Ugh

So much for hope. Today was one of those days I would gladly have given up the memory of to some memory-sucking monster/witch, in order to get one of my comrades' souls back from hell or something like that. What I'm trying to say is, today sucked. Depressing though not entirely unexpected election news (despite many a friend's and fellow blogger's attempt to put a positive spin/silver lining on things, I still feel the pull of despair), lots of crap to do, and on top of everything else, I'm still sick and getting worse. Even the eternal inexhaustible optimist in me had a tough time today. But ok, I'll try. I guess my ray of sunlight in the literally dark and stormy day was going to my OB appointment and 1) getting to hear the baby's heartbeat, and 2) getting a prescription for antibiotics. Wish I could give our country an antibiotic for this odd malaise of insular, xenophobic, warmongering, ignorant intolerance that half of us seem to have contracted. Ugh. I don't even want to talk about it.

In other news, I finally posted all those Halloween pix (and misc others), as promised. The link's right there on the right. Go look at how cute my kid is...maybe you'll feel better. And then maybe you can make me feel better.
