Tuesday...the Sequel

Yesterday was a good day for me despite waking up with the lingering headache from a migraine. It was so cool that even though I wrote an entry for the blog, I didn't have time to put in everything I wanted to say or comment. So I guess you could say this entry is part two as a continuation to Tuesday's post. It further reinforces my affinity for Tuesday over any other day of the week. I was reading the news online and was shocked to hear that Asia's richest woman, Nina Wang, has passed away. I was fascinated with her rise to wealth after she was revealed on the Forbes list a short time ago. News reports say she had ovarian cancer but it has not been confirmed. It will be very interesting to hear the final story on her passing. What amazed me the most about her, and many other women on the list, is that she had no children. Does this mean that in order to achieve vast wealth one basically should not give birth to offspring? An interesting debate. Also, last week on the evening world news, there was an interesting piece about Vladimir Putin. What made it fascinating to watch was the fact that while he bills his country as one of social democracy, he runs it like a dictatorship and is flying so far under the radar when it comes to U.S. diplomacy. Like North Korea's fearless leader, Putin is also one to watch. I thought about that news story again last night after hearing the latest debate on Capitol Hill over Bush and his veto power. The House Majority leader had a great quote where he said that Bush "is the president of the United States...not the King of the United States." Loved it! So very true. In my opinion, Bush goes way to far with power. He really does not know how to handle it yet he is allowed to lead an entire country! Putin really is a dictator in disguise but the ironic thing is the people of the country love him. And for those who don't...well let's just say they find themselves in jail over trumped up charges. This world and it's many people in power are intriguing.

On a separate note, I felt really empowered when I finally figured out what to do with funds in my rollover IRA account. I took care of that on Tuesday as well. While the world of stocks and mutual funds is still somewhat scary for me...I have learned that the more I read up and ask questions, the less scary investing becomes. Once school is over I can spend a little more time researching stocks so that I can select wisely for my portfolio. I better get going to workout. Will visit post later (I feel like I forgot to include something). Later.

9:39pm...got in from class not to long ago. It was a pretty good lecture. I had to stay a bit afterwards to print out stuff in the computer lab. I felt restless during class. I think I needed to keep moving around to avoid getting stiff from this afternoon's workout. I'm feeling sore now but in a good way. I literally have stuff laying everywhere. I'm going to have to spend about 45 minutes putting everything back where it belongs. I really need to give away some more clothes but it's hard to part with them in the wake of possibly not being able to afford to replace anything should I need it. The goal is to lose enough weight where I would have to replace the clothes anyway. I'm getting there slowly but surely. Rich came into some job postings that are right up my alley. I'll apply tomorrow morning on the website. I have a feeling something good is going to come my way soon. Only time will tell. Anyway...I better get going. I'm a bit sleepy but have some reading and the start of the draft to do. Not really looking forward to tomorrow's doctors appointment. Dr. L stressed I must come back in to repeat a test. It's so freaking painful but once it's done I won't have to repeat it hopefully until next year. Another drs appt on Friday and hopefully that will be it until I have a job with medical and dental insurance. Anywho...work calls. Until Thursday.
