Focus

Can't focus.

Want to focus. Can't focus.

Need to focus. Can't focus.

Too distracting. Need to be in there. Need to make sure she's OK.

Mommy's in there, making sure she's OK. I need to be here, doing what needs to get done.

I'm scared. I need to know she's OK.

She'll be fine, it's nothing. Children get these bugs. It happens.

Writing helps. It controls the mania. Gives an outlet for the panic. Can't cry - Mommy needs the support of a strong Daddy.

Don't want to be strong. Want to be in there.

My heart hurts. My head hurts.

I'll stay here. I need to focus.

Plagues anyone?

Don't cuss at deities, they CAN get even.

In Progress ...

the photos are in the sidebar to your right -->

As I ran out the door this morning, I snapped a few shots of the kitchen in its current state. Methinks it needs a couple more coats of paint.

Just for the record - I used a gray primer (Saturday) and these were taken after two coats had already been applied (Sunday).

Another Day - Another Dollar

I friend of mine, DogPound, has a belief that is paraphrased as "government is a monopoly on armed force". I discussed this with Darius over lunch - because I view the two of them polar opposites - to see what his take on that was. His response was somewhat intriguing, if not altogether ... unrealistic.

His idea is that in the future, the idea of nation-states will dissolve along with geographical boundaries creating a system where individuals will identify with governing bodies on a "subscription-based" system. As further explanation, he used religion as a metaphor for this system. In essence - individuals "subscribe" to a religion they believe in. As such, they then become subject to the rules and regulations of that religion and, should they choose, can un-subscribe from that religion and join a new one.

He sees future governments working the same way. A global governing system, a la the U.N., would set some defaults that people who don't subscribe to a government would be regulated by. Then, people would subscribe to the government(s) they want to be "citizens" of. When they do, they then must abide by the laws and bodies of that governing entity.

Overall, it's a neat idea for a global government system - however I realize it did absolutely nothing to answer the question I originally posed to him. Darius is good at doing that. Go figure.

=========================

Dinner tonight: Chicken breast with some-as-yet-undetermined sauce, sweet potato fries, and a vegetable that goes good with the aforementioned sauce. I wonder if I can get chicken to make a non-crappy pan sauce? Hmm.
