The sad reality of it all...
Exercise: 160 crunches, 40 leg lifts, and another 2 mile musicless power run. I put my player on the charger but it seems one of the little fur brats that runs around here knocked it off - I didn't notice until it was too late. :( Oh to the people at #46, please clean the dog shit up from your yard. It's stinks like none other and it's against association policy to leave crap lying around.
Today was the first day of a week long vacation from work and even though I didn't get out of bed until 10, I feel like it was more productive than most days I have at work. I gave my car a handwashing that it desperately needed after this past week's weather, cleaned out the refrigerator only to find a couple of nasty surprises (Chi likes to open stuff and "hide" it in there so well that even he forgets about it), and I cleaned the rest of the kitchen. Of course that means I still have three bathrooms, the dining room, the living room, the loft and two bedrooms left to touch up tomorrow. ARGH! I also noticed that this is the first time in a long time I haven't had a headache during the week. I swear ever since they remodeled our office there is something in there that is making me "sick" and it doesn't have to do with being stressed.
I had another dream last night but I'm not sure what it was about but I know a certain someone made another appearance. I woke up at 7:30 this morning with a start (something that just doesn't happen especially when I went to bed late the night before) and this odd feeling. I also had quick snapshots of bits of the dream going through my brain but not enough to put together in order to remember the events of it.
Oh....I heard on the world news that congress is going to start giving couples money to get married. If this isn't the most harebrained idea I've heard. Then again when I found out it was the idea of Sam Brownback (a Kansas Republican) it didn't really surprise me. Here's a guy that comes from a state who voted to have "intelligent design" taught in schools and is very much against things like gay marriage yet he wants to pay heterosexual couples in the inner city money to get married because he thinks children are going to benefit from having two parents. I won't deny that having two parents does make things easier, however, offering money to people in this manner could potentially make things worse. I can just see two people who shouldn't be getting married doing so because of the incentive then having a child who is raised in a household with bickering parents or worse. Even if they require counseling as a prerequisite, I still think it isn't a good idea - anyone can fool a counselor if they want to. I mean look at my brother and his first wife. They got counseling before they got married - it lasted all of 7 months. He and his current wife didn't and it is 9 years in and going strong. If this congressman really decided to use his brain, he would take that money and help fund programs to help keep parents in their children's lives but not necessarily under one roof or for people who wish to live together but not get married. I think as long as a child knows both parents love them, both parents are there for them when needed, and the parents have a civil relationship they don't have to be married or living in the same house to make things work because it doesn't take a genius to know that marriage just isn't for everyone.
And now for something completely different....
How come people you know don't care for you still show up periodically to read your blog? I noticed that "Justine" still likes to swing by from time to time. You would have thought by the way she acted towards me on our Lep adventures, she would want nothing to do with me but I guess I must be wrong.
Well, I's outta here. Time to have a shower and get off to bed so have my dreams can haunted by a stalker from the past again.
