So Not a Habit

I find myself not routinely posting to this blog.

Health News:

I am currently ANA negative. Three years ago, I was ANA positive. We're not sure if it was a false positive or if the autoimmune problem that I have currently isn't affecting me.

I am also currently suffering from vitamin b12 anemia, which may be the cause of mood disturbances, nerve damage, and fatigue. I get biweekly shots right now, and will for probably a couple months.

Political Stuff:

I am appalled by McCain and Palin. As for Palin, the theory that she was not the person who gave birth still seems viable, though it would be from a surrogate mother, not from her poor daughter. A family-values plank from McCain/Palin seems so hypocritical, as he cheated on his first wife and divorced her after she suffered terrible injuries in an auto collision. And she showed serious judgment flaws if she really did give birth to her 5th child away from NICUs, knowing she was carrying a Down's Syndrome baby. Was the family going to deny the baby surgery for any heart or digestive problems? And I don't know how she could have gone back to work after only 3 days, as recovering from birthing takes longer with each pregnancy.

Perhaps I'm just a wimp or have been in more strenuous working conditions, as it took me about a week to recover enough to return to school with the first two, back when I was young and in shape.

But the real reasons I'm appalled by McCain/Palin are that I'm for reproductive sovreignty belonging to the mother, I want a national single-payer health insurance program for everyone, trickle down economics just don't work, humans need to do much much more to preserve our environs, somehow the "war" on poverty instead became a war on the impoverished, and dammit workers deserve better.

Sadly, I'm not sold on Obama, and I'm not convinced that I'll vote for Obama/Biden either.
