I Can Live With This One

So, it's the day after an election and I'm doing okay this time around. Nothing can beat the sick drama of the 2000 or 2004 presidential elections, it helped knowing that no matter what happened yesterday it couldn't be worse than what happened in 2000 or 2004.

I am so disappointed that Michele Bachman beat Patty Wetterling in their Congressional race. She is just disgusting. I hope she does or says something so utterly stupid that by the time her two years are up it's obvious she won't be going back to Washington or any other elected position. It is this race that causes me the most despair. Whatever.

I'm not too thrilled about Pawlenty remaining as governor, either, but he had that incumbent edge. I can't imagine there are any fees remaining that can be raised that haven't been raised yet, just how is he going to cover the budgets for the next four years without raising taxes??

It's almost 10 a.m.--I wonder if Mark Kennedy has conceded his race yet? LOL! That's nice that his family doesn't think he's an asshole, they're probably the only ones.

As for some of the national races, this is not the place. I defer to DailyKos, or better yet Stephen Colbert or Jon Stewart.

In other news, I had my appointment at the Tria clinic yesterday. I was referred there by my doctor for my hip pain. It's the large, very obvious building at 494 and France. Modern, very slick, with local sports teams posters and sports memorabilia on all the walls. Maybe all the pros go there? If not, they are really trying to make you believe that they do.

Good news--as my primary doctor predicted, the specialist agreed that my pain is most likely due to bursitis, something I can deal with either by taking over the counter anti-inflammatory medicine, special stretches, or occasional cortisone shots. Easy! I had been concerned that my pain had something to do with the weird bone growth I have on that hip and might require surgery to have it removed but that was not the case. What a relief! So, I just need to consider how I might want to fit the PT into my schedule, and decide whether I want to go in for another cortisone shot. Peace of mind is always a good thing.

I went to the Y last night, it's been weeks since I've been there. I was just exhausted by the time I was done, I'm just not in the shape I used to be. If I can keep myself in passable shape, when Anna is a bit older I know I can bring myself back. Maybe I can make it to that triple threat class on Saturday, if it's still offered. That would help.

All for now.
