Blogiversary etc.

I forgot my own blogiversary. Two years! (well at this point it's two years and two days) The great thing about this (for me) is that I can go back and see what was happening one year ago, and now two years ago too! Sometimes I check back and think, "It seems like this was just a couple weeks ago." The older the mind, the faster time slips through it.

Both spouse and I came down with colds yesterday. And when I say came down with, I really mean slugged and pummeled by. Something else we brought back from New York I imagine.

You know how the universe likes to play jokes on people? Yeah, well, here I am snotty and feverish, coughing and moany, and today(TODAY) a reporter from the local TV station is coming to interview me about the strike. The transit strike is set to begin tomorrow. The essential services council has deemed that "rush hour" service will still be in effect. The problem with that is that I need to travel around town during the day to get to my classes. So I reserved a car. This strike will cost me 1% of my annual pay for each week it drags on. This infuriates me as I have to take a pay cut in order for these (well paid, don't let anyone fool you) guys to get a pay raise. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Finally, Mom sent an old photo of me as a 2 and a half year old. She claims this was her first inkling as to my eventual orientation. I can't imagine why, lol.
