The Twenty-second of February

I'm hearing the windows shake, shutter, and rattle... what is happening? Is a tornado coming? Should we move into the den, further from the windows? My sleep continues to be disturbed. I'm sleeping, but tossing and turning - I wish I could disable my hearing for the moment. My throat is like sandpaper - rough when I swallow.

The radio wakes me all of a sudden at 6:10am. I grab my cell by the bed and text my boss- "I really think I should rest my throat/voice today by staying home." My phone vibrates 2 minutes later - "If you think that's best". Back to sleep again.

Some woman walks into the room a time later and dares to rouse me with a full glass of yellow liquid and 2 blue pills - "Take these- and drink the gatorade all up"... but why do I have to? I drink 3/4 and my head hits the pillow again 'till 1:15pm.

The snow is melting fast, the day is almost gone. I've picked up the mail, played the piano, blogged, drunk a 1/2 gallon of liquids, eaten, and showered. It's a good day.

Working Hard

Wow- I just realized tonight that I've been working for Generac for exactly 1/2 a year. It's kind of weird to think about it. Doesn't seem like it's been that long yet.
Lets see... tonight we watched Marie Antoinette with Kirsten Dunst. Ehh, it was ok - mainly just boring though. Although I did like the part where the cute little French girl (Marie's firstborn)said, "Look, a little bee!" in French. I mean how precious is that?
I got sick yesterday and so I went to a health clinic today at 3. Just a viral sickness... no infections. So we loaded up on gatorade and soup at the local CVS when I got home.
Take it easy everyone!

I feel so disconnected from the blogging world

This is the first time I've posted in a while. I guess I don't have to tell you guys that. ;) I wonder how this color will look on my blog.
Well life is good here in the North - VERY cold, but the warmth of our cozy little apartment suffices.
So here's my take on the world right now:

• New dollar coin just released. Sure, it's gold in color, but will that really be the deciding parameter in keeping this 3rd-chance in circulation? What's our problem with wanting to collect coins?
• Windows Vista came out recently. I know that's the FIRST thing I'm gonna buy when I get my next paycheck - along with the new computer system I'll need to run all the graphics and frills. Yeah, so I'll be out a grand or so; but at least I'll have what I need.       ... right?
• Gore's not running for President!? What's he THINKING? Oooh, right - he can't spend time campaigning because he'll be too busy planning the next world-wide shindig to save the planet. Who knows though, maybe he'll run in 2012, when he's got everyone under his control.
• I just went out and bought 2 half-gallons of ice cream at the store. Yes, that's the only reason I went out. It's 0 degs outside.
• They put blankeys on the horsees up here. Not sure if they really need them or if their owners just like to dress up their pets.
• Will there ever be a solution to Iraq? I don't even wanna hear the news anymore because 80% of the time, that's what they talk about- the war. I want to hear the news when there is news regarding Iraq - a change.
• Is Harrison Ford really able to pull off a good "Indi" in a 4th continuation of a 1980's epic series? Does it MATTER if he's this old? People will watch it because it's Harrison Ford.
• KOL is not something that I think I will continue - don't cry please. I love all you people who play it. It's just not my bag. I gave it a good wack but nothin' clicked. No hard feelings?
• I'm an uncle multiple times. I'd like to hold my nephews. I wonder if they would recognize me - ... na.
• Mad props to my wife and her pretty brain - yes that was a very ironic occurance of simultaneous geometry brain activity right before shuteye 2 nights ago - my conclusion: A closed 3-D shape can have no fewer that 3 sides if none of the sides are bent or curved. her conclusion: was able to visualize an inverted pentagon- next was hexagon. I know she could've done it - but that's when we realized our math-love connection. This is not the first time math has been our common denominator
• I think I'd feel a little better about taxes if the government would just ask nicely for money - as it is they take it. RIGHT outta ma paycheck. BAH. Oh well - they need it, so they demand it.
• Please look at the cutest, most laughable animal I've seen in the past several weeks - JAX the CAT! Yes, daaandelions and I gave him a good scrubbin', lol.
  
• Sigh, I'm pretty sure I'm done thinking for tonight, but maybe I'll catch you tomorrow, LJ.
