It would seem I have no left side of my brain.  I should be walking all lopsided.  Grace found a test that's been making the rounds on Facebook that supposedly measures the amount of left or right brain one uses.  I use practically none of my left.  This might explain why I can read a letter from the IRS or SSA 20 times and still not understand it.  We are still battling our 2012 tax screw-up.  A plague upon you JH!!!!!!  Now it seems we didn't pay enough in SS taxes.  Will it never end?  I'm terrified to look at our mail box for fear another letter from one government agency or another may be in there.  I'm going to have to defect to North Korea or some place without extradition.  I hear they have great parades.  Enough about that.  My half brain is about to implode.

So my various health issues have me off caffeine (urinary mystery), off sweets and cheeses (cholesterol) and even cutting back on wine!  Strange things have started to happen.  Mainly I have not lost weight!  What is that all about?  But I have been a little on the hyper side.  No snide comments people!  I know I often act hyper but I don't generally feel hyper, especially considering the large quantities of coffee I usually consume.  But by cutting out sugar and caffeine I actually seem to be more energetic.  In fact a bit overly so.....  I have done an amazing amount of work in the library.  I've been organizing, relabeling, shelving, packing up and shipping away books by the dozens.  I have also found myself saying and doing some rather cheeky things.  Today I got kicked out of a colleague's classroom during a meeting because I overstayed my welcome, (I was entertaining them with my quick wit and humor), I suggested we bring back corporal punishment to some 7th graders who didn't seem to appreciate it and then slapped a colleague on the backside in a moment of jovial camaraderie only later thinking that I really don't know her that well, she's Grace's chemistry teacher and, oh yeah, she's gay.  I don't know what's come over me.  This is bizarre behavior even for me.  Maybe it's spring madness.  xxoo me
