My Week In Review…
Anyone else completely freakin irritated by the federal government rewarding financial giants for their fiscal irresponsibility? This whole thing just makes my blood boil. So, they are banks, S&L’s and other financial institutions - basically, they are businesses who have one focus, ‘money management’ and they have done it so poorly, that the feds are having to step in and ‘fix’ it. Yeah, I want to trust my money to professionals who can’t even manage their own finances and spend responsibly, SIGN ME UP!
Gah!
So much of this whole ‘bailout’ business just makes me want to scream. I say, let em burn. They made their bed, its time to let them lie in it. Make them sell of pieces of themselves in order to continue to do business - or make them downsize and cut payroll, like every other business in the U.S. is being forced to do to survive. Where was the bailout this past December when John’s company was forced to lay off 50% of their workforce? Where was it in January when they discovered that the layoff wasn’t enough, so every employee, including the executives, were forced to take a reduction in pay in order to continue operations? There was no federal bailout then!
What about all of the companies, outside of financial institutions, which have been impacted by the irresponsible fiscal decisions that were made during the ‘housing bubble’ - blue collar workers, like construction companies and manufacturers - how will this bailout help them?
It doesn’t appear to and it really pisses me off!
(ha, this isn’t turning out to be a very good ‘week in review’ post, is it?)
Anyway, so that has my cackles up right now. I don’t support the bailout and I don’t like the fact that the politicians making this decision don’t seem to be listening to their constituency when doing so. I also don’t like the fact that this is being done as a ‘rush job’.
Arg. As you can see, I am fairly worked up over it all!
Other than the bailout fiasco, my week was fairly uneventful. I went to the Dr. Tuesday for blood work, then Friday for the infusion. I had that ‘thing’ last week, which I said went really well…I am looking forward to the follow up to that 
. So, that’s about it. Laundry is done, the house is clean and I got all caught up on my TiVo stuff. The week wasn’t as bad as it could have been, that’s for sure…
Ok, so maybe it did make a difference?
Yeah. Uh…Entire kitchen, living room, dining room, entry way, bathroom(s) and laundry room = mopped.
Entire refrigerator emptied, shelves removed, washed down completely.
All cabinet fronts, interior cabinet shelves and counter tops = cleaned.
It’s 10:35 AM and I only have one load of laundry done.
In a second, I am going to vacuum. Something I normally have John do.
All of this without even a CUP of coffee. Holy Cow!
I also made cinnamon roles (rolls, see!) for breakfast.
Even if it isn’t the sudden influx of iron, it could totally be the B-12 shot they gave be yesterday. Wow.
Well, I am glad all of this is done…I was going to go to a friends at noon, but was teetering back and forth, because I had so much I needed to do around here…who knew it’d be done!
I’m Ok!
Sorry I didn’t write/update yesterday. I did go to work but I wasn’t feeling real great. I did have a minor reaction to the infusion - they had to do it IV, because the lady who typically does the picc lines was out and I agreed to go ahead with the IV. Thankfully, the lady only stuck me once, but there is a big knot where she stuck me and it really hurts.
Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience…I don’t feel miraculously better or anything like that.
Anyway, I have a lot going on today, so I am off
