I’ve been trying to come up with a reason to post for the last couple of hours and honestly can’t think of anything meaningful — or pointless, for that matter — to write about. I briefly considered a condensed biography of Joseph P. Kennedy or some snarky political remarks about creepy Herman Cain (who I seriously can’t stand), but instead I think I’ll waste your time discussing this week’s upcoming routine events plus our plans for Thanksgiving.
The aforementioned routine events include Sam’s final trip to the endodontist on Thursday for root canal on a molar and I’ve got an appointment to see Dr. M on Friday morning to figure out what to do next with my blood sugar. Where Thanksgiving is concerned, once again Sam and I are dining alone at home with food from Boston Market. We’ve grown to love this annual ritual, during which I get to carve a turkey in my bathrobe, eat barefoot in front of the TV and don’t have to share leftovers with ANYBODY.
(Point of reference: I’m the one wearing the bathrobe … not the TURKEY.)
And now for something thoroughly confusing. According to several major news websites it seems that GOP candidate Newt Gingrich — God help us — is rising in the polls. To me, there’s only one possible explanation: this means he’s a little less revolting than everybody else, but certainly not by much. I think somebody needs to remind Republican voters about Gingrich’s extensive list of shortcomings, which includes outrageous arrogance, a terrible first name and the fact that he dumped his former wife when she was in the hospital with cancer.
And now I think I need something to eat. I’ve already had today’s allotted chunk of halva so I’m thinking maybe I’ll make toast or heat a can of soup. (I’d actually prefer sugar-free lemon jello but I don’t have any.) Thank you for reading this.
