Glass Houses, Stones, and Double Standards
I have really got to stop reading about the campaign because they get me so keyed up. I could write a long entry every single day about the craziness that's going on, which would certainly be annoying to all of you, and although a release for me, not so much fun on this end either. I'm going to let my title stand on its own today and not expand on it, at least for today.
I have a sinus headache that is threatening to work its way out of my face, Alien-style. I don't get migraines, but I do get sinus-triggered migraines, which I expect this to be by tomorrow morning. What gets rid of a really bad sinus headache? In my experience, the key ingredients are a good decongestant, advil, and caffeine. All of which are forbidden to me for one reason or another, but tomorrow, I'll probably start a nasal spray decongestant for a couple of days; I don't think it'll do much, if anything, to my blood pressure. If I'm really in pain, I'll have a cup of real coffee, too; again, one cup won't hurt me that much. Advil, sadly, is all in the past for me, because that would have an immediate and very bad effect. So that's my story.
K is stressing out over the lesson plan she has to write for this week, and I'm being drawn in one way or another. Now, thinking up creative-type lessons is really one of my favorite worky things to do, but trying to meet the requirements of her assignment which wasn't explained well to begin with is not my idea of fun.
It's after six, so I suppose I should eat something or other. I'd like to get my lunch together tonight too, but I think I've done that once since school started, so I probably won't. Not so hard to do in the morning, anyway.
I Love Lucy is on, which is a show I have been watching for literally all of my life. Is this a universal thing? I mean, has everybody born since 1951 been watching I Love Lucy all of their lives? I still think it's funny, that Lucille Ball was a genius (of that sort of thing) and that it was so incredibly well-cast and well-made. I'm just saying. I mean, if there's nothing on, watching I Love Lucy is like putting on a comfortable old robe. I'm just saying.
WATCHING I LOVE LUCY :: ENTRY #1871
READING: Dear Senator by Essie Mae Washington-Williams
Are my entries bugging you? Sorry. I have a big mouth when I feel passionate about something.
ReplyDeleteI loved Lucy, too! As for sinuses, try a really steamy shower, and try to inhale through your nose as much steam as you can! Let the hot water beat on your face, too.....
ReplyDeletei love lucy too!! i been watching lucy all my life also, along with the yearly pilgrimages to the wizard of oz, and the jerry lewis telethon! as for them sinuses, well, what i do, but i dont know if you can do this too, but, when i get sinus congestion, i open a bottle of ammonia, and take a sniff, clears em right on up!
ReplyDeleteDifferent times, different customs. I'm enough older than you that I should be a real Lucy fan, but I never got there.
ReplyDeleteLucy was on at 9 on Monday nights; we were not allowed to watch TV that late on a school night. When summer vacation came around and we could stay up till 10, "My Little Margie" was in that time slot. Those were strange days when they seldom repeated shows but used replacements instead.
I've enjoyed a few Lucy shows since that time, but I never got into the groove.
Speaking of Lucy, I read an article that described McCain as Fred Mertz. I wish I could remember where!!!
