I've got a few more eps. I am just twitchy and I don't know if I can really enjoy Sports Night right now. Or anything.

Pretty sure Upstart Crow will survive forever. It better. It's been a touchstone of mine since well before I even lived in San Diego.

It's 39 degrees out. That seems like the roads should be un-icy for a bit. I'm going to make a firelog run and see if that helps. That way I can get out, do something, and be happier once I am frozed back in later on tonight.

I hate that feeling. Hope it passes soon.

Good luck outside.

{{{Cass}}} Sorry about the twitchy. I hope it passes quickly.

Ah Cass, I'm sorry you're feeling twitchy.

Lee, was it you who had a tag something like "Let your freak flag fly"? If so, where was that from?

On the way home from school, the kids and I had a discussion which ended in me saying, "Look, I appreciate all three of you fly your freak flags high, but that's not normal, either."

Then I started wondering about the story/context behind the tag.

I don't remember, Cindy. Sorry about that.

White collar conservative flashin' down the street Pointin' their plastic finger at me, ha ! They're hopin' soon my kind will drop and die but uh I'm gonna wave my freak flag high, high !

Your kids are stoners, Cindy? And I thought Canadians were "Bad-L" liberal ...

Wow. Turns out I loathe people today. At least stupid people, and lots of people are stupid. But I got out, got firelogs and even hauled one fifty pound box of them upstairs while leaving two in my trunk. And getting out was good even if I was annoyed at bad drivers, stupid walkers and basically everyone.

Still? I have firelogs, got out and am feeling a tiny bit better. And? Fire will be pretty.

Glad for the improvement, Cass. NSM for the stupid people.

I'm kinda starting to wish I had a fireplace.

We had a (gas) fireplace in our last place. Heaven.

Our little guest house, while cozy, is not the warmest place on earth. My normal evening loungewear these days is flannel pajamas with one of Jason's old sweatshirts (which has a picture of Eugene O'Neill and is HUGE on me) over them, plus fluffy socks and a down throw over my lap. Yeah, I'm a big ole vixen.
