I haven't written in a long time. I hate it when I let myself go so long without writing; I never know how to kick off the first post after a long break. So what's been up?
I've been riveted by the local news in Minnesota. You may or may not have heard, but the MN Senate, and the House this week, have/will pass a referendum to be voted on in 2012, which will ban gay marriage in the state of MN. I'm hopefull it will fail at the polls, but you have to remember that anti-same-sex marriage amendments have come up in 31 states so far, and it has passed in EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. I'm hopeful. But the odds are against us.
That said, I'm not yet willing to give up on human integrity. We can defeat this. Right now even, the polls are in our favor. But there's a long road between now and November 2012.
Beyond that, I've been working a lot of overtime lately. Lots of sick people at work, many of them the unfortunate type. My work generally isn't that dramatic, but I feel like the drama level has been turned up extra high these past few weeks. No one's "just" sick, all my patients have been sick-and-32-years-old-and-broke-and-have-three-young-kids. Then I haven't been sleeping well during the days and, to top it all off, I was attacked by a patient last night, and now I'm wide awake at home. (No, I'm not injured.)
I've kinda spent the past few weeks on a sleep-deprived some what stressed out and rather emotional rollercoaster. Where does that leave me this morning? A gelatinous pseudo-tweaked out ball of goo on the couch. Hungry yet stuffed. Sore but tranquil. Thinking clearly yet a total mess.
Numb.
..................................until.......I remember what I'll be doing in exactly one week from today. I'll be in a Tahoe with two rubber pups on my way to Chicago for the yearly kinkfest for gay men in the nation.
IML is on the horizon. Time to be the fox again.
And this fox is crawling back into bed.
