Rain, changing to...
sleet, then snow. That's what is forecast for us overnight and tomorrow.
I can hear the rain against the window now...
Winter's Last Hurrah.

Upset, worried, yet resolute.
It really worries me that the present administration will go to great lengths to try to shut down any opposition or even criticism.
They have "threatened" (I don't know how to say this actually) TV stations that might run the moveon.org ads.
They are pressuring John Kerry to "name names" of world leaders that have, in confidence, mentioned to Kerry that they want him to win the election in November.
I can't put my finger on it, but it feels like this administration has a feeling of "let's play nice" ... but by its own rules. Don't criticize President Bush or his administration--it's unpatriotic...and illegal...and dangerous. They want niceness, they want "civility". If anyone dares criticize the awful record Bush has both domestic and foreign, they are considered being overcritical, perhaps even treasonous.
Okay, I may be over-reacting, but that's how it's feeling right now.
Everything feels so awful about the upcoming election, that all I know is that even if I turn a deaf ear to all the excess mud-slinging, I still know how I'm going to vote. That's final.

More med. stuff
Saw my doctor today. Cat'r took me. The doc and I planned out the next two weeks of what we're doing for moving me over from the one med. to the other.
I really feel better about seeing him in person rather than just a phone call. So much can be lost in a phone call, and I was starting to think he wasn't really listening to me/hearing what I was trying to tell him. This visit reassured me.
Cat'r went back with me. I usually do have either Cat'r or Bunnicula go back to the room with me, as I sometimes don't remember everything that I want to say or what the doc tells me. It helps. And it feels more like a team effort. :-D
