One of my favorite things to do is iChat with Oscar. But watching Oscar videos is a close second. Check this one out:

The Long March Hill
Mother and I always wonder if when traversing the Long March Hill, one is traveling straight up, April 1st being the top of the hill. Or if you go up and down and on April 1st one is standing in the foothills knee deep in rich soil ready for planting seeds. We have come to no conclusion on this, but I'm starting to think it might be different every year. Two nights ago I came down at 4 in the morning to a blanket of snow, so we're definitely not anywhere near the foothills yet.
I still feel insanely miserable. Three days and counting. How will I ever muster the patience to die when I can't even be patient with being sick for a week? I've spent the last three days trying to figure out how I can kill myself when the time comes. The option currently at the top of the list is jumping off a sheer cliff onto rocks far below as that has the added bonus of flying at the end. The problem will be how to get up to the cliffs..... I'm working on that.
We're having our usual spring trials here, which seem to come in 3's. The furnace motor conked out on Sunday morning, the basement door had to be rebuilt, and I'm hoping that number three will not be the roof leaking. The last time that happened, we spent over $5000 before I got up there myself and shoved some sheet metal under five rows of tiles. It's still there.
Help me Obie-wan.

Dammit
I've got a fucking cold...... and I don't even LIKE girl scout cookies.
Sun's out, but I'm dripping snot and still having chills. WTF, over? I did go out and water the peas. I should be planting greens and onions today, but just not up to it.

Japanese Earthquake
Been glued to the computer screen as images of the destruction in Japan are everywhere. It is a disaster beyond imagining. Could not sleep last night as the images kept roving around my brain. I continue to think of all the people who are cold, thirsty and hungry and also of the pollution of our planet through this event. We are such a toxic species! The plutonium is the most concerning aspect of the nuclear meltdowns, and just like with the BP oil spill, I think officials always seek to put the best face on it. I am sure that the situation is dire.
My joy in life continues to be the Jolly Rancher in Asheville. Thank the Goddess for iChat, as I get to see his smiling face often and hear his little crow and see his darling four teeth.
Sun's out, I've got the day off and a lunch date. I'm outta here!

7 Months Gone
Holy cow, seven months since the last post. And dang, if I'm not sitting in the very same chair at work and thinking the very same thing about XM radio. Whew, need to do something about that situation!
In the meantime, winter happened. I recently thought it was spring, but came down to a kitchen window vista of pure white this morning. Mother said on the phone the other day, "We haven't even started up the long March hill." I am soaking pea seeds in anticipation of Monday, when it will be 45 degrees and I will plant them by the fence behind our new baby red maple.
Other news: I broke a blood vessel on the bottom of my foot. Very painful, now more like having a rock in my shoe. I try not to complain about it, no doubt I will soon absorb it into the large and growing stable of "crap that is happening to me as I age".
Well, back to work. It's so much more fun to read Heather's blog than to write my own.
