I looked at weatherbug - the prediction is that tonight our low is going to be in the 20s!

That is warmer than our high temperature for the past 3 days and it is already 13 out. That is 13 above zero. Woo hoo - heat wave.

Because books.

Knock 'em dead, msbelle!

That is 13 above zero. Woo hoo - heat wave.

Ugh. I think it's in the 20s here. But next week they're promising a day that will hit 50! I just want the ice in our driveway to melt.

Melting would mean refreezing - I don't really want that but some transpiration would be nice.

Go msbelle! I hope you get the job!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, msbelle! Kick ass.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Good luck msbelle! I hope that the job is one you want and that they realize how awesome you are.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

msbelle, I'm wishing you a perfect match between your awesomeness and the job's awesomeness for you!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

It's 9˚F, here. Yes, folks that is a positive number, which makes me positively happy. As I said on FaceBook, you know it has been bloody f-ing cold when you think "huh, this doesn't feel quite as bad as I expected" while walking out to the car, only to drive past a bank sign proclaiming the current temp as -5˚F. Even better, the forecast for today is a high of 30. Color me giddy.

Interview~ma for msbelle. And getting through the work day~ma for ita.

Kathy, you are doing wonderfully!

I'm participating in a six-week challenge at work - anyone who squeezes in 3 ten-minute periods of physical activity per day (they include active house-work like vacuuming and gardening) can enter a drawing for various prizes (incl. a $300 voucher for a gym membership). When I'm assisting individuals with their range of motion exercises at work, I've been doing the exercises with them instead of just standing by and counting for them. Then I thought I'd be so clever, for days when I'm tired at the end of the day, and still need to get in more activity - searched YouTube for chair exercises. I glommed onto some chair tai chi and chi gung vids - the ones I have done, my arms and shoulders are SO sore! There are also lots of chair yoga bits up, some modifications of poses that work for those of us who aren't ready for the floor. Definitely noticing a hint of definition in my biceps, and my posture is better.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Interview~ma, msbelle!

Count me among those in awe of Kathy. Not actually inspired by, yet, seeing as how I steadfastly continue to be mostly a desk-bound lump, but very definitely in awe.
