Get A Grip

Man, here we go again! Winter!!! Winter!!! Did I say Winter???

Cold, gray, dreary and my mood has followed. But as Merle Haggard sang "if we make it through December....."

"We" must mean me, my horse Shadow and my cat Smokey, since I am single now. That's a good thing, although difficult in some ways. For the most part, I am much happier. Funny thing, my ex is too, he has found himself a girlfriend and I am quite pleased about that. Now, if I could just find a good friend for myself, that would be lovely.

I was able to leave work at about noon today, because our furnace is on the fritz, and while we could deal with the temp in the low 60's, the smell of gas drove us out. (After we turned off the gas however.) We will see if someone can fix it tomorrow, otherwise we may have another day off.

I mailed a package off to Young Son today, this will be his last Christmas in the mission field; he returns home at the end of February. I will be SO pleased for that! I have missed that toad immensely!

OK, back to the doldrums now...
