I took a mental health day today. Yesterday was stressful and all night I couldn't sleep due to one thing or another. Leg cramps, loud people downstairs, too hot, too cold, etc. So when my alarm went off at 7:10 I was still really tired and decided that I could use a lazy day to myself. I ended up sleeping until noon, getting my act together, and going shopping. It was nice to just roam stores and not have to be anywhere or have anything specific that I had to buy.
After I got home, I cleaned the house a bit so it could be all pretty when Dave came home, then continued reading. I'm currently reading Emily of New Moon, by L.M. Montgomery (yep, the Anne of Green Gables author). It's a pretty good book, but the descriptions of nature can get overly long. I like reading Montgomery's books to get a true glimpse of victorian life. By writing about what she saw every day, she managed to pass on a pretty strong sense of the time period. How things change in one hundred years . . .

Ah, the end of my quiet week at work. It's been nice, but also really boring.
What's planned for this weekend? Other than three hours of tutoring Saturday afternoon, absolutely nothing! So call me.

Why do I feel tired at 7:10 in the morning, when I've just gotten a full night's sleep, but am wide awake at 11 pm, when I should be in bed?

So here it is, the list of very random candidates for the CA recall election. I think the best part is one of these people, technically, could win with less than one percent of the vote since there are over 100 candidates. I'm voting against ousting Davis, but whom to pick just in case? A politician, porn star, actor, or random nobody? So hard to choose . . .

I love birthday celebrations! This past weekend, we celebrated for Diane, Dave, and HT. Saturday night we hit Club Sugar, which is noted for having one of the ten top bathrooms in the world, according to the Travel Channel. I was not so impressed. The window between bathrooms is kinda entertaining, but I would have preferred working door locks and toilet seats that were still attached to the toilet. Still, the club was really cool. Good size, interesting crowd, good music, and tasty drinks! Too bad it was Dave's night to get wasted (which he did quite well) as I really liked the soju creations that they had. Ahh, well, next time. I had a lot of fun just running around, visiting people and dancing. Got to spend some hanging with Greg, which is always good. And HT looked very fetching in his new red beret. :)

I got this from my friend Faithy. Haven't researched if it's true, but sounds pretty legit:
Please spread the word. Everyone needs to know.
-----------------------------
Everyone is talking about the recall election and
the madness, but there's a measure on the October
7 election that's not really getting any news
time and it's super important. It's Proposition
54, and the supporters keep calling it
the "Racial Privacy Initiative." It has nothing
to do with that. It was written by the same man
who proposed Prop. 209 that banned affirmative
action and he's at it again. What Prop. 54 does
is make it illegal for every single state
department, from education to employment to
health services, to collect information about
race, ethnicity, color, or national origin--
except the police department. So there will no
longer be any legal evidence to prove
discrimination, but the police can still continue
to racially profile people of color.
And there's more. It's going to jeopardize the
healthcare system. There are certain diseases
that are more prone to ethnic communities and if
Prop. 54 is passed, there will be no way to track
it. Do Latinas have higher rates of breast cancer
than the general population? Are Chinese and
white women more prone to osteoporosis? Does the
black community have greater risk of suffering
HIV/AIDS? What about minority women with lupus?
All proven through statistics that would be made
illegal by Prop. 54.
There's much, much more, but I've talked for too
long so visit this web site for more:
http://www.informedcalifornia.org/
Please pass this message along to your friends
and register to vote if you haven't done so
already (or re- register if you've moved).
October 7 is coming up real soon. Even if you're
going to be away for college like me or
something, you can vote by absentee ballot.
No matter how you vote on the recall election,
vote NO against Prop. 54!
Thanks for reading this message.
