it is quiet today in clinic. the last patient is in the room with the doctor now but it is a nerve conduction test so really, i don't have anything to do for check out. i've been going over my provider's schedules for the next two weeks and there is only so much you can go through before your head starts to hurt and your eyes feel like their crossed.

lance just got the unofficial promotion to manager at a new shop opening up on SE 82nd. how exciting. he hasn't even gotten his first full check yet. well, sure he got a paycheck but it wasn't a full pay period and now he is supposed to be opening this store next week. wowza!

i think this will change his schedule a little bit now that he has to manage a store. i am sure that he will be up to . today they have a meeting at their beaverton location and he is going to meet the main boss. his aunt susan is in town too and she was at their shop yesterday, maybe even today. thanks, aunt susan!

i spent a little more than i thought this paycheck. i paid off the electric bill and part of the phone bill. i don't have enough to pay rent and not overdraw and i'm going to do my very bestest not to do that either. next payday will be on july 10.

this weekend we'll be camping out at afuera.

in the news lately, michael jackson passed away last week due to a heart attack. that was very sudden. there were many sad people. we watched this special on him on 48 hours. Spike Lee said that whatever beef the black people had for him, he's theirs. everything is fine now and now is not a good time to bad mouth Michael Jackson in front of other black people.

in other news, people wonder if he really fathered his children because they don't look mixed. i wonder why anyone would care. he says they are his kids so they are. official documents say so. their biological mother says so. would it be different if it was gay and said the same? perhaps the most it is his implication that they are his biologically because at the time, surrogate mothers were not the in thing. these days, surrogate mothers are not abnormal.

honduras has been overtaken by the military and despite the democratic allusions that this new government makes, history shows that most military governments end in dictatorship. however you mask it, it is a dictatorship when you have to use force of guns to take over a government. the exiled president is not allowed to enter the country without threat of arrest. politically, it would be a wrong move to arrest the president and it would also be a wrong move to move in with foreign forces. i do not think it will resort to that. i think this government will fall eventually and did this man not think that this move of his will only spearhead the movement for another term for the exiled president. it is what started it all.

i think it is interesting now that i am old enough to know and understand what a coup is. we'll see how this develop. it happened yesterday so many things can happen between now and the weekend.
