Stream of consciousness(1)


Blog27:
                 Early morning:  Alacrity, what does that mean?  And bevy – how did that talk show anchor use that word?   Look it up now?  No, I’ll do it later.

“Rape is rape!  There’s no legitimate or illegitimate rape.  Only an idiot thinks otherwise.  Missouri Congressman Todd Akin should pack up his bags, shred his credentials, and resign his post.  I can’t fathom his claim, “Women - at time of rape have biological chemicals that are unleashed to prevent a pregnancy.”  He should go back to basic school for Biology 101.  Disgusting thought; the nerve …
Brush it off for now.  What’ could I do in the little time I have this minute?  May be the laundry should run while I’m at work.  When I come home, they could all dry while Mickey and I enjoy dinner.  Dinner- what must Mickey be cooking up in his head this time?  Spinach salad, Curry and French bread were really scrumptious last night!  Yumm … Back to that thought of laundry … what about pressing the freshly laundered ones; tonight, possibly? Tackling a two-week wash almost broke my back last Saturday!  I should not do something like that again.  So – should I press laundry tonight or not?  Perhaps that could be simultaneously conquered while listening to Lehrer NewsHour. 

            I wonder what Chris Matthews’s Hardball news line up will be today.  Some disaster - more rebel or Alqaeda attacks on civilians in Syria?   That bloody war waging in that part of the world, when will it end?  Why couldn’t people sensibly, calmly, and diplomatically address their issues face-to-face?  Why couldn’t people get along, share space and resources?  Principles and ideologies must have forum … platform, I agree.  Dragging into conflict-filled setting the lives of innocent aged, children, men and women is just appalling and outrageous!  Why must their lives be sacrificed?  Interrupted? Why couldn’t the fanatics leave them out?  After all, they have nothing to do with political squabbles.  And what are Syria’s neighboring states doing?  Where, and what is the logical response of the community, society? 

Mid-morning:  What’s do-able today?  Curriculum maps are a must to print.  Sorting visuals for thematic units, though time consuming, could be tackled, I think.  What units do I have in file that would easily match Quarter I expectations?  Gee, there are materials to copy, laminate, file; which one first?  The walls are so bare.  Maybe I should attend to that first? It’s 11AM … Better check the Inbox.  Darn it … when is that master schedule going to come in?  Stop whining, Brain.  Patience is a virtue, remember?  Yeaah … Yeaah …
Late afternoon:  There’s grocery shopping to do:  detergent, what else?  May be I should hit a discount shop.  It just might have what exactly I’m looking for.  I just don’t want to paint that shelving I got last weekend.  Joy, a church friend, said I could find one there.  Don’t forget to pick up Calcium and Red Rice Yeast supplements!  The bad cholesterol should weaken more than ever before the next physical.  Which reminds me … begin looking for a new woman physician.  Dr. Stevenson is relocating and had sent notice a month ago.  This lower back pain is “killing” me!  End now … post later.  Get up and get going now.  It’s 4PM.  Time to quit!
Alacrity: to speed up.  Bevy: a crowd   Two new words gained today.  Good job.  Time to rest!
