Random thoughts

I'm sick - not the normal sick that I am all the time, but a really terrible, rotten, cruddy, awful cold. It has made me have to use my inhaler multiple times a day and that doesn't even seem to help much. My daughter told me about someone dying from doing a sinus rinse with a Neti Pot. I Googled it and it is true, although it was an amoeba (sp?) from using contaminated tap water. Still, a little disconcerting given that I am doing 2-3 sinus rinses every day. I do use distilled water, but still - a little nagging fear there.
Things I think about.
Friends. I have a lot of them, really good ones. I have been a good friend but lately I am not. I don't want to lose my friends but I just don't have the energy right now to be a good friend.

Politics. Well, it's election time. I always vote but don't always read the voter's pamphlet thoroughly. I tend to just go with my gut. I am liberal - and no, that is not just a choice I made or something I carried over from my parents - like religion. I have actually taken "tests" to see what my leanings are and I always come out as liberal. I find it a little funny since I could also be described as a goody goody. All of that said, the truth is, I am not good at debates.  I am just leaving the work to those more exuberant and confident people.  I'm not apathetic, but I'm sure my lack of involvement would indicate otherwise. Not everyone can be "that person". I'm not going to apologize that I am not.
Television. Yes, I know there are better things to do. Why do I watch so much of it? Partly because my husband does and it has become that thing we do together. Tomorrow I think I will pull out our UpWords game and try turning the television off for awhile.
