Congrats, brenda!
We went to a friend's house to celebrate St Patrick's Day and their son, a senior, generously took my kids under his wing and let them play Nintendo games and then taught Isaac how to play Magic: The Gathering. Great guy!
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
And, we have achieved cottage.
Woo! Have you been there (or nearby) at night? Good stargazing potential?

That's awesome Brenda! Yay!!
Went dancing, which was fun, but accidentally got kicked in the toe, and ripped up my nail. OW OW OW. I feel like a wuss but OW.

brenda, that's adorable. Reminds me a bit of the cottage my folks had in New Hampshire when I was growing up: it was on a canal as well, with a big back porch. I love the deck overlooking the water, that will be lovely in the summer.

Oooh, looks like the 8 hour standoff on Lake Shore Drive is finally over. What a mess.

Ouch, meara! I've had a big toenail torn in its nail bed. Hurts like hell! (lost the toenail too)

Hip still giving me trouble. While not in agony trouble comes and goes. Extremely difficult to put on shoes and socks. When pain peaks tough to take stairs. Definitely calling doctor as soon as they open. Occasional childish scream or yip when pain takes me by surprise.

I hope you get quick diag and relief.
Work isn't opening its doors until 10 at the soonest. I didn't pick up the laptop because 1) DENIAL and 2) I was supposed to start swapping machines today, so needed a clean backup. There's a lot more snow out there than I expected.
At this point, I'm not going to even try hard. My only true goal shall be to make half-price margarita night tonight. I'm so fucking over winter.
