Im Up

Dianne has been baking cookies all afternoon
this is a ginger snap and very good.


Today is the first day out of bed this week. I have not gotten the disease as bad as Dianne has but I got it bad enough to put me down. I plan on going into work tomorrow to see how I do. I should be off after tomorrow with the exception of making some meeting I promised before I scheduled my Holiday leave. I still have shopping and posting to do and this illness has really cut into my plans. I have to running now just to get things done in time.

We still do not have our LAN line installed so we are living off our Cells and this is not too bad. I have even called by my stately mother—so if she can reach me via the CEL then I know anyone can. We have the cable connection for the systems so maybe we don’t even need a LAN connection for the phone use any longer. I have to move forward. There is nothing anywhere which states you have to have a LAN connection to real. Having a LAN connection just feels good like foursquare, like owning land or having money in a regular bank account not a “Money market” “High Risk” or what ever. Just a solid account. Something to think about and consider.

I zipped into my State mail account a few minutes ago and everything looked OK. No “bombs:” that I can see at this point. No emails from the boss labeled “see me”. I hate the “See me” message weather on tests( when in school) or emails in the work world. They are always bad news. But none today. Work is grinding to it’s Holiday halt—this year it seems the whole senior State echelon of the State work force is retiring so there are more farewell notices then usual. I have a couple of meeting requests in the email and the usual electronic Christmas Cards, jokes and State announcements and threats but nothing deserving my immediate attention. I noticed on my blog visitation page that visits are down considerable from my high point of 10 visits a day to 4. I am wondering, because I have been ill and not checking my blog as I usually do, the higher numbers are generated by extra visits to my blog to check it out when I post.

The days continue to be cold and dreary; just a few days before solstice now. The inversions seem every to be with us now but today a reprieve with a front moving through and scouring the air but then tomorrow a High is build up and then inversions will be back soon. Even, though Solstice is a turning date and the first “real” day of winter—I always use Solstice as the end of Winter. I know this is strange but true with me. As the amount of daylight lengthens each day following Solstice so do my hopes the advancing Spring with swift sand unusually warm
