jimpage363 at 08:41pm on 07/08/2006 under lifeSo far, I am down another pound. I remain on plan and going to the gym or exercising as per plan. So does the Husband, despite his awful brush with the Nachos of Doom.
The County Agricultural Commissioner called to tell us that, whatever we were sprayed with, it wasn't the sulphur-based whatever they feared it was. While I am grateful that none of the kids or I were exposed to anything harmful, I am still left wondering what the hell was all over us AND why I had to shower in the church parking lot.
Work is going well, with actual progress being made despite my best unproductive efforts. Something about that "TO DO" list cries out to me to cross items off, despite any interesting websites I might stumble over.
No writing is happening. *sigh*
The Muslim extremists continue to get people killed AND the rest of the world looks in every direction but theirs for someone to sanction and hold accountable. None of my family and friends in Israel have been harmed yet, but people are throwing missiles at them! And there is nothing I can do about this.
A child from my past school, son of a staff member of mine, was murdered. Shot and left on the side of the highway in Florida. He was 17 and I don't know how to handle this. It seems so unbelievably senseless. One of his killers is already in custody - an 18 year old. The boy was 17. How many lives are now destroyed because of this one act? I can't comprehend it, really. I sent the parents a note but it feels so unlikely. How much more sickening it is when it is someone you know!
On that unhappy note, I am going to try to get some perspective and blueberry tea. Come and join me in a cup.
