How are you doing today? Do you have anything to rant or rave about?
How involved are you in local politics? Have you ever considered running for your municipality's council or commission or for another office? Or do you focus more on national and international politics?

I work for a city, so I have an insider's perspective on how unrealistic our local elected officials are. No way would I ever run for office, since I know I couldn't win an election with a platform based on working effectively with the city's employees.

my back is still hurting pretty bad... but at least I am able to walk. Yesterday it was really hard. I'm trying to keep stretching so that it loosens up. Other than that I am feeling pretty good. My heartburn and acid reflux seem to mostly come up in the evening and maalox is keeping that in check.

Follow politics semi- closely- mostly international or local. Skip the national. No interest in being involved myself anyway
I am so tired again today! We have had some crazy storms the last 2 nights and I couldn't sleep the night before that, so I am running on empty,and when I try to nap I can't! go figure... I hope I find sleep and my energy again some day, I am just not used to this.

I am not really involved in politics - I tend to follow the political trends and loved studying international politics in college, but have no interest in being involved directly.

As far as local politics, it really depends on the issue. Some things I care about, but others I don't. If I care, I'll write a letter or go to a meeting or something. Mostly I just try and stay informed enough to intelligently vote.
@kfitzguerra - Congrats on A/S and baby boy, but sorry about previa.
@nightowl1989 - so very sorry about being grounded. I can't imagine how that must feel, but I know it can't feel good. Hugs for you.

I'm very good today. Still achy and my running has become more of a run/walk these days as my calves and feet start to hurt half-way through, but overall feeling positive. Per my last post just a moment ago, had a great follow-up A/S with kidney's now down to normal size. Yay! So happy about that. Everything else is measuring right and though baby isn't kicking enough for my liking is doing it regularly at night now to let me know he/she is in there. On this scan baby showed just curled up in a ball very high up in my uterus - which accounts for why I feel no movement during the mornings - apparently that is baby's nap time
How involved are you in local politics? Have you ever considered running for your municipality's council or commission or for another office? Or do you focus more on national and international politics? Don't get involved in politics. I keep an eye on what is going nationally and internationally as well as statewide - but don't really get involved.
I am involved in local politics by way of running a community organization that promotes the arts in our area. So I tend to find out which local elected officials are aligned with our goals, who is working hard, and who isn't. I have considered making a run in the distant future but this organization takes up an abundance of my time already.
