Slept in today. Think I will don some old cruddy clothes and clean out my pond for the season. My hands will be numb from cold water and I'll smell like leaf rot and slime but it's one of the annual projects that heralds Spring. Can't wait too long or the lilies and cattails and iris' will get messed up.

More resume work today. My "job" isn't quite what I'd hoped or been promised. It's been three weeks since the initial interview and the lady can't get her crap together enough to figure out what hours she wants me to work. So far it's been run here and work at this school and then go to this group home, next month...yadda yadda. Makes me crabby just thinking about it! I'd much rather think about pond slime. =)

LOL Goodmorning All! And goodmorning, Sassafras! Call me weird but I'd much rather do jobs like clean pond slime, shovel snow and clean the garage than go to a JOB. My current job is an on-call job and I hate that. I'm on the schedule Mon-Fri but I have to call in every morning to check if they actually need me. Yup, time to look for a new job. Have fun playing in the pond! I'll bet Abby would LOVE to help and I use the word help loosely. :o)

Sounds cool Splapeen! Drive careful.

My back is a tad sore from carrying five gallon pails of pond water around the yard yesterday. I can't just dump it anywhere, the cherry tree got two, raspberries five, blackberry canes two....

Pond looks great though. A good amount of fresh water and a new pump and fountain.

This weekend I'll attend a continuing education seminar on Sports massage with world renowned Benny Vaughn. Looking forward to it a lot.

Freezing drizzle this AM but it's suppose to warm up to the high 30's today. I can deal with that. It's the predicted snow for Monday and Tuesday I can do without. I love snow but once spring comes, I don't want it anymore.

My sweetheart is on his way here. I've got dinner marinating. I made the blackberry Kahlua cheesecake last night. It just occured to me that I haven't thought of lunch. hmmmm... I know! BLT's.

Have a great day, all!

Good morning. I hate dst, I never seem to adjust.

It's supposed to be 87 here today, way too warm. There's a dry cool front coming through tonight though, to knock tomorrow's high back down into the mid 70's where it belongs. Dang pressure waves.

good morning folks. still scratching/itching from the overnight 28 miler.....more darn poison ivy in those woods than I've ever seen anywhere. It was still tore up from Rita and we had to scramble over/under/on top of fields of fallen trees to stay on trail. we ended up just looking for blazes for 20 miles of the whole trail. last time I ever go back on that trail. at least there's the 'relief' of my morning coffee to ease the itch.......

Good morning! Did everyone sleep in today?

The oh so generous Canadians sent a cold front last night. We're back down to 31° this morning. Yesterday was 50something°.
But the sun is shining and at least nothing (fruit trees) is blooming yet.

Good morning! Found ourselves without a single coffee filter this morning. Unfortunately that meant we had to go out to breakfast. =)

Ice on the birdbaths this morning and cold temps. The sun is shining and it looks like a promising day.

I am all by myself for most of the day. Debating going for a nice hike somewhere....

I really need to sit down and do some research on why athletes should have regular massage.....write down the possitive effects and make up a phamplet. That just doesn't sound like much fun right now.

I'm finally signing in this morning. Real light sleep lately, just too excited and tons of work to do first. I'm going to have to relearn everything about gardening, koi care and water chemistry, all of that. Hell, I'll need to buy a whole new wardrobe! Ha ha ha! Just when I got used to a subtropical zone I'm moving north!

Ugh, I couldn't sleep worth a hoot last night. I gave up about an hour ago, so here I am, drinking the first mug of coffee, and it doesn't taste good to me. Not a good sign, there. I just need to wait for the caffeine to kick in. I've noticed it takes much longer to metabolize caffeine from coffee than it does from other sources.
