This is turning out to be a difficult week to get through. All I wanna do is sit on my deck and read (and maybe whack down the dandelions, which seem to have achieved a record height this year – at least in my lawn), but, no, I have to keep limping my way into work every morning. This sucks. My latest physical ailment is my foot, and it hurts like hell. Enough to keep me awake most of last night. I believe it is the beginnings of a bunion, though not as severe as some of the pictures I’ve been looking at (which are pretty damn creepy). Of course, it may not be a bunion at all, as my toe doesn’t seem to be pointing in all that much of a direction. It could also be arthritis, or something. Whatever it is, I’m very much hoping it goes away.

Someone who will be going away is Dick Lugar, the soon to be former Senator from Indiana. I’m kinda glad to see him go. Not because I want the teabagger nutcase who defeated him in the Republican primary to win, but because I’m tired of these Republicans who talk all moderate and sane, and then go and vote the way they’re told anyway (yeah, looking at you Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe).

Anyway, the Democrats could use that Senate seat, ‘cuz Jim Tester isn’t looking too good for reelection. It would be nice if that underwear model in MA would go down (in defeat, that is), too.

When the snow starts to fly and it gets cold around here, I try and remind myself why I’m really glad I don’t live in Florida or North Carolina, or pretty much anywhere south of PA.

Oh well, time to get back to work I guess.
