A busy couple of days ahead. Stretch has an orthodontics appointment tomorrow. I think she's hoping to end up with braces...it's the whole attention thing. She just doesn't relize how much it sucks in reality. Then the spouse and I meet with the builder. The house is looking REALLY good, they got the siding up, and the hardwood floors in, and my tiled bathroom is beautiful. Today the cabinets should have been delivered for install on Thursday.

And my mortgage payment is going to be higher than I thought. I'm trying desperately not to stroke out.

Thursday I meet my new endocrinologist. I've been feeling pretty crappy lately, and not responding well to what I'm eating. I'm bone-crushing tired an hour after eating, and Dr. Google tells me that's a crash in blood sugar after eating carbs. I'll make sure to mention it to the good doctor... just what I need is another organ going belly up. Aren't my thyroid and ovaries enough?

I also got a really interesting phone call today. Seems a very prominent local politician has his sights set on a larger office. This promises to be an extremely tough campaign with unprecedented media coverage. The candidate wants ME to be his communications director. He all but promised that if he wins, I'll end up his press secretary. Press secretary? ME?

It's something I'll think about. There are pros and cons, for both of us. Hell, I like the incumbent guy, he's a friend of mine. I don't do smear, and there is at least one media bigwig who doesn't like me and might negatively impact my candidate. On second thought, when else do I get this kind of opportunity? Do I even want it? It would be good resume material, but also the stuff ulcers are made of.

Speaking of resume, the corporation has approached me about being the head BD person. BD is Business Development or "sell us, babe". I'm pondering that too. Again, there are pros and cons, being a salesman doesn't do much for my resume.

It's been an interesting day. I'm very tired tonight and hope that I can get in some good solid sleep. I did my FOURTH home closing in a week tonight. That puts me up to nearly 400 bucks extra right in time for Christmas. I'll take it.

Press Secretary? ME?
