I should be asleep by now, but instead I'm waiting up to see what's going to happen with our government. Will there be a shutdown? Will an agreement be reached? I'm tired of hearing about it, but I'm too high strung to sleep tonight until I know. I'm disappointed in our government. That's all I'm going to say. Except maybe we just need a king and a queen instead of a House of Reps and a Senate. Just kidding. Kind of.
Violet's been sick again. She's ran a high fever for a few days and feels miserable. We haven't gotten much sleep and it definitely showed today. Shaun had piano this afternoon and I wanted to take Vi on a walk afterward. I thought fresh air would be good for her. So on the way to piano I called the doctor to make an appointment for tomorrow. Only the nurse told me I needed to bring her in today. My first thought: I can't go to the doctor looking like this! "This" meaning a semi dirty shirt, yoga pants, and my unwashed hair stuffed into my hat. Don't judge. Please. It was a bad day and I had no plans to get out of the car except at Wilshire Trails where no one would notice how I looked. But we wound up at the doctor's instead. I swear, everyone who came into that exam room did a double take and asked if I was alright... then they asked about Violet. I guess I looked that bad. Sigh. I was so tired that I didn't even care. And Violet just has a virus that has to run it's course.
I finally spent some time with my sister today. We exercised and went to Wal-Mart. I still hate running. I reached a new low. Instead of just wanting to cry, I actually did cry some tears. Ugh.
Eleven more minutes until the government shuts down. Oh, the tension.
