Small Business

Not making a political statement here Alright, I am making a political statement here, but I just read this in my daily news update and had to share. There seems to be a problem here:


“If you got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen,” Obama said. "If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive."

The Downside of Living Alone.

Worst thing about living alone/reason #5,482 not to stay single:

ROACHES (i.e. palmetto bugs, i.e. bane of my existence)

I had to kill #3 tonight and it was a flyer. UGH! I may have accidentally hit Mims with a fly swatter when she tried to help me after it flew to the ground after my first swing (and miss) at it. She got the brunt of my 2nd failing swing. The 3rd swing got it to the leg flailing stage. And, thank goodness, the 4th took it out of it's (and my) misery.

All 3 have been found crawling in a higher place where Mims doesn't see them, so she's no help. Plus, I don't want my kitten eating roaches (ugh)! But alas, who knows how many she's gotten when I'm away!


Apparently bugs go on with their life even though you are in grad school and don't have time to spray your apartment. Gosh, can't they just be polite and leave my alone?! ;-)

Countdown

One month left in my first semester of PA school. One month until I am on a beach somewhere with a nonsense beach book in hand.

Mims and I are surviving thriving. She watches bugs out the window and gets the thrill of an occasional kill when one ventures in, while I chug along watching tests fly by and get the occasional thrill when I "kill" one. . . My kills take a little bit more work.

August 9th is RAPIDLY approaching!!
