Friday morning came, that alarm went off, and I knew the one thing that made sense was to take a sick day before almost half of my co-workers went on spring break. That was a good decision. I had hives on Friday, which may have been a reaction to how much hand sanitizer I was using on Thursday, or may have been me finally developing a food allergy to walnuts in my oatmeal every day. I'm cutting out the walnuts to see if there's a change in my general energy level. In a month or so I should re-introduce them to see if the hives come back.
The weekend was particularly odd -- low energy, not able to execute a single plan. Except for the bellydance performance on Saturday night. The actual dancing was really good. (the transition between dances, not so much, but then again we didn't actually practice that.) I'm looking forward to the youtube recap.
The US house of representatives did something truly stupid last night. They started a new thread in US history with the passage of the "Universal Health Care Bill". Some of the states are determined to begin its reversal, to preserve a restricted role for the federal government in the lives of us citizens. I hope they can obtain a complete victory in court.
