I'm not a fan of being ill. I'm especially not a fan of being ill over the bestest weekend of the year. There were no parties for me. There was oozing and being cranky. Feh. Now I'm at that vexing stage where I'm no longer so sick that I'm just dead beat tired... but I'm not focused and clever enough to do anything other than be annoyed at the fact that I'm not focused and clever.
I've tons of stuff to do, too. I have schoolwork, and writing, and work in the basement, and some winterization tasks around the house. I'll need to work on lectures for the week this evening - here's hoping that I'll have the energy to make the tasty peanut chicken that I'm planning for dinner - the delicious red pepper sauce always perks me up a bit when I'm ill.
This month continues my secret theme of weddings... at this point I'm just wondering why my friends couldn't all join a cult, have a mass wedding, and get things over with in one fell swoop. So. Much. Easier.
I'm also distressed about politics - which should come as no surprise. I find candidates on both sides in most races to be seriously deficient - there is literally nothing on the ballot in Illinois that I feel good voting for... I'll vote anyway, but I *miss* being able to vote for Russ and Tammy, and feel that my vote was actually for, rather than against, something. Add in the fact that I'll likely have to deal with speaker boehner, and with the loss of Russ... and this is a pretty grim election season. I might be ok with a changing of the guard in congress if I felt that the republicans actually had any kind of useful plans... but they don't. We'll get more de-regulation, more privatization, and, worst of all, much more corporate welfare... feh.
