A Pleasant Day, Otherwise [2011 original with AI background]
Oversleeping is anxiety-inducing and I have it by the truckloads this morning. After a rough day yesterday that had me dizzy and puking, I slept right through the kids getting up and ready for school. Fortunately, Kat was awake and saw them off without any issue. Still, not only do I feel horrible for having missed them, but I feel as though I have to rush to catch up with the things that need to be done today. That’s silly since there’s nothing overly pressing on my calendar, but that’s the way my brain works.
The kids did have a good weekend. G was a sewing fiend; if you see Kat, she’ll show you his handiwork. Tipper had a movie date to see the new Transformers movie. I was asleep when she got in, though, so I can only assume that it went well. She’s back in school this morning, so we’re hoping that goes well.
Apparently, there were a couple of tornadoes across the state yesterday, but none of them were close to here. I’m not sure we got a quarter of an inch of rain here; it was spotty. There’s more moisture in the atmosphere, though, so we could see some scattered showers this afternoon and more heavy rain tomorrow. Welcome to Autumn.
Since I’m already running late, I won’t linger much over the news this morning. Lebanon says Israeli airstrikes killed at least 100 people and let’s just go ahead and say the war is now regional. Stop pretending that this is merely a defensive maneuver on Israel’s part. We need a cease-fire and we need it now.
This is Banned Books Week and if you’re not putting banned books in the hands of your kids, especially your teens, are you really parenting? New U.S. State Laws Are Fueling a Surge in Book Bans, Reports by Activists Say. If other parents want their kids to grow up to be closed-minded idiots, there’s not much we can do about that. Our kids don’t have to be ignorant, though. Buy the books. Discuss the books. Let them learn.
Congress managed to avoid a shutdown of the government late last night, but there’s no reason to celebrate. This is only a three-month stop-gap bill. Come December, we’ll be having the same conversations again. This is a stupid way to govern. Remember this nonsense when you vote.
The Colts managed to win! Honestly, this was one of the most boring games I’ve seen in quite a while. The fact that the Horse won has less to do with their superior ability and more to do with who made the fewest mistakes. The whole game was sloppy and at this point, I’m pretty sure either team could be beaten by any of the top five college teams. Yeah, it was that bad.
KC pulled out a win over Atlanta, but they’re still not close to playing championship football. The Chiefs simply are not playing up to par. Dare I say that Mahomes is starting to look old? They’re going to have a rough season if they can’t play better than they did yesterday.
Who did play well? The Rams. When I checked in at half-time, I didn’t figure there was any way they’d beat the 49rs. Boy, was I wrong. The second-half highlight reel is nothing short of spectacular. Rams come back and win it, 27-24, in an exhibition that proves they need to be taken seriously.
Have I typed enough for you this morning? I hope so. I’m already starting to feel tired again. The skies are going to be mostly cloudy, so that will make sleeping easier. Maybe I’ll actually wake up on time in the morning.

Let’s see if I can keep breakfast down, though.
