Bright, sunshiny day

I've been busy. Really busy. My daughter started kindergarten a couple of weeks ago and I proceeded to be completely devastated and very proud. My son started 4th grade and I felt the same. Amazing how sad it is to watch kids grow up successfully.

After dropping them off, I cried my way to the airport to fly to Minneapolis (yay, pharmacy transactions!) to set industry standards for next year and talk to the government. The government stood us up, but we got decisions made for next year without them, so go us.

My husband managed to get hand, foot and mouth disease and then bronchitis, so I've been a single mom for the past two weeks. I have no idea how single moms do it without going stark, raving mad. And I discovered twitter and instagram, which are probably both very bad ideas, because people can not only "enjoy" my sarcastic bitterness on my blog, they can also enjoy it now on another source, and more frequently.

So that's what I've been doing. I was planning to writing a bunch of other crap, but I read the news about the shootings in Virginia. After the shootings here in St. Louis, then the additional gun violence throughout the country, I just don't see how people can justify NOT putting in place gun control laws. And it makes me numb and sad and exhausted to see all the senseless acts of violence that are made just that much easier by putting guns in the hands of people who shouldn't have them.

The Liquid Lunch

It's not what you think, honest. I'm drinking a big-ass smoothie today for lunch because I've been talking non-stop and the only time I can get to consume anything is if I drink it. Luckily I had an absolutely enormous breakfast, but I still want to punch someone. I wish this had vodka in it. Or crushed Xanax.
