Oh to be healthy again...

Made it through another day seemingly on the way to feeling better. I'm at about 70% now up from 65% before lunch so I feel "slightly" better. I'll tell you one thing that's amazing, I'm taking this Claritin-D 24 hour stuff and let me tell you, that 23rd hour you KNOW it's fizzling out. After being able to breathe freely for a whole day, BAM!!! All stopped up. To help things along, I am staying pretty hydrated with water and juice. Still, I've been wearing my glasses the past few days because the drying effect of the antihistamines plays hell with my contacts.

Enough with the sick talk.

How about politics? I'll throw my .02 out there. With all the controversy and hype of the upcoming election and the main candidates, any political discussion can quickly escalate into something people take personally as is evidenced by reading some of my friend's blogs. To me, the problem stems from the fact that each of us have a different idea of what we feel the important issues are. Therefore, we are apt to go along with the candidate whose ideas line up with the issues that are particularly important to us. For example, one thing that is very important to me is legislation relating to guns. I am very pro-gun so I keep an eye on that stuff. Gay marriage legislation? Don't care. Not interested. Not important to me. What it boils down to is that I don't feel the need in politics to convince others to go the same way as me. No one candidate has all the right answers. I'm just going along with the one who is most likely to think the same as I do on the issues that are important to ME.

How's that for short and sweet?

On another note, watched some of The Bachelor tonight. Wow. Someone nominate me to be on that show. I'd make ya'll proud.
