Mind flutters

Being on the sidelines during a full-scale marital dirty war sucks. Doubly so when one of the parties is alternating whitewash with flat-out lying, cheating, and (yes) stealing. Try not to take sides during that! It's easier than you'd think. In this case, at least.

Beast = still sick.
Also, Beast = in bed for over an hour at this writing.

All the light I can see right now is yellow. The art glass ceiling fan, the art glass lamp in the dining room, the art glass in the kitchen fixtures...and the candlelight on the mantle. Yellow. I don't like yellow very much. However, it is very relaxing and warm, a very nice bonus tonight as the temperature hovers around 0 degrees F.

My head hurts, but vaguely. The sinus thing is (always) still there, but there's also a tinge of tension in my neck.

I have to turn off the email, ignore the listserves and Bloglines updates, and plow through some continuations tomorrow. I'm buried again; thank GOD I don't have to have everything entered this week for the database merge! There's no way I'd be able to finish!

I think the groundhogs...lied.
And now they are laughing at us.

NOT that I'm paranoid....

It's supposed to snow again on Saturday. Good thing we have deep ditches on 2 sides of our house. I was talking to MEMtech today; she said she has nowhere else to put snow in her yard--and her snowblower broke this week. Sigh. Like she has time to deal with that!

Sparky needs to find a way to manage his anger: shoving a (younger) kid into a wall on a CHURCH weekend retreat is ... unacceptable.

I'm caught up on all my current Bloglines feeds, but I have 96 posts saved "for future reference." Some have been saved since Christmas. I have to stop doing this!!

Oxygen for my mom will be costing her almost $1000/month, which means she'll be eligible for Medicare by this time next year, having depleted her savings because of the expense of the nursing home and personal care items that her insurance (and Social Security) don't cover.

I'm very excited about the next couple of months, both in my work life and my church life. Things are boiling over with goodness. Lots of hard work, sweat, drama-potential, but honest, good-for-the-soul-in-almost-every-way stuff. happy sigh

Sparky and I are flying to Colorado at the end of March! Yay. I need to contact Beth and Laura, among others, and see if we can set up a time to get together and chat. And I'll probably end up at the cemeteries again--doing the rounds of grandparents and other friends and relatives.

It's very quiet in my house. All I hear is Beast coughing and moving around in bed up above me, Buddy occasionally rusting in his cage, the furnace cycling on and off, the sound of my typing, and the wind catching the vent behind the microwave/stove. I think I'll go to bed now, too.

Good night all. Happy Valentine's Day.
