Oh, change of weekend plans! My sister has decided she's tired of spending every weekend working on one of the houses, so instead we're taking a road trip to Blacksburg and rummaging through antique stores tomorrow. I approved this plan.

Going to see Greg Proops tonight in a local comedy club. I lurves his snarky self, I does.

I feel bad, Will came over and we went to dinner and afterward I was kinda in a mood. So he left. I didn't really want him to leave but I didn't know how to articulate what I wanted and I'm feeling tired and cranky.

And he said maybe he shouldn't try to see me so much while I'm going through this. Which isn't what I want. So tomorrow we have tentative plans to go to Buffalo Wild Wings and watch FSU vs Wake Forest after my needle felting class.

Must be political season. Crazy right wing uncle (well, actually, it was his wife this time) sent me a youtube link with a "You must take time to watch this". It was a video saying that Obama is a secret Muslim, see, he's admitted it in all these speeches. And then proceeded to take snidbits of a dozen speeches to form sentences. They were mostly the speeches he made after the election and before he was sworn in, when he went international, to introduce himself, and try and calm the world to America, and undo the crap Bush II had done. Anyhow. I stopped the video, didn't watch the whole thing, and did a reply all to the email, saying the video was racist, and bush league. And a) who cares if he is a Muslim, 1st amendment says we can be whatever we want. and b) just because he has family members that were doesn't mean he is. And, see point a)!

Ugg. Should know better than to click those, especially at work.

It's a good thing, I think!

askye- ugh, I hate that feeling- hope you and Will figure out how to navigate this.

Dear Jeebus, she responded with:

I just keep hoping you will be able to see the truth.  If Obama gets re-elected, we will become residents of Texas and hope they do secede. I just have such a hard time believing you can't see Obama for what he is.  Yes, we are radically different when it comes to politics.

Oh, I dunno, an educated man trying to make things right? I swear, it's hard living in my family sometimes. How I turned out as I did is a real mystery.

seriously omnis? That'd be one family member I'd have to stop talking politics with. Well OK I'd probably couldn't stop myself from pointing out, four years from now, the lack of Sharia laws in the US.

my brother got the teaching job. It was lucky too. I was about to Ava Crowder him.

So now the window is in the cats are happily co existing in front of the bedroom window.

Yay!

Thank you so so much for introducing me to him. He's made my life better, he has. Man, he can rant like no one's business.

Oh, askye, that is tough. I hope you find a way to communicate with him and support each other.

omnis, that is... something special. Yeah, I'd be tempted to take notes now and come back four years later. Or make a bet. But that's probably not helpful.

Nora, glad the splint is off! I guess broken bone treatment has evolved. Huh.

I ran errands - got a little distracted, but didn't buy a bunch of extraneous crap, so that's good. And NeilMed bottles were on sale for $2.50 at Walgreens, so I bought two. Now I've showered and fed the cats and put a few things away and cleaned the bathroom sink and toilet and scooped the pans and emptied the trash and made my bed. Next up - alternating doing dishes with putting away clothes until D gets here.

For being sick, I am being pretty productive.

Congrats to your brother, erika!

Shotgun or frying pan?
