First off, let me say I do not find it funny in the least that people were calling tonight's Bronco/Steeler games Jesus vs Rapist or the Rape vs Prolife bowl. Both teams deserve more than to be summed up by their QB's (I hate Tebow and Rothelisberger equally for totally different reasons). It's rather soured my whole mood.

Of course the migraine that hit did it's share too. In a few more slides I'll have four chapters (two per class) then I can concentrate the rest of the week on my fast approaching deadline for tenure. I'm going to be cutting it CLOSE. I might try to work on the letter a little since the headache is dying down a bit.

It took me most of the day to get that done (along with a little vacuuming and cutting out the 430$ worth of coupons in the sunday paper).

I've sent out ch 1 of my novel to those who wanted to see it.

Mom is trying to be helpful but in some ways stressing me out. I'm not sure I want to look for a home this year. I couldn't pick a better time. There are homes selling here for less than what my car cost. But I still don't know if I want to live here forever. I jsut know the moment i buy a house my dream job will open up and i'll get it then I'll be stuck with a house I can't sell. But the reality is, I'm probably in this hell for life. (and yes i would leave my tenure if a job opened up somewhere I actually WANTED to live). She sent me this home. She would give me the down payment but I don't want to live in town. Though if I had to, at least my neighbors aren't too close. It's hurting my head and nerves just thinking about it. The older I get the jittery I get. It seems unfair.

on the yay side, ELD had my lost FMA scene captured in her IM program.

finally, the weight off. I'm the same weight give or take 5 pounds I was when I started this last year. So a year worth of failure. I know that my medical issues play a huge role in this but I'm putting out money this year.

I'm not sure if I blogged about this yet but on friday I talked to one of the coaches and got more info on their 'at risk' program for faculty. I'll be getting a private instructor (i.e. one of the wanna be coach/gym teachers) and a specialized program (written by our exercise physiologist) based on my medical issues. This is NOT a weight loss program. It's to improve my overall health. I'm hopeful. I need to do something, anything.

And I feel oddly good to learn this coach had the same surgery as I did within days of when I had it and we both have frozen shoulder. I feel less like it's MY fault. Here's an athlete (also diabetic however) with the same result.

I was amused tonight by The Simpson's as they had a mock Fox news ticker running in one scene that said 'Satan tweets support for Santorum' Yeah, I can believe that
