Friday VT - Lame Duck Day

When : Always February 6th

Hey, today is everything it's quacked up to be. Lame Duck Day is set aside to give recognition to people whose tenure in a position is running out.

Okay, so you are probably thinking that a "lame duck" is a duck with some sort of injury. If only that were the reason for toady! Rather, a "Lame Duck" by human, definition is a person who is in a position of some kind, and will soon be "shown the door". The best example is an incumbent politician who lost in the November elections. They usually remain in office until the beginning of January. It also applies to leaders, managers, etc, who are retiring or whose term of office is up.

During the interim period, a Lame Duck is usually far less effective, and frequently ineffective. After all, loyalties will soon shift. It's impossible to rally the troops to one more cause or project.

On Lame Duck Day...

If you are a Lame Duck: Enjoy those final days. Reflect upon you successes, and the joys and rewards the position provided to you. Kick back a little and have some fun today, and in the remaining days.

If you know a Lame Duck: Supporters should provide recognition and support. Non-supporters can cut the Lame Duck a little slack today. They will soon be gone.

If you are a duck and you are lame, seek medical attention.

Morning world!

Taking the 'keet back to the doctor today. She's had a migraine since Tuesday afternoon. The doc gave her Tylenol 3 which has helped in the past. It puts her to sleep and when she wakes up, the migraine is gone, although she's left with a "migraine hangover" where she's very sensitive to light and sound for half a day or so. But here it is Friday and she's still hurting. The Tylenol 3 puts her to sleep, but when she wakes up, the pain is still there. Not fun at all.

Hate to hear that Ken. She had been doing pretty good for a while?

She's been doing really well. In the past year, she's only fainted once and only had two migraines until about 3 weeks ago. She's had four migraines in the past three weeks and this current one is going on four days now. Don't know what's going on, but it's time to find out.
