Feeling quite a bit better than last week, though dinner tonight almost did in my stomach. Jalapenos were just too spicy. Early to bed tonight and very early up in the morning for work. Would rather eat dirt, but gotta pay the bills.
Second assignment for my on-line writing class is due this week, along with the start of my second class. What was I thinking? Right. Getting down the family stories that are almost forgotten and making money. THAT'S what I was thinking. I'm not shooting to be the next Charlaine Harris. I just wanna make a living at something I find interesting, stay home when the weather sucks, and where no one dies if I misspell a word.

Monday January 2, 2012
Good grief, I really dropped the ball on posting!
Been sick for several days, tho not so much I couldn't enjoy having time at home with the spousal unit. Missed 3 days of work. Feel incredibly guilty, but then it isn't my fault the company allowed our staffing level to fall below "doable." They've been warned many times and chose to ignore it. Too bad my co-workers were the ones to take the brunt of it, but our OT Whore is back from long-term, so I'm hoping he was happy as usual to get more time.
Hubby set me up with a new monitor in the office and I can use a full-sized keyboard along with my Mac laptop as a docking station. Yippee!!! Need to get this monitor tuned up, but other wise it's a nice improvement.
Also got a Toshiba net book for Christmas. Really like it. Much smaller and lighter than my laptop. Small enough, in fact, that I'm not too tempted to surf, FB or otherwise piss off while I'm using it. It's for writing. Period.
Felt well enough last night and today that I worked with hubby on the office. God, what a mess! I found the top of my desk again. Who knew it was green? Fixed the lamp, so have a working desk light. (Fixed another lamp with his help yesterday.) Found a large amount of mom's family history I didn't remember having. Good grief! Pictures. Atta-girls and job info from my last several employers and colleges. Nice. Large pile of unanswered letters and cards from family and friends. Not so nice. Bad kitty!
Sunday night was clear and gorgeous. Icy cold, crisp, bright stars. New fireworks ordinance had lots more folks than usual playing with explosives. Very nice displays over Fire Lake by some of the homeowners, and quite a few on this side of the highway. Something like 68" if snow so far this year (only 71" all of last winter, I think), so no real fire danger out here. Hope there were no issues in town or on Hillside.
Veronica says the cold snap is over in Seward. Hope it ends here soon. It's a beautiful ice fairy land sort of place outside, but freaking hell it's cold. -10 the past couple of days. I know it will get colder, but I'm ready for a little warmer. +20s would be about perfect. No freeze/thaw cycle but not hard ass cold. If only.
