Bad cold. Bad, bad cold.

I get sick very rarely but when I do I'm always miserable. I've not even knit much this weekend - just tried to read or stare at the tv. It's even hard to focus on the computer screen - the brightness hurts my eyes.

The only thing worse than being sick over a holiday weekend is being sick and feeling the need to go to work, so I'm not complaining too much about being "down" on Labor Day weekend. I just hope I get to feeling better soon.

Also sick over what happened in Beslan, Russia. I know, some are calling them "rebels" or "freedom fighters" but I think it's simply evil to use children as pawns - no matter how much you hate the government, the children did not hurt you and they will not understand what you are doing.

As much as I believe in Grace and Forgiveness when it's asked for with a contrite heart, I can't help but think those people will have a lot of 'splainin' to do once they get to the Afterlife.

And hell, I don't know if someone who terrorizes little children like that is likely to develop a contrite heart.

The sarcastic teenager who still resides in my psyche rises up to snarl "Way to advance your cause, dudes, and make everyone all sympathetic....NOT!"
