Mid October Blues...

This week has been... uneventful? no... thrilling? not exactly... depressing? a little. I don't know what's going on exactly, but this week has gone on forever. The beginning of the week was very promising. Work was going fast, and there seemed a lot to do, but then someone was out sick for 3 days... 3 whole days! That's like being on your death bed (or maternity leave) for Onthank. Then West got sick with Croup. (Basically a nasty cold that settles around his tiny , still growing, vocal cords.) He never appeared sick other than the congestion and the barking cough. He really seems on the mend right now. Today has been the longest day of my life. I swear. I'm covering for another sick person on the order desk, so you'd think I'd be busy doing another person's job... but alas, it's not quite busy right now. Hell, it's not even steady right now in the distribution business. Get this... the economy is so bad now that Scott's job at the State Liquor Warehouse is slow! And October is their busiest month of the year. Yeah... as a state, Iowa is so poor that the people cannot afford to drown their sorrows in something stronger than beer, and the stores are barely buying. Now that's when you know America is in trouble.

On a side note... I really feel that my whole life right now is completely wrapped around a tiny little boy. I feel like I used to have something to say, but now everything is about Weston. And not that there is anything wrong with that, but I feel like I used to be more involved in the world. And now? Now I just don't care. I'd rather sit at home and look at my son. I don't even care who wins the election. I don't want a republican, but I'm not sure if I trust Obama or more precisely, Obama's experience. I don't feel like I know enough about either of them, and if either of them can do anything to fix our problems. I also have this sick feeling, that one way or the other, whomever is elected President will not be able to serve his 4 years, so I am almost ready to choose a President based solely on the VP candidate. In which case, I hope Sarah Palin is ready to head back to Alaska... you know, Russia's neighbor. I might just go to the library and vote early tomorrow, just to be done. So I can stop thinking and talking about it.

1 minute until I can leave work. Phew, another week of my life gone. Sad, really.
If you get a chance, please check out the South Side Confidential blog... my boss Ed's daughter Kelli is the author. She is high-larious! and very conscientious. trust me... read her blog. She's the type of write I used to dream of being. Now... I just dream of writing a cook book.
