The furnace guy will be here between 4 and 6. I will endeavor not to bond with him. I'm just hoping he doesn't come up shaking his head and saying, "It's dead, Jim." But it kicked on last night--unseasonably cool night--even though the switch is set to Off. But I'm not going to ask for repairs for that, I've just got it turned down way low. So at least it turns on and it didn't blow up. I don't plan on moving next year, but all I'm asking at this point is another year. My friend/landlord is not in a place where he can buy a new furnace, I don't think.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

I'm watching a groundhog out of the villa window, which is cuter than it sounds.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I got eight and a half hours sleep one night last week. It was revelatory. I really hoped that trend would continue, but I'm back to four-five a night.
The last dream I had was crossing a street, with H in a wheelchair (he wasn't incapacitated, it was just...getting the chair across the street for reasons) and me carrying a cat by the name of the one we lost twenty years ago, except this cat looked nothing like her. As we approached the curb, she wriggled and I set her down, and she ran and disappeared down a storm drain. We couldn't get her out in the first couple of minutes, so we moved on--gotta deliver this wheelchair, after all. And then I woke up gasping because we'd abandoned the cat.

I just procrastinated some more by building a few slides for a presentation I need to deliver on Tuesday. REBEL YEAH.

Following up on yesterday's "Successes" story:
Does the process give a "Success" alert when it's done? That would almost make sense.
The only alert is an "Unknown Message Type = INFO" alert that says "Import Complete".
So I don't know.
And she just said it again about a different process in a different system, so maybe it's just part of her personal idiom for some reason...I think I can tolerate it unless it starts spreading to other people...
