First things first -- I don't care if Bin Laden is dead. He hasn't been relevant for years. A ghost that we pull out when someone needs a scare or if we need to explain why we have to keep spending billions on a war we shouldn't be fighting anyway. Seriously, I don't normally subscribe to conspiracy theory tactics, but this ones stinks like a sardine left in the sun for too long. We are about to enter election season, gas is over $4.25 a gallon, and people are pissed off. What do we do? We decide to tell the world Bin Laden is dead - A WEEK AGO. Oh yeah, we killed him last week, we were just sitting on the body to make sure his DNA matched. Um, sure. Whatever. Now we can blame everything on his followers who have made him a martyr. What a load of bullshit.

In other news...

Spent the day around the house yesterday. It was beautiful outside and I went out for a little while mostly to run errands. I went and looked at new beds for the kid. I found a box spring and mattress set for $250 that I think I will buy in June. Money I would have used for her child support can go towards a new bed for her. She is old enough that it is time to retire the twin and get her on a queen size bed. I have an extra frame still so why not. Her room will fit it.

I also picked up some paint. I have another little painting project I want to embark upon this week. I am going to paint the trim of my fireplace and the wall opposite in a bright yellow. Brighten up the room a bit. I will start with the fireplace trim and see if the color works. Big project to keep me in the house and out of trouble. Beyond that I didn't do much yesterday. Oh, I did have one bad moment; I completely ran a red light. I was just zoning out coming back from the paint store and just went right through it. I would have had no excuse if a cop pulled me over. This one was just straight up, I missed it.

Made mac and cheese and banana walnut fudge ice cream yesterday. That kept me busy for a little while. That's about it. Felt lonely. Felt bored. Read a book. Went to bed.
