Wooohoooo!
For a number of reasons:
1) The b-u-r-l-y-f-a-m-i-l-y welcomed baby #4, Anna Ruth, into the world yesterday afternoon. Gnome grows big babies, as Anna weighed 8lb 11oz! Mom and baby are both well.
2) I am excited about the snow falling on the ground. Our area is expected to get around 4-6 inches of snow, which for us is practically unheard of. It's 0800 and we've got about an inch already. Can't wait for Dan-man to get up and see it.
3) I am STOKED that we are inaugurating Barack Obama. I do not agree with all his politics, but I agree with enough of them to have voted for him, and I do believe that he will do his job with grace. I think it is important to realize that the issues we face are so great, and no one person will be able to fix them, nor will they disappear overnight. Barack is not our messiah and we'll do well to remember that. However - I am very hopeful that he will reverse some of the extreme right-wing policies and 'Bush doctrine' that has landed this country in some hot water around the world.
And, I think it is really really cool that Barack has invited the Tuskegee Airmen to be at his inauguration.

Israel/Gaza
One of the best opinions I have seen in a long time regarding the current horror in the Middle East.

I am interested in hearing others' opinions here.

Funk
No, I am not referring to the odd smell that follows me home from work. :)
I have been feeling quite blah lately. Vacillating between wanting to sleep all the time and being unable to sleep. Eating just to eat. Wanting to do nothing - ever. Finding it a chore to just get up and get dressed in the morning. And on top of all that, my heart beats irregularly. I'm not sure if they're PACs or PVCs, but it doesn't feel good.
I have upped my dose of Zoloft from 50 to 75mg, and it may get upped again before it's all said and done. I also think my body is trying to tell me it cannot do nights forever. Between depression and nightshift, it has really thrown me for a loop here.
I've got an appointment Wednesday to see the doctor about this. I am hoping that he will write me a note to transfer to day/evening shift ASAP. I am also trying to exercise more, eat less junk, and drink less caffeine (that I will have to taper since I do not want caffeine headaches). I'm considering going lacto-ovovegetarian as well to see if it makes a difference.
Bleh. I hate feeling this way.
