Things That Worry Me

1.  Son #2 has to have a colonoscopy and endoblahblahscopy this week.  He's only ten, so this is extremely worrisome.  But at least we might have some answers as to why he's been sick for 3 months.  As he so eloquently said in a fit of frustration the other night, "But they are going to shove a camera up my ASS!"

2.  The US Supreme Court made a historically bad ruling this week.  Evidently corporations are now considered equal with citizens with first amendment protections.  Translation = Big business is going to rule the country now, since they can donate to political candidates with no limits.  Can you say Facism?

3.  What will happen once I publish Thresholds and Other Ruminations in March?  Is this a totally stupid dream of mine that I should give up?  Guess it's too late now, as the publisher has the final product all ready to go.  Maybe I should have thought this through more...I kinda need that pesky day job to pay the mortgage on our new house.

4.  We have yet to submit a page on this year's yearbook.  Same shit, different year.

5.  The damn kids decided to do a "mustache" issue of the school newspaper, over my loud protests.  Now, the three girls who wanted it the most didn't write their fucking stories.  We have no pics.  Deadline night is next Tuesday.  Heads will roll.

6.  The power keeps flickering and going off and on today; 3 days after an ice storm.  No big deal, EXCEPT I'M ADDICTED TO THE INTERNET. 

Time to admit I'm a worry wart.  Time to admit Delani has no control over life. Time to stop talking about self in 3rd person.
