bleary-eyed
I have been wide-awake since four o’clock, which was my usual five o’clock wake-up time until last weekend. This is my obligatory “I hate daylight savings time” post. Thank you. Come back later for more. I’ll be bleary-eyed all week. Read.

lotsa stuff
Pretty slow day. Mostly I just watched the hell out of Netflix while I sprawled in a recliner, trying to find a position that was relatively comfortable while allowing my sinuses to drain. Didn’t find one. Watched the first two episodes — about fourth-two hours — of The War by Ken Burns, which I found… Read.

snorfeling
I took the day off from work to do some snorfeling. Snorfeling is what you do when there’s enough mucus in your head to clog all the sinuses in Dane County. I did it pretty much all day in the living room recliner with a cat curled up in my lap. The cat’s not necessary… Read.

First day of March, which I like to think of as the first day of not-February, and it snowed like a great big FU to everyone who was celebrating getting through the worst months of winter, the light at the end of the tunnel, the hope that one day, maybe not soon, but maybe so,… Read.

godzilla bless autofill
The Seanster and I were exchanging giddy text messages about the latest movie teaser for the upcoming Godzilla movie. Turns out my phone not only knows how to spell “Godzilla” already, it autofills “Godzilla” after I type the first three letters, because obviously who would ever stop after typing just “God?” Read.

frozen
For weeks and weeks the temperature outside has been sub-freezing, often falling below zero. It’s been so cold for so long that the city has warned us to keep a faucet running because the frost line is down as far as five feet in some places, freezing water lines. Then it rained all day yesterday.… Read.

what the hell i don’t even geeze
It was pouring rain while we were driving home from work this evening. Pouring. In February. One week ago it was so cold that if you slipped and fell, you stuck to the ground. Today it was pouring rain. And by this weekend I’m pretty sure we’ll be up to our hips in snow again… Read.
