I'm feeling like the main character in the book "Alexander and teh terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day"... as story by Judith Viorst that I used to read to my kids when they were little; and has no apparently, been made into a movie.

The main character laments..."I went to sleep with gum in my mouth and now there's gum in my hair and when I got out of bed this morning I tripped on the skateboard and by mistake I dropped my sweater in the sink while the water was running and I could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day."

And so has been my day.
I will not bore you with the details... but suffice it to say that I am fed up with my government, fed up with the health care system, fed up with the economy and lack of positions for someone with degrees and experience...
I am tired of spending months filling out paperwork only to be told they are wrong; that I completely was told the wrong information; and that I need to start over. I am tired of the ... you have to do x... but do do x... you have to do y... and to do y... you should already have done x.
I am completely tapped out.

I hope someone's ice cream falls off their cone... and lands in Australia.

And so I will leave you all today with many well wishes for a good evening...
and a photo of some of the ferns near Lyman Lake.
See you all tomorrow.
