Nothing new to report really, just sorting of floating through the days. I generally feel a little out of it, probably b/c of the meds the doc gave me for the migraines. Had another doosey on Tues night/Wed day. It's still lingering, leaving that strange sensitivity to just about everything. I've noticed that things even smell weird for days after the pain starts to dull. If that's not some nuero-transmitted strangeness, I don't know what is.
Caused by stress I am sure. It's been a difficult few days around my house, just settling into new idea's and routines. I am dirt ass poor and there's nothing I can do about it except to get another part time job. I'll have to work another 20 hours a week to really make it worth it and get myself out of this slump. I'm thinking if I can start something in Sept and work through Dec, that should get me pretty caught up and hopefully, back on track. Meanwhile, if I'm lucky...maybe that child support will finally come through.
Freaking guys. You'd wonder where their conscience flew off to? Maybe it's lingering over their heads somewhere waiting to drop on them when they least expect it?
This thing in Greece is so sad isn't it? Alot of people are dying and all that history in harms way, scary to me. I've been keeping an eye on it and hoping it gets better.

I watched a documentary on New Orleans last night that was pretty horrifying. All I kept thinking as I heard the statistics about crime, poverty, drug use and lack of housing, employment and health care was...."This is his legacy. Iraq and Katrina. This is our legacy now. What the world will think of my generation and my sons generation." Over and over, all I could think of was how our country has failed and faltered and become somewhere I am more ashamed to live than proud. What really moved me was the number of folks in FEMA trailers are the are a) sick from the formaldehyde in the wall lining, b) unemployed with no health care and c) suicidal. This is how we treat our own refugee's, no wonder torture is deemed acceptable at GNTMO.
This next year will be an interesting one, that's for certain. I'm excited about the potential for changes, but not as optimistic as I'd like. I'm not totally confident in our voting system or the fact that enough people are voting. I can only hope that this year, people will come out in droves to vote. It's a start at least.
