I am an attorney. Yes, really. I worked for the Department of Corrections for 7 years and was never named in a lawsuit by an inmate. I don't know how this happened, some would say that I must not have been doing my job well enough.
But, I've finally done it. I have been named in a lawsuit by a student in one of my colleges! Yippee!
It also appears that I have finally done it in another way - I believe I'm sick. I never get sick. And when I do get sick it is generally just for a day or a half day. I have a remarkable immune system for some reason. But the last two days I woke up with a stuffy nose and yucky throat. I believe that I am, officially, and undeniably, sick. This comes at a bad time (is it ever a good time?) as I have a full day and am fully scheduled until 8pm tonight. Luckily, I took tomorrow off so that I could spend some time with my mother so at least I can sleep in tomorrow.
Also, for those of you who might have been confused about my stance on beauty yesterday. I am not saying it is a purely negative thing. It is just that I have a complicated relationship to looking good. It is not always a positive thing for me, but it is something I am always striving for - so I am learning to deal with it. Or trying to - a big test will come the next time I am asked out by someone I am not interested in. The old me would simply say yes and go, or give my office number and try to weasel out of it some other way. The new me plans to look the person in the eye and say politely but firmly, "no, thank you." Some people take the time after their divorce to go out and hook up/date whomever is interested. It is my challenge to only date those who interest me and to tell the myriad others (I am somewhat picky, dear reader) that I am not interested.
Of course, this is all assuming that anyone asks me out!
Take care, dear reader. I'll be huddled up with a bowl of chicken noodle soup...
