So, the Courier-Journal is preparing to lay off 15 people, huh? Must have been 15 people in the press room, because I was straight ripped off this morning. No, I repeat, NO entertainment section, with the comics and most importantly to me, the puzzles. Also, no classified ads, which contain a crossword as well. Guess I'll just twiddle my thumbs all day!
Just sitting here relaxing. Just got the dishes done, and no puzzles to occupy my brain. So, with my mind wandering, it occurred to me how amazing it is how many thing a finicky person, such as myself, feels needs to be cleaned by hand. Thinking about laundry to be done, house to clean, etc. As any woman knows, it's never ending.
The only way to get out of the rut is to have a maid, or cleaning woman to do it. Like that's going to happen on most people's budgets- most people with the ever escalating prices are doing good to have anything to fix to mess up said dishes in the first place. If I had Samantha's nose from Bewitched (the TV series, not the hot mess with Will Ferrell), it would be sadly overworked.
If you are like me, then you keep up on current events, especially in this election year. There are three publications that I can highly recommend to do this with, and they are U.S. News and World Report, The Nation, and Harper's. They give in depth coverage of the issues that matter to most people (or at least should), unlike most newspapers anymore, which only rehash, ur, report on what they want to, or bury it anywhere from the third page on.
Of course, I'm also a liberal, so any conservatives or people tending to lean that way are more than welcome to disregard my recommendations, which they undoubtedly will.
