injuries and strangeness


Some of you are aware of a problem I have with my wrist. Well, the docs in their infinite wisdom decided that I might have a blood clot and did an atrocious test shooting radioactive dye into my heart and taking pictures. Since I don't do well with needles (fainted every time) and was under a lot of stress, I weakened my immune system and managed to get whatever crud is going around.

Needless to say why I haven't felt like being online much.

Otherwise things are interesting. I am constantly surprised at the doom and gloom media coverage of the recession (and shocked at what people are saying it will do to my career). While I completely understand that there are problems, I can't see what stimulus packages will do to aid.

I bought my house and have worked very very hard to pay the mortgage every single month. I have never been late. The first few years it was pretty hard, but I knew that I was in it for myself. I never expected someone to come bail me out! I pay my credit cards every month, never been late, and they raise my interest rates. How is this helping? What I see many of these policies doing is to strengthen the ideas and fears of society which is going to make the recession worse, not better.

My dogs are good -- we had some medical issues last month. One had a tumor, but it was benign so we are happy. I've decided getting old sucks. The dogs start having problems, I start having problems ... I want to go back to afternoon naptime, homemade cookies, and smiling people.
