Although change is good – because everyone tends to get stagnant and stale – I don’t take well to when things do/are changed. XM radio and Sirius finally merged so when I got into my car this morning, I was thrown for a loop. The Audio Visions (ambient music) channel I adored is now called “Spa” and it’s almost entirely unlike the old channel. Also, they changed the names of a few of my favorite channels and they became obvious titles instead of the fun ones. (i.e. Lucy became Lithium – it was the best of early 90s alternative/grunge.) I am disappointed and yet, pretty happy about some things. I think I get the Martha Stewart channel and also, I now have NPR! Woot!

Our Veteran’s Day was pretty good. Took Elliot to the park mid-morning and met up with a friend of mine and her kids (8, 18 months, 5 months) and Elliot was pretty taken with the Rubber Stuff on the ground. He’s teething something fierce so whatever got his mind off crying – I didn’t care if he was playing on the eqipment or not. I tell you, everyone said molars were rough and you know, they weren’t lying. While he sifted the recycled tire through his hands, I made faces at Lanie – the 5 month old – and she really liked me. Kind of made me feel ok about having a girl, were that the case for next time around. I guess I’ve been so used to feeling anti-girl child that I haven’t really stopped to think that it may not be so bad and really, what’s my problem with it anyway? yeah, I just don’t know.

It’s cool and overcast today; I had a bagel for breakfast. I only slept 5 hours. My carpal tunnel is flaring up. I have a lot of work to do. I am craving biscuits and gravy. And that is what I am right this second. How about you? Right at this very moment…
