Election... and other things.

Might I just say that I am completely disgusted with politics at this point. On both sides. Or maybe all sides. I should have written in Chuck Norris or something like that. So we have a new president. Woohoo. Not who I would have picked to be certain. But to be honest, if Obama's president, it's because God put him there. I have no doubt. I think he's here to cut down on our complacency. America made the choice, now America must live with it.

I am seeing everywhere the impact of our economy. Several of my favorite restaurants in town have closed down (Mama Chu's... Lupita's...) and the Sunshine Truck Stop, which boasted the lowest priced gasoline in Iron County. The Cedar City Review (newspaper) folded last week, as well. It's sad to see everything changing so much... Businesses closing, and instead of a new one opening up, the building remains dark and empty. I guess that's just how things go.

Today/tomorrow, I go back to my own apartment (which means I will be spending much more time in the office, and at Angie's when I can...). Needless to say, I am not excited about this prospect. I returned last Tuesday night, and within ten minutes of arriving there, was ready to tear my hair out. I left food there. I returned Saturday to find no food there. Nice. Whatever, though. I just need to get a fridge in my room. Except... they go in my room. Open the shades and the window and the door... and the cats parade in and out. My bed is covered in cat hair. Yuck. And it's so abrasive! They're always fighting with somebody, or each other, and the music is always full blast. Hip-hop, rap, and at night it's some discordant wanna-be classical (the same song over and over, every night) that generally involves the same random piano notes over and over. Ugh. I'm done thinking about it. It's my last day, I want to escape for a while.

Anyway. I gotta get back to work.
More later.
