I have had laryngitis for the last 2 days. If you work in a call center and can't talk, then it's sick time. I'm also much with the tiredness. That last sentence makes me ashamed of myself. Yet, I leave it. Take that, grammar shame. You will not defeat me.

I have been invited to continue on as chat mod. Huzzah!

I've been really busy the last couple of days, but not with anything of import to the world at large. But important enough for my time. I've been watching Across the Universe all evening, wishing I was able to sing along with it. I did do some self recording the other day and realized that it's been almost 12 years since I sang anything seriously and I no longer have a sense of pitch when I sing and I need to FIX IT. It's rather embarrassing.

I drank a lot of tea today and now I am tired but not sleepy. Way to go, me. I also slept a good part of the day. Eh, it's alright. Late night, late morning. NO CALLS OR TEXTS BEFORE 11 my time, please.

My bother called me today and asked me to visit this weekend since my sister and her kids were going up. It's really tempting. I don't know his kids as much as I would like to, and their 5th is on the way. It's kid of people like my brother and his wife that make it unnecessary for me to spawn. They have replaced themselves, myself, my monk younger brother and one other person in the current population. I dig my brother, he's a good guy. But I'm pretty sure he makes the Tea Party look like Socialists with his social and political views. If you haven't noticed, I tend to lean to the left. I really think of myself a one of the few members of The Sanity Party. It's fun to watch us go at it though, because we are rational people and while they are heated, we have discussions. We don't fling insults, we don't interrupt. We do laugh at each other, but it's civil and educational. We should be examples to all.

I got a call from my loan officer today, and it was fruitful. and it quelled many of my frustrations.
