Unlucky

The world is unfair.

My favorite show, Veronica Mars is not going to air for another 8 weeks because the CW network (bunch of whores that they are) is replacing it with "In search of the next Doll" -- a reality show about finding the next pussycat doll.

That's fabulous. Take a hit show, with cult following featuring great script and brilliantly feminist, Veronica and replace it with "Search for the next doll" -- which producers are claiming is empowering. Ugh, they make me ill.

Tyler is home sick today. I'm trying to help without catching the plague or whatever it is he has. You know it's bad if it can keep him home from work. He's one of those "I'm never sick" guys.

I have to speak to Juvies later on today. It's part of my internship outreach work. I really like talking to kids but I'm still new enough to feel pretty intimidated. Besides, I was on the knowledge masters team in high school, not like I can really relate to these kids' life choices or anything. Hope they don't run me out of there.

Weirdest phone call I made today.... I just called an scheduled an abortion for myself. I'm getting it this week. Okay, not really at all. But as part of training for clinic work I have to go through "a day as a patient" -- the whole thing, the forms, the tests, ultrasound, group session, individual review, meeting the doctor, feet in stirrups and even miming the procedure. I shouldn't be nervous, it's just an excercise but it feels scary. When I scheduled they asked if they could call my cell, I said yes, asked if anyone else might pick up, and I said Tyler would. Asked if that would be a problem and my mind wad suddenly sad as I said, "yes he knows." So glad I'm not really in this situation. I am starting to see how this will really help me understand where these women are.

*sigh* This will make walking by protesters all the more fun.

Time to go check on the patient again.
