Been such a long week, I don't even know where to start.

I've been having trouble sleeping lately. Laregly because my sinuses have been acting up and I've been running a fever forever, it seems like. Could also be due to the fact that I haven't eaten a decent meal with vegetables and everything since I don't know when. Started taking vitamins again and that's helped, some. At least I've avoided any bizarre dreams.

Didn't get as much accomplished as I would have liked. Can't get behind the wheel when your head's all foggy from sleep deprivation. But I did get enough blackberries picked to make a cobbler, and I baked cookies several times this week. [hmm, I guess I know why my diet isn't working.] Next week I'm going to work on cleaning out my bookcase. It would be nice to have room to actually put some books in it. :)

With all the time I've had on my hands lying in bed staring at the ceiling, I've been doing a lot of thinking. Mostly on the nature of adulthood. Why does it seem like we keep extending adolescence? I guess it was some of the post VT discussion that brough it to mind, people complaining that college kids' medical records couldn't be released to their parents. Thing is, these "kids" are 18 and over. They are legally adults. They can vote, they can drive, they can work and pay taxes. If parents want their offspring to agree to certain responsibilities in exchange for financial assistance, that's fine, but why should they be legally responsible for someone of that age? Does. Not. Compute.

I've been so busy lately. I keep thinking, "hey, I should post about so-and-so," but then I get distracted by shiny objects and forget.

Nancy Pelosi absolutely broke the law and should resign or face impeachment. Will it happen? Of course not. And I suspect that the next Democratic preisdent is going to really frickin' regret it when a Republican speaker returns the favor. ;P

Speaking of presidents, I'm really liking Fred Thompson. I hope he runs. I don't trust McCain, Giuliani's too liberal, and Romney's a flip-flopper. In fact, if one of those three is the final candidate, I may have to vote Libertarian.

Above average hurricane season predicted this year, but that's what they said last year. This year, I suspect they're going by actual weather patterns rather than covering their arses in case of another Katrina. At the same time, theNOAA is predicting continuing drought for this area. We had a solid rain today, but the way I've noticed groundwater levels dropping, it will take more than a couple of inches every other week to keep things green.

I've managed to incorporate more exercise into my life and I've started drinking more water. Next goal: eating at least three servings of fruits and vegetables every day.

I tried going to bed earlier, but despite my best efforts, my body wats to stay up late and sleep in in the morning. But then, I already knew it didn't respond well to reprogramming.
