(no subject)
the doctor told me i needed a couple more days off work to get over whatever the hell it is i am under. i'll take it, though the mess my class will be in when i get back is not a thought i am enjoying.
it continues to snow here. not heavily, but enough to make it miserable-looking and chilly and slippery and all that. sometimes the first snowfall looks quite lovely, with the big flakes and all, but this is just a nasty, breezy, wet, shitty kind of thing. i have occasionally wondered why it is i still live in this part of the country(or world) when i dislike the winter so much. perhaps i should move to australia for the winter;) around here it gets crappy about this time of year and only really gets nice again in april. that's a lot of crap to put up with. the upside of it is that spring is such a beautiful change when it comes, and you know it always will.
don't know exactly how to fill up this day. maria is off to work, so it's just me, the dog and the cats. i guess some reading is the right thing to do. finished 'the chosen' yesterday, but i have it's sequel, 'the promise', waiting in the wings. could rent a movie too i guess, i have to go downtown to pick up a prescription anyway. i've been thinking about watching 'fahrenheit 911', and i know maria has no interest in it(she's american by birth and bush pisses her off enough already so i'm sure it would just make her more angry). could play the piano a bit, i've been slacking lately. i want to commit the jethro tull song 'budapest' to memory, so maybe this is the day to really get that going.
watched a little bit of daytime tv already, and i can see that's not going to be the answer. what a load of crap.
what i really should be doing is writing. i have let that story sit for so long now though, i really don't know if i can pick it up. i'm not exactly the same person i was three years ago when it was coming along so well, so i don't know if i can complete it. i've thought about the middle section that had been plaguing me back then, and i think i know how to work it, but i just don't seem to get my ass in gear. loser.
well, it's 9:00 and the pharmacy will be open, i should get my drugs.
