And the good news flows
…like mucus from my nose a river.
(Yeah. Still battling mucus ‘n’ phlegm. A new weapon in my arsenal, though: honkin’ 600mg tablets of guaifenesin, which are breaking up the chest congestion. w00t.)
Yesterday I received two very nice pieces of news:
- My employer, which can easily be described as “stodgy”, will be offering domestic partner benefits.
- I got some nice grades from the previous university term, and am rockin’ a 3.5.
Granted, the DP bennies will be expensive — especially since they’re taxable unlike spousal bennies — and my GPA is only that high because SLU doesn’t include transferred grades in their GPA calculations and because one of those classes was eeeeeeeasy. Good news is good news, though, and I’ll take what I can get.
Tomorrow (Saturday) is the HRC Gala. Though I won’t be a table co-captain (thanks a lot, chorus guys), I’m still looking forward to the event.
Sunday we’re singing at a chorus member’s ordination (UCC). It should be a good time.
And next Tuesday… well, I’m not going to hold my breath, but maybe possibly people are going to actually wake the fuck up and realize what the Republican devotion to fear ‘n’ apathy has done to this world of ours. (Reminder: Jim Talent thinks that defending marriage from gay men and lesbians is more important than effective military planning or a balanced budget or the right to habeas corpus. Priorities, kids, priorities.)
(Also: it’s worth noting that no political ad paid for by the Talent campaign uses the word “Republican”, spoken or as on-screen text.)
