Randomly

Thank you for all the kind words about yesterday's entry. In fact, I have written my family stories in a book (although it didn't occur to me to copy yesterday's story from it; I just wrote it again) which I'm still in the process of re-formatting so I can get it published by one of the online publishers. When I originally wrote it, I actually just printed a copy for each family member I wanted to give one to and had them bound at Kinko's. It's not that long, and is just me telling about each person who has a story. I've mentioned it before. I'm still working on it, although not very diligently.

I just did some thinking, and I thought I'd tell you all that you really really need to vote for Barack Obama because listen: I have voted in nine presidential elections and I've only voted for the winner three times! So, I'm due to vote for a winner again, so please, think of me and cast your vote for Obama. Thank you. (Not to mention all those other reasons, like he's the best candidate and McCain/Palin scares the crap out of me. Thank you.)

Another day off today, and I slept later, but I was very tired all day. Still, I did some straightening up here and there -- no actual cleaning, don't worry, I haven't broken my streak -- and had the guy here to take care of the furnace before heating season starts. Didn't do much else.

K is starting to stress out over tomorrow, which is her first full day in the school she'll be student teaching in come spring. (This semester she has to observe for 60 hours.) She's making her lunch now, and I know will be laying out a half dozen outfits tonight and will end up wearing none of them. And is going in on Friday as well, but let's hope she's calmer after she's gotten one day under her belt. For now, I don't want to go anywhere near the kitchen until she's done, even though my dinner is all made, a nice chicken parmagiana that the kid herself made for dinner last night, so all I have to do is heat it up. But not while she's still in there. But I am starving, man.

Okay, so I'm going to eat a Viactiv calcium chew and hope that holds me over until I can get me some real food. Julia Child wouldn't take this long to make her lunch.
