The worst part is that I don't even want motivation! I want to sit on my butt in the air conditioning and read and pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist.

I hear that McCain is troubled by the CBO score of the Senate's health plan/tax cut.

McCain is often troubled, but in the end never actually votes as if he were.

I thought about chap stick, Dana, but didn't find a knock off version at the Dollar Store and I'm kinda out of time to shop around.

We got mini hand sanitizers, individual wrapped mini Snickers, and a bunch of flat rocks. Flat rocks? You ask? My BFF is going to use paint pens on them to write You're a ROCK STAR and You're my HERO and such on them for me.

Today, at Monro Brake & Muffler, I listened while the lead mechanic first recommended that a young lady go to a neighborhood 'no name' shop ( and gave her #s) after their quote was more than she could afford right now, and printed out a list of repairs in order of importance & told her to tell them to call him with questions. And that she didn't need manufacture parts. They charged her nothing. Then he took a call where he sent the caller to another shop 'they are the experts on that system.' And they didn't try to upsale me on an oil & filter change, just checked everything and said nothing more was needed. Either a front for something or ridiculously honest. Given all the old folks dropping off cars who they knew by name, I'm guessing more the latter. It was almost funny.

As Mavericks go he's more of a gelding.

I think the people who hit the road just before the top of the hour are more ragey than the people who start their commute just after the top of the hour. I'm never cut off more often than I am when I leave the house early, about ten till 8. I'm guessing they're all people who need to be at work at 8, and it's a fifteen-minute drive and they're clueless about why they're always late and angry.

I had to take a brief nap, since my brilliant plan of getting to bed on time last night was foiled by real crappy sleep. I was super-energetic at my 7AM meeting.

Also, yesterday was the fun conversation with the pharmacy where they told me that I couldn't get the full prescription of my new migraine drug, because insurance only allows three doses in a three-month period. This is the only thing that has ever helped me at stopping an ongoing migraine.

Incidentally, I have a migraine.

Oh, they're not voting on the healthcare bill until after July 4th. Temporary relief.

Timelies all!

Why my throat hurts, I don't know, but it does.
