I miss Conor.

Does it get any easier sending your sweet toddler to school? Hopefully I will have more than studying to occupy my time soon. I feel so guilty and miss him so much. The house is lonely and sad.

He is so cute at school though, sitting in his chair being a little boy...

Hopefully Moldemort will be vanquished from our house soon. So will our wood floors, possibly our subfloors, maybe a new AC system, some new sheetrock, and tile. Big fun, big expense. All because our builder decided to save a few bucks. I feel so angry and taken advantage of. Thank God Moldemort wasn't present at these levels during Conor's infancy. It could have killed him.

Awesome builder man, thank-you for putting a few bucks in your pocket and leaving us with low-quality shit. You are a real winner in my book...

I think I need to disable the newsfeed on Facebook. It frustrates me when people read one thing and get all crazy. Snopes, Huffington Post, CNN, and every major news outlet isn't saintly. Every story is biased based on who they interview, their political ideology, and their pay check. As a scientist I am skeptical of all written word that doesn't have backing data of a large enough population size. Republicans lie. Democrats lie. Seemingly "good" organizations lie. Sometimes it encourages good. Typically it encourages false activism and frustration on my part. Live according to your code of ethics and knowledge not what "cool kid A" thinks is awesome this week.

I hate Charleston. I hate the traffic, the ignorance, the intolerance, and the general disregard for others. Its refusal to change and be progressive leaves a gentrified and putrid stench that I cannot wait to leave.

One amazing positive. My sorority sisters. They care more than most. It is pretty awesome to know they always have my back. Right on.
