This is my third one in a row.  They’re kind of nice.  Originally I wasn’t going to have today off, but that changed with Special Session.  Because I was there 16 hours I took today off.  The special session went alright I thought.  There was a lot of mismanagement.  The bill was already agreed to, and we had copies of it in our email inbox at about 2 am Tuesday morning (15 hours before the session started), but for some reason they hadn’t been able to print of 133 copies of it in that amount of time.  So we sat around in recess from 5:30 pm until about 11:15 pm.  The bill was passed in less than an hour.  I can only imagine that if the people in control would have not tried to change the bill and add in other things the Special Session could have been completed by 6:30 pm, and we could have been home by 9.  But I guess not.

An update on the house search:  As I mentioned before we put an offer in on a house. Our offer was rejected.  There were other offers on the house, and as far as we know the other offers have not been accepted yet.  The listing of the house online still says it is active.  But we are starting our search again.  We’ll find something I’m sure.

Today is going to be a good chance for me to clean up the apartment.  I’ve got some laundry drying right now, and if we had more quarters I’d put another load in.  (Yet one more reason I’m looking forward to a house: you don’t have to put quarters in the machine every time you want to do laundry!)  And I should do some homework today.  I’ve got some reading to do for class.  But I’m just about done with Ronald Reagan’s autobiography.  I’ve got about 5o pages left and I’m sure I’ll finish that this afternoon as well.

It’s time for me to get moving on the lots of things that need to get done.  Happy Thursday!
