Pain & Suffering

Today I'm having an ultra-shitty day. I just watched John Kerry give his concession speech. 'Nuff said. I can't even put into words how depressed I am about this. Living where I do, its easy to forget that the rest of the country is so conservative they can't see beyond their Bibles and their gunracks. How depressing to see the west coast and the upper east quadrant of the map in blue and the entire rest of the country in red. Appropriate though: red ink. That's what we are wallowing in. And the blood of soldiers.

That's the big picture. My teeny tiny split screen picture is no prettier. My back is still killing me (thanks to Canada for producing 222's) and it looks like I'm not going to get that extra consulting job. Because the controller at the company was too conservative -- he wanted the safety of using an agency instead of paying less money and having more flexibility with an independent consultant. He's probably a Republican. Fuck.

Did I mention AF arrived yesterday? Baseline U/S is tomorrow morning. Yeah, I can't wait to take both Clomid and Gonal-F in the same cycle. Get ready for psycho-bitch on wheels.
