. . . with an impending hump on my back. Okay, not really. But it feels like it. I have managed to somehow injure my neck, and this time it was without the help of a horrid hick woman from Polk County running a red light. A very red light. But I'm not still bitter over that. Luckily. Anyway, yes, I can barely move my head. My body is protesting the schedule that my mind thought would be good for the old psyche - keep busy, engage in my surroundings, volunteer to do extra things.
Enough whining. So I got the house, and am moving. Or, at this point, soliciting help from large burly men who will be able to pick up my little green velour loveseat circa 1970 in one beefy hand. I'm excited. The house has a yard. The house also has the ugliest door in all of Wilmington. I like to joke about there being an Ugly Paint Store, but this door only proves that there is one, and I have never shopped there. Anyway, the door will be painted. And there is a yard. A yard! A huge yard. I'm very stoked about having this. The only downside to leaving the apartment is losing the pool. Whatever. I'll live. (Maybe.)
Dakota is sleeping on my lap right now. She managed to get herself locked in the closet under the stairs the other night when I had to pull out the vacuum. Spent all night in there and when I got up to feed the kitties, it took me several minutes of picturing her lifeless body in the jaws of an alligator before I figured it out.
So how about this political process? I am still torn between Obama and Clinton. Super Tuesday didn't help me any. NC doesn't vote until May - by then, hopefully I will have some idea of who I want, although I want them both. Can we have co-presidents? Neither of them can be the VP. It simply cannot be. But this is such a polarizing event, and people are actually interested, and if nothing else, at least the terrible presidency of Bush has pushed people into some sort of action. That is his legacy. Not a bad one - getting people to care and vote - but he will go down as one of the worst presidents ever. And he earned it.
