Self-Indulgence

I finally got all the yard and garden work done for the year, so I’ve given my permission for snow. We’ve had flurries for a minute or two a couple of times this past week, but mostly it’s still all been rain, rain, rain and gloom, gloom, gloom. I’m looking forward to the snow, since I’ve come to believe that the only thing that will make the rain stop is the snow falling.

And I’ve been sick with a cold. So have several other people in the family. We look worse than we feel and we feel pretty rotten, but then it’s hard to look like much with a kleenex dangling from each nostril.

On top of the rain and the gloom and the dangling kleenexes, three of us have been experiencing a fall funk. Not me. I had my yearly low in May and June this year, but still, it’s hard to remain cheerful when everyone around you is dissatisfied with life. Things are looking up, though, and two of the three have taken positive steps toward better things, like new schools and new jobs.

When I first set my blog up on Squarespace, I imported part of the Blogger blog, but was unable to import all of it. I’d like to move some of my favorite posts from the old blog over here, and since I’m not really up to more difficult tasks, I may tackle part of that project today and tomorrow, so if you see things in your feed reader that you think you’ve read before, you are probably right.

One more thing: Anyone up for a game of email Scrabble? If you are, send me an email and I’ll set one up.

More Like the Hare Than the Tortoise

howitt_samuel_thehareandthetortoise.jpgI’m talking about my internet connection again. Today it’s faster, occasionally, but only in short fits. Then I’ll have no connection at all for a while.

The problem is wider than just my provider. I waited in line in the store today behind a woman trying to pay by debit card. The connection timed out three times and then went through on the fourth.

I’m going to try to finish the WLC post, but don’t hold your breath.
