    I've been thinking way too long on this and have been putting it off to spare the feelings of someone I love, now I am desperate for a change in my life and am still not sure. just pointless.

    We got a new governor today. Interestingly, none of the local reporting is mentioning that she is the first serving LGBT governor.

    10+ hours of sleep at one time is wonderful. This feeling rested thing is an odd sensation for me.​

    I haven't seen it in local, national or international news. Not one story. Might explain why I learned this on here.

    In a way I thinks it cool it's not news. Info like this should not be news at all.

    Strange. I didn't check TFP for a couple of days, but have been back posting for four days. This thread didn't show up as an Alert or under What's New?.

    It was part of the headline elsewhere.

    Kate Brown sworn in as nation's first openly bisexual governor | Chicago
    Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, first bisexual governor in U.S., stresses ethics - LA Times
    Kate Brown becomes country's first bisexual governor | MSNBCIt was mentioned in the Oregonian's piece on her swearing in, but it was a very brief mention, and KGW didn't talk about it at all, focusing instead on the fact that she is only the second female governor in Oregon's history, Barbara Roberts being the other.

    I'm happy to say that the local media doesn't usually make a "big deal" out of Mayor Anise Parker being lesbian. It does get mentioned, but usually only when the news story is about her supporting gay rights legislation. But I can't see a gay, lesbian, or bisexual being elected governor in Texas.

    I was also pleased to see that Sally K. Ride was recognized for her accomplishments rather than her sexual preference.

    I feel so much better when I can button my pants.

    All the yoga work on my quads made it nearly impossible to get my less stretchy jeans up. And more cheating than necessary made the whole button thing a challenge. The combination of a Mensescidal month and thinking I could get away with just gluten-free was awful.
    I can button my pants!!

    I suspect that a book I worked on last season is being reviewed by a national newspaper.

    I just realized that Canada's federal election is in exactly eight months. What I've realized for a while now: My choice is obvious.

    A few moments ago I received a text reminding me that I'm playing bachelor tonight. The sad part is that won't change my evening very much :(.

    Just to be clear I wasn't saying the stories weren't out there, simply stating I had not seen them. Been very hectic around here of late. Plus I have taken it watching about 90% less "news" then I used to watch. I find I'm a happier person just being less informed. I figured I was at best being ill informed when I was following the news.
