pretty productive. It needed to be because on Saturday we have this huge deal going down where 10 of the 13 candidates running for office (local, state AND national!) will be here for a rally, and then on Sunday it's the semi-annual Friends of the Library book sale, which Caro will be working and I will be buying mass quantities from. So I was feeling pretty good about myself and things in general--
Until I read about the vote in the Senate which basically runs our Bill of Rights through a shredder and then flushes it into the sewer.
And MY senators voted for it.
OK, I expected that from Allard. He has, so I understand, ONCE in his career voted against the party line. But oh, I had thought better of Ken Salazar.
I sent him an email, which sadly he is unlikely to read himself. And I doubt the office help will pass on my specific comment about him turning out to not have a pair. Oh, well.
Things are bound to start looking up again soon, right?
