Here we go.

Transmissions from the sick bed.

The following was written last Thursday. It's short, but I think it's because the meds kicked in.

Well, I went & got sick. It's all sinus related. A little drip can make you feel like death. I'm waiting for the sleepytime medicine to kick in. In the meantime, ever the faithful blogger I am.

Monday was World AIDS Day. Me & ATM went to the Clinton Library to look at some of THE quilt -- it was really amazing & a sight to behold. No one was there, but probably because it was very cold & windy. How did I feel? How DID I feel? I felt more educated. It became more real to me because I could see the faces of victims. I have to admit, there's a disconnect between me & things like HIV/AIDS. I don't know anyone who has it. It's well removed from my own life. But, understand, it's not lost on me. I know the importance of AIDS education. It's part of the bigger picture. It's not just AIDS prevention, it's sex education. To have control, to not spread disease & to prevent unwanted pregnancies. In a roundabout way, being sexually educated is caring for yourself AND others.
