Oh how I hate math!
I have finally put my math class off as long as possible and need to get my act in gear if I am going to get a good grade in the class. I am taking college algebra using the Prentice Hall Interactive Math series. It seems to be pretty user friendly, although I wish it were set up a little different. I hope it helps make the experience as fun and informative as possible. Afterall, how fun can math be? I think I need a beer...
The weather here lately has resembled Portland more than Las Vegas. It was raining last week when I left, it rained three days while I was gone, it was raining when I got back, and it is expected to rain again this afternoon/evening. Things are forecasted to clear up tomorrow and we'll be in the low to mid 70s by the weekend. Not bad, if you ask me. I could never get tired of the rain here since it happens so infrequently. And we're in a drout, so any amount is helpful. Of course, I am off to New York tonight where I could only wish for the rather balmy mid 50s here as opposed to the mid 20s there. Ick.
Bethany brought home some Girl Scout cookies last night, to my "Caramel Delight". Ha ha. Those are my favorite. I'm a huge peanut butter fan, but their peanut butter cookies don't quite do it for me. There's something about toasted coconut, caramel and chocolate that melts me. And the Thin Mints? I could do without. Although they are good, I'd rather they be crushed in some sort of ice cream concoction. Much better.
There has been a crisis here in Nevada the last several months with doctors leaving the state due to skyrocketing malpractice insurance premiums. The problem? Nevada only recently enacted tort reform to limit the liability and damages a physician may have to face/pay in the event of malpractice. The change came only after an emergecny session of the state legislature, and many are saying it's too little, too late since doctors are still leaving the state. Beth's OB/GYN announced today he is closing his office in two weeks. The problem gets even bigger; OB/GYNs are the ones leaving the most, and the ones that are still here, aren't accepting new patients. Women are having to travel to Utah, Arizona and California just to get prenatal care, and more and more babies are being born in the ER. I just heard it on the news today, so Beth doesn't know about it yet. I am anxious to hear what she has to say about it.
