Pondering

Vetoed

We just got one of our bills vetoed by the Governor's office that stated our bill would result in significant Proposition 98 General Fund cost pressures. Umm.. okay. Weren't we prancing around the entire Capitol community with songs and phrases about how our bill was a fiscal bill with NO costs? Thanks for ignoring us for the past several months. Now I wonder whether or not children that are at risk of abuse and neglect will be placed on priority for child care services. There is already paid programs for child care services in California, our bill was just to ensure that children under JCS who are at risk or neglected be placed under priority. Since when is there a cost in placing children on priority lists? Muy buenos, Governor.

Weekly Rants

Monday Monday

I'm wearing glasses. You know what that means. I woke up feeling awful. My body is still aching. I'm starting to worry that this might be a long term thing. I need a full time job with health benefits, pronto. That's the common story of a 20-something-year old with no health coverage in America.

Better Weather

We've got some sun in today and the temperature is currently in the high 80s here in the state capitol. Mermaid is heading to LA soon, I wonder how the weather is down there. Lucky her! I wish her the best of luck, even if she doesn't need it. I can't wait for when she comes back. I LOVE hearing about her adventures. They're always so bold and exciting. Makes me feel so lame with my blah life. The only thing I got going for me is... myself. =P Other than that, I'm still not feeling so well. I feel so crappy since I haven't been logging my miles. I wonder how my body will feel tomorrow.

Abrupt change in weather

What's with this sudden cooler weather? My body is achy. I hate how my body cannot adjust to sudden changes in weather. My joints are in pain and my stomach feels funny. I need to listen to my body today and take a break from logging my miles or this day will not end well.
