Tired again tonight. Went out to Polly's and did a whole bunch more laps...in the rain. It was a pretty nice evening. The water was just the right temp, although it seems like the rain created some nice wave action in the pool. I did 15 laps to begin with and then kept kinda doggie paddling slowly for another hour or so. Did some pull-ups on the diving board, etc.

Did y'all do a little dance when you heard that Gonzales had resigned from the Justice Department. Good freakin' lord. Was it about time, or what? The man was incredibly incompetent, and he was further dragging the administration down. If that's possible. It seems, though, that this administration is a bit on the cancerous side, and that people get leave it in order to save themselves when they just can't take it anymore, lest they wind up like Scooter Libby. I don't know if any of that makes sense or not. I don't want to use the same tired cliches of rats leaving a sinking ship, but I suppose that's exactly what it is.

The month is almost over, and I'm once again asking myself what the heck I'm doing. I don't know the answer to that. I suppose eventually I have to figure it out. This inertia has to eventually break.

There's a lot that I want to say, but right this minute I can't figure out how to put it all into words. I'm all jumbled. Perhaps because of the lunar eclipse. Maybe due to the upcoming anniversary of Katrina. Maybe due to a rather icky situation with the writing project.

Interesting article about the impact of global warming on one of my very favorite things--wine. I like me some pinot noir...and I like the higher alcohol contents. But. I've not made up my mind about global warming. I don't know if it's really a problem or just another cycle that we're going through. You know that I read that book Collapse last year, right? I just don't quite know what to believe about it.

I'm itchy. I think that perhaps it's time for me to stop using the lovely scented soap from BBW and go back to my oatmeal Aveno.

Also some interesting articles about mothers and daughters and body image. I'm fat. And I'm OK with my body. I wish it were smaller, and I keep thinking that I have to change that. But I'm not ashamed of the person I am in this world. I don't feel like I'm less because I'm more. Even with its flaws, my body is perfect the way it is...and someone's idea of what it should be doesn't really come into play for me. I'm not sure where that has come from, but I'm glad it's here.

And I think that's it for tonight.
