**ForbiddenSpice** yay for the blown up blog and weanin’ the kidlets from tv/internet. I spend way to much time on teh intartoobz but that’s partly irk related.

OYKW is stuck at irk, poor thing. He’s tryin’ to catch up paperirk stuff, mostly in the form of patient charts. So, no OYKW tonight. I asked him if he wanted me to take sustenance over to his place so he can eat when he gets home but he says he has stuff so I ain’t gettin’ out. It’s cold and windy.

I got spam email supposedly from Natalie Portman with the subject “Rapid fire weight loss Beyonce Knowles.” I also got email supposedly from Ban Ki-moon about an ATM card.

Back. Tired. Skimmed. Back hurts.

I have many boxes. I shall be sorting merrily come tomorrow. I left many more boxes behind due to space constraints, the fact that I and I alone would be carrying these boxes up to my apartment (and I alone is a lazy slacker), and the fact that the weather was turning into a total _ratbag_. I drove down the Curvy Part of 40 damn near blind due to fog and it started \*sleeting \*as I was unloading the car. Also, I had only eaten a bowl of oatmeal this morning and my belly decided my backbone was good gnawin’ material. I have since consumed a Whopper Jr and the gnawing is coming to an end.

I hereby state after seeing the total pile of crap my dad’s house is that I Will Never Be A Hoarder. Goodwill Is My Friend. If I Haven’t Used It In Six Months, Away It Goes. So…much…stuff…

Daughter and I had supper at Salsa’s. I’m home and she’s probably home by now, too. She’s hoping for enough snow that school is canceled tomorrow - teachers are worse than the kids!!!

It’s 36° and raining, but I saw half a dozen snowplows staged in parking lots in Leonardtown. This county is great about keeping ahead of the snow! I think it’s overkill, tho - the latest report I’ve seen says about an inch of wet snow - so there probably won’t be anything on the road, as wet as it is.

\*\*FCD \*\*called, he should be home early tomorrow afternoon. Yay! Then we can buy paint! But for the rest of the night, I’m going to veg and knit.

I’m managing laundry, and hopefully can put together a casserole tonight. DH is getting kind of tired of the leftover meatloaf :).

I’d only intended to do one load of laundry, having discovered last night the sheets were smelling a little less than fresh. That load is in the dryer, Load 2 is now in the washer, with Load 3 queued up. I’ve already re-made the bed (using an alternate set of sheets), so the cat had covers to burrow under. She disapproves of having the windows and patio door open, but it’s nice enough here that I thought it was a good idea to ventilate a bit. Considering that I have a backache, that cat is definitely spoiled. 🙂

De-clawing cannot occur soon enough.  
Four toes and four holes when my arm was used as a launching pad.

Long day. I’m honestly not used to the ‘regular working world schedule’ anymore. I guess there’s no time like the present to jump back in. I’ve got another job tomorrow. It should be interesting. I’ve actually subbed in this room before as the assistant and this time I’ll be the teacher. It’s a severe behavior room which I’ll admit worries me a tiny bit but knowing that there’s two of us in the room makes me feel a little better.

**Swampy** , hope you feel better.

**Soapy** , glad your house is on the market.

Don’t remember much more. Off to bed soon.

Watch out for the weather NE people!

So ready for it to be Friday. While I am grateful to have a job that helps keep a roof over our heads and groceries in the fridge me employer is really really trying both my patience and my loyalty right now and I am on the edge of leaving. Time to at least out the resume out and see how employable I am.
