howler

Remember the howlers in Harry Potter?  I just wrote one of those to one of my Senators.  You can guess which one if you'd like.  I'm not pleased with the fact that in the last week our imperious leader nixed pay raises for non-defense government workers, given $10k raises to the VP and senior appointed executive staff, not done anything on resolving the shutdown, then came out with a statement that the shutdown could last a YEAR!  Congress can override vetoes, they just need enough incentive to do it.

My other Senator doesn't need a howler.  My other Senator needs an exploratory committee and would make a better president than any of the democrats or republicans currently available.

things that are less than fun

1.  Having your foot swell up and become immobile 3 weeks after finishing off antibiotics for same symptoms.
2.  Having a large gauge needle stuck into an inflamed joint to extract fluid for testing (let me move it around a bit to get it in the right place)
3.  The next day having a needle stuck into each of two inflamed joints to insert cortizone into the joints.  I bet it didn't hurt as bad as kidney stones, but it hurt a lot!

So no, no exercise this week, not a bit.  Maybe on Monday if I'm luck!
