9621 – Wednesday – 2/18

HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY, Li’L BIT!

It freaks me out a little that I’ve been keeping a journal here since before she was a year old.

Fat flakes of Snow today! Turned to rain later on, but at least I got a little touch of white all over the landscape for an hour or so.

A World Without Chocolate? Without Conservation Efforts, Cacao Could One Day Be in Short Supply

9619 – Monday

Hooray for Having the Day off! Thanks, Presidents!

Slept in for a bit, but not too long. Up at about 9am and then we frittered around until about 1 – played more indiana jones lego, and hung out. We decided to hit the 4pm showing of Coraline in 3-D – but before we left, Larry swung by – he needed me to reset the password on an old laptop he had. Found a great utility to do that – boot from CD, run a little line of code, and presto- reset. I’m keeping the CD in my library in case I’ll need it again – I have little doubt that it’s a one-shot item, given the number of computer users in my life.

Anyhow, we went to Annapolis to catch Coroline [corrected form Caraline!]- it was a great movie, very immersive, and the story was nicely spooky, but kid-ish. I wouldn’t have trouble taking my neice and nephew to go see it – they’re 11 and 6. BHK and I noshed on a big tub of corn and diet-soda, so we weren’t too hungry for dinner after the flick. We headed home, waved to the ATW man (skiing at the moment) and got comfy on the couch.

A couple of last-minute chores to do – folding laundry and such, and we watched the season finale of Dr. Who… not bad. I liked seeing the army of companions / spinoff folks all working together.

Dinner was tasty remainder of the matzo ball Soup and pair of quorn patties with munster cheese for dinner. After the Who, we caught up with an episode or two of Ugly Betty.

It’s a "school night", so off to bed early for me! until later, dear journal.

Nice walkies today – cool outside, saw a couple of new neighborhood cats (as well as a few of the regulars) – There are more than a few local houses with ship’s figureheads on them – one on the boardwalk puzzles me a bit, as I think they look better at the tip or meeting of two corners, rather than on a flat surface.

Stopped by the post office – a letter from insurance says I have fibromyalgia , but my doctor hasn’t said anything to me about it. Put me in a bit of a foul mood for a while – stewed in my own juices for a bit, but have since recovered. Giving the situation a name hasn’t really helped with finding a repair situation, and I suspect that calling it such will cause more than a few people to dismiss it like folks do with ADD, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or the like. It is one of those things that is hard ot diagnose, and is likely over-diagnosed. I’m not going to assume anything until we can go over more facts.

Tonight, the in-laws came back over and we watched the remainder of Lost in Austen. To be honest, it was off to a weak start, but was more entertaining in the 2nd half. After that polished off, a little Top Gear helped to elevate the rapidly diminishing testosterone volume. Looks like they’re back on track with the fun goofy stuff, and not so much straight car reviews. I prefer the weird challenges any day.
