trying to not get too down. . . but the bad news keeps on coming. . .

saturday - second degree burn on foot.
monday - found out leatha died.
yesterday - governator is now talking about a TWO DAY monthly unpaid furlough for all state employees lasting through july 2010 (the one day a month mentioned a month ago was depressing enough!). you're talking about $2500 less take home a year for me.
also yesterday - majel barrett roddenberry died of leukemia.
last night - band aid took off part of the skin covering my blister.
today - foot hurts like hell and i'm limping. hopefully neosporin keeps me infection free.
also today - wolf was told his last day will be december 31.

trying to focus on the positive. . . .
i was wearing a sock when i spilled the boiling water on my foot. lucky for me, or i would have experienced my first personal ER visit.
leatha died in her sleep. peacefully. if it's going to happen, that's the best way to go IMO.
i have a union that will fight that bastard. and as ersigh reminded me, thankfully he cannot run for president.
i was lucky enough to have met majel at jimmy doohan's farewell convention. and i have a signed figure and photo. and she recorded the computer voice for the new movie already.
lucky for me i had neosporin and one large gauze pad handy.
at least wolf got some sort of notice, and they're offering a good reference.

now if i could get this stupid beyonce song out of my head i could get through the rest of the day.
