An interesting article about the link between cleanliness in early life and illnesses later in life and how gender plays an issue in this.

I'm watching the Austin and Santino show. (Santino is wearing a cape and talking about his love of caramel corn). Love it. I would write more extensively on this subject but I am typing with 6 fingers. My life, post-broken fingers/hand surgery, consists of a lot of tv. A LOT. And a few books, but mostly tv. I have been obsessively watching DIY channel, Cooking channel and Food TV. And the internet, of course. I've got some great ideas for things to do once I am able to use my right hand. Like this! And this!

I MUST go here. I will be watching this video every day for a while

There was a time when I at least attempted to do active things before and after work.......now, I just come home and lay down, no matter what time I get off work, be it 4pm or 9pm. It is possible that I am just extraordinarily lazy, but I think this is a sign that I am burnt out on working this summer. Exhausting, you're exhausting. Good thing I have only two days left of work! 15 more hours, then I am unemployed!

There are three happiness killers - doing work you do not love and are not passionate about, surrounding yourself with people who you do not really like (someone who just fills time), and living somewhere that does not let you be you. Just stop it. Life is far too short.

Thought Provoking.

Something to think about today. I'll work on a response at some point.
