The Last Debate

So I woke up this morning still with the slight cough and a throbbing earache...yet another ear infection. What the hell?!? I haven't been this sick in a long time. At least I had eardrops from last years inner ear infection so that has been working since this morning. I'm glad today was a holiday. Gave me another day to rest and recover. I accomplished alot including working on the corporate sponsor letter for the mailing that will go out next week. On the personal front, I cleaned up and filed paid bills, put away my laundry, swiffered a bit, made breakfast and lunch (respectively) and cleaned up accordingly, and set my target date for yet another big accomplishment. Mark your calendars....December 8th will be a very big day for me (as well as the Virgin Mary coincidentally since it will be the Feast of the Immaculate Conception) Bet you didn't think I wouldn't' know that but I am Catholic of course. If everything stays on course, I am headed into my 35th year of life in a really good position. I pray that everything remains good on this latest road, chapter.

Can you believe the election is only three weeks away?!? We will know who will be leading us out of this disastrous Bush presidency very, very soon. I feel for Barak (since I know in my heart he will win). He will have a tough job ahead of him. The economy is in the toilet, homelessness is on the rise as are ever growing costs of medical care, many retirees are being forced to do the unmentionable and come OUT of retirement. Scary times for those who fear the unknown. Now more than ever one has to be flexible even in the most inflexible of times. Sometimes I think it's a blessing in disguise that I am single with no family to support financially. While I am optimistic that I will have that in my life one day, for now I'm happy it's not today. I already worry about family and friends from that perspective so could you imagine how worried I would be about my children and husband during these wild economic times?!? Even with the best planning, sometimes you can't outplan the unexpected. It will be interesting to watch the third and final Presidential Debate on Wednesday. Politics are always interesting.

I feel like debating today but alas...I am alone as usual. I can debate myself but that would be unfair since I would side with myself. Ha ha. O.K. going to relax on the couch for about an hour. Will revisit this post then.

9:30...just finished a really good cup of hot water with honey and lemon juice. still have a slight cough and my ear is still hurting me. The day actually flew by even though I didn't go outside. Looks like its going to be another warm week. When is my snow and cold getting here. Have a hair appt tomorrow. Hy finally opened her own shop so can't wait to see the finished product. I remember doing a walkthrough with her about two months ago as she was battling it out with the contractor. Those guys always take on more projects than they can handle. It will be interesting to see what her prices will be. Also have to get a flu shot this week. Hopefully by Thurs/Fri I'll be back at 100%. Better figure out what to wear and work on this letter a little more. I hope this week goes by fast. More tomorrow.
