A Chance of January with a Coat Event

Ok, kiddies.

I'm getting pretty sick of the weatherma...um, METEOROLOGIST'S reports of possible snow with some chance of a rain event near some precipitation but now we're moving on! Back to you, Bill.

IS IT WINTER OR IS IT NOT WINTER???? If they're going to screw it all up, why can't they just admit it? This isn't El Nino, it's GLOBAL WARMING. The Polar Bears in Central Park are learning how to wear sunscreen and bermuda shorts, why do the weathermen/women keep LYING???? I CAN'T predict what'll happen when I wake up due to my ever-increasing fibro attacks, I'd at least like to know what kind of clothing I'm supposed to wear. We went from 68 degrees to 50. Then 50 to 45. Then back up to 70, now it's 22 outside. Doppler can't predict anything if Mother Nature's in a pissy mood, they should just keep a gag reel instead of the weather reports. I like to see Funny Videos from Other Stupid People around the World. That's five minutes we all need on a broadcast. Get to it, already. God!!!

In other news, I goofed and thought Nationals was on this weekend. Wrong. It's next, and I planned to go out. I'll have to scratch that to keep up with my skating buddies. We'll all be glued to ESPN next weekend with the ABC recap on Saturday night of the Ladies event. If it snowed next weekend, I wouldn't care. I'm going to be inside in front of someone's t.v. I've taken a break from skating due to my bad fibro and increasingly swollen left knee, but I'm sure I'll jump in the saddle (the blade?) soon again. Nationals always inspires me. This will be my 30th year of following the event. Linda Fratianne won all the way back in 1978. I think Wendy Burge took the bronze that year. '78 was also the year Vern Taylor of Canada landed the first triple axel and Denise Biellman landed the first triple lutz in the ladies event at Worlds. Some moments stay with you. sigh....

As for everything else, I'd made this the year to not die and choke inside my clutter. My shredder is getting used regularly, and the recycling bundle is every few days rather than just the weekends. I saw the inside of my vacuum cleaner and was truly stunned at the amount of dust I'm breathing in. Maybe the dust mites are also contributing to my state of health? I'm sure they're not going to be happy when I evict the little buggers. It's time for change and a positive state of mind.

Work is well. Strong. Good. I am still not used to people having casual conversations with me, since it was so long ago that I had human beings around me. I feel like Mowgli the Jungle Girl put into civilization for the first time. The adjustment is just so jarring. I didn't think it would be this way. I also keep waiting for the work to get piled on, but I realize it's a bunch of recurring little things I have to keep track of, like conference calls, calendars and checks. That's a manageable workload. I never thought I would have that again. Time to go to lunch. Time to clean off my desk. Time to do virus scans and filing. Oh, I worked with the personality disordered, alright. These people have quirks, those people were BIZARRE. And, as Kjou told me, they will be HANDLED. Let's see if the new board has anything to say about it. I sit and wait with a toothy grin.

Wow. Sky got dark again. Should I wear my coat when I go out to do laundry today? Hmmm....I'll just have to guess.
