That's a good one, Theo.
I think I'm taking another hot shower. And then a horizontal surface.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Poor sara! Feel better.
House is cold this AM. I need to locate shoes, keys etc so I can go to the pool.
My student teacher starts today. I am full of ambivalence. Not about her, but about everything.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I looked out the window and saw snow, so was very relieved to look closer and see it was just a very little bit. I think it's currently raining, though, so I am just as glad not to have any need to go anywhere.

I woke up with a severe coughing jag -- I sound like Camille dying of consumption, if she had been a college linebacker. Being upright for a while and OTC cough medicine kicking in has helped a bunch. It's now been a week with this cold. (Really, no fever, tummy distress, aches and pains. Not flu: cold. Feh.)

Cold suck. Almost worse because there is really nothing to be done about them! Ugh.

Poor, Theo. I just want to stick you in a Dim Sum steamer until you're all better.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
But then she would be cooked! We don't want a cooked Theo!

I totally got peer pressured into shoveling! Or, into shoving mostly water off the driveway. I peeked out the window and saw that the (retired, but hardy) neighbor had cleared our sidewalk, and could hear that she was still out there, so.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
That's not peer pressure, Jesse. That's guilt. Self-directed guilt. Like a closed loop.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Dang it's cold this morning! I need to get the heater lit so we can have at least one warm room in the house. But hey, at least I have coffee and the kids are off to school, so the morning is starting out OK. We needed to drive them up to school as they slept in and missed the bus, but that's the price of Monday.
I almost finished with cleaning out my sister's office. One more week to get out items of possible value and then I'm calling the hauler and saying it's out of my hands.
