Dawn's Digression.

I'm trying to decide what I want to talk about.
I think the first thing I have to say is that I hate C@refree gum. I just ate 6 pieces within five minutes. It's just impossible to chew. Stupid cheap (nasty) gum.
My weekend was pretty good. Actually, I suppose I should say it was great. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to check out the pictures or upload any. I don't know that I will tonight either. And tomorrow night I'm going to see Melissa Ferrick. Wednesday night I won't feel like doing it because I've been busy all week and Thursday is Survivor. I have no idea when I'll get around to that. Sorry. I even have a couple of cute pictures. I think.
We ended up going to the Japanese Gardens twice. I was relieved she enjoyed it as much as I did. She really got off on the Koi's ambitious appetite. Dang, I need pictures. I'll try to get on that. If we had any kind of disagreement this weekend, I certainly don't remember it. We only went to visit Granny once. But it wasn't because I was being a bad person, it was because Granny has requested no visitors...and while I'm 'special' and all that, I still would make her tired. I did stay longer than the allotted 15 minutes when I went to see her, but she told my mother she was glad I was there. (Everyone except her children can only stay 15 minutes.) She doesn't seem to be doing all that well, but I don't really want to get into it right this minute. She hasn't been eating at all, and her left side is swollen, possibly from a blood clot. And that's all I know about that at this time.
The Museum of Science and History blew. Blew hard. Chulie, if you're still planning to go, let me save you a few bucks. It is 100% geared to children now. No fun. None. Boring. Sucks. We did the planetarium, and it wasn't that great either. But not because of the program, just because of what it is. I wish that I could understand constellations, but I don't see it. They showed us the Cancer constellation, and why on earth that is called Cancer, I haven't a clue. I didn't see anything. Leo I could see the line of stars they were talking about, but it didn't look like a lion. I think I'll have to stick to making bunnies from clouds. Now that I love to do. Make little critters from clouds. Bummer. It's a clear day. I was thinking it would be great to go to the top level of the parking garage and look at some clouds. That sounds really relaxing.
I swear I am getting lazier by the day. It's bad. I don't want to do anything. I don't want to cook, clean, do laundry, get up in the morning. Nothing. I want to sit. I wonder if this is depression. Does depression come in this pattern, too? Because I know the pattern of depression I'm used to, and this is really different. It's probably just my own 'special' way of dealing. This too shall pass.
I am so sick and tired of anti-war protestors. There are reasons why I haven't brought up the war. The main reason is that I'm not sure I am educated enough and know enough about world politics to even pretend like I can talk about it intelligently. What I can talk about intelligently is people wasting their energy. I'm all about protesting. Go for it. If you don't like something, it is your right to protest it. But now the war has begun regardless of what you or I wanted. No amount of protests are going to cause the US to pull out of Iraq. It's not going to happen. What you are now doing is endangering everyone here by tying up police force to watch you complain about something that isn't going to change. Do you see how this doesn't make sense? Now that the war has begun, why not use the energy for something positive and constructive? And that's all I have to say about that. No more politics. (Except Arctic Drilling. I like to talk about that.)
I would like to take this opportunity to plug Super 8 Motels. We stayed in one for $52 including tax. There was a microwave and refrigerator. The room was large, clean, and comfortable. We had an iron, ironing board, and hair dryer. Super 8 isn't luxurious, but it is a great buy. We will gladly stay there again.
