Been a while

So I realized I haven't posted here in some time:

* Lately my weeks have been:
-- Thursday: Sleep until midday so I can be ready to work at 8 p.m.
-- Friday: Wind up going to bed anywhere from 6-10 a.m. and waking up a few hours later for D&D.
-- Saturday: Wake up in the early-mid afternoon for D&D.
-- Sunday: Sleep in, putter around and recover.
-- Mon-Wed: Hunt around nearly fruitlessly on job hunting sites and the usual internet stuff.

* I found some interviews and speeches my aunt Lena gave during her time as a state representative (I thought she was a senator but it was the House) for Arizona. She's a strong Democratic woman who had to step down from having a heart attack that caused a stroke paralyzing the right side of her body (I also found a picture dated on my last birthday about her physical therapy).

"In her only year in the House, Saradnik pushed for decreasing class sizes for children in kindergarten through third grade and increasing the types of cancer screenings that health insurance companies must cover. But she was best known by Capitol regulars for her frequent floor speeches about global warming, during which she pleaded with her peers to enact stricter pollution-control laws to curb the production of greenhouse gases."

Lastly, I found an mp3 of her resignation speech.

* I've also caught myself thinking about my birthday this year. When considering how wonderful last year's went, I'm thinking of just not doing anything at all.
