thought bucket

irony - last night i had everything ready for food day.  i was awake on time (EARLY).  and yet i stayed home today.  why?  because tho there was no reason to be, i was up every hour.  (which is why i was awake on time.)  and it wasn't for fun cookie time!  : (  i was crampy & not a happy camper every hour when i was awake!  so, finally i had to decide that there was just no way i was gonna make it.  i made all the calls - well, actually, i hemmed & hawed for another 1/2 an hour, because i figured if i was awake i could probably make it in!  then my tummy got crampy again and the decision was made for me!  


so i made my calls & went back to bed for most of the day.  


when i finally got up for reals this afternoon, i did some laundry & tried to do dishes, but forgot to pick up dish soap.  whoops!  will have to do that tomorrow.  i laid on the couch & read for a bit & finished season 7 of buffy, watched america's got talent and then a marathon of What Would You Do?.  tell ya what, that show can make ya think and can make ya CRY!  my last post was about one of the experiments, about abuse.  but the shows i've watched have also dealt with public breastfeeding, abandoned kids, discrimination against gay and lesbian families/a down syndromed bagger at a grocery store/a muslim couple looking for a house, women who couldn't afford their prescriptions at a pharmacy, sexual harassment at a restaurant, drunk pilots, and a potential predator at a park.  whew!  and i think i missed a couple... but yeah, a lot of them were emotional.  the ppl who stood up and those who didn't... some of them - an elderly man who appeared too disorented to drive - were more difficult to determine what i would do in similar situations.  some of them were easy, *snap* just like that i know what i would do, like the gals asking for ppl to breathe into their breathalyzer so their cars would start.  (Um, no.  on so many levels.  NO.)  


anyway, i must put up a post about the pickles & then go to bed.  tummy's felt pretty okay since i've been up, but i haven't really eaten much today!  i did make breakfast for dinner around 8... seems to be okay!  Lord willing, i'll continue to be right as rain, since i don't want to miss leyton time tomorrow!  : )  


goodnight & ttfn.
