Wasn’t thinking about posting
anything tonight but then I read a blog and realized that for some odd reason it just perked me up to read about someone else’s life who I don’t know at all… so what the hell! ha! Maybe this is why the internet is a good thing.
So I’ll start by patting myself on the back, because that is just oodles of fun (and hell nobody else does it and I’d hate to feel left out). I actually should pat J on the back because he is the one who gets my ass in gear. We got up at 5ish… didn’t shower, drove to P-town (where I work), ran around a 5K loop…it’s actually really pretty…it’s by a round body of water (don’t really know what it is, but it’s somehow linked to the ocean, eventually), and surrounded by a boulevard of nice homes, mostly, on the other side. So you run around and look at wildlife and then you get bored and look at cars cruising the strip (though not nearly as seedy as that sounds). Anyway, the POINT is that I ran 3.1 miles this morning BEFORE WORK. Then I went to work all sweaty, with a red (maybe purple) face (I get wicked funny colored when I exert myself…to the point of people staring), showered, then went off to a meeting. I felt pretty good about myself, but pretty tired phsyically.
Next random subject: Gay Marriage. Maine had a referendum vote to repeal the gay marriage law that was enacted (some time). New England is pretty liberal as I’m sure you know, and I always think of Maine as pretty liberal or at least independent or at least “do what you want to do, just don’t bother me” and I like that. I lived many years in Virginia where I was constantly frustrated by the fact that the majority of people in teh state didn’t agree with me. I didn’t expect that to happen once I moved to Maine. Now we DO have Republican Senators but they are also the only SANE Republican Sentaors and I love them both. Senators Collins and Snowe, you rock! The only republicans I will probably ever vote for…Anyway… I’m pretty socially liberal and certainly think that gay couples have the right to health insurance, property.. ..whatver basic human rights that married couples have. And well, long story short, the vote went toward repealing the law and I, along with most people I know, are rather disappointed and maybe a little embarassed about it.
What else? Work has turned into this ridiculous place that for some reason I continue to choose to go.. oh yeah, for that thing called a ‘paycheck’ and that other thing called ‘health insurance.’ But at least at this point I realize the ridiculousness of it and just laugh about it. And if they fire me, all the better. FU925. Wouldn’t that be a great licence plate?
So it’s 7 pm and feels like midnight cuz the sun goes down at 5 now. I’ve drunken all the wine I bought last night and a neat little wine shop I found and so now all that is left is to work on my novel and get excited about the possibilities of really, like for real, saying FU to 9 to 5. And G-Night!
