    Nothing in particular

    I opened this window, not even knowing what i was going to write about... hmmm, that's weird, usually I have some idea of at least a starting point.  I tend to meander off the original intent, but there's always a starting point.  Not so, today. Guess I'll just keep typing and see where we end up.  Delete is a marvelous thing, so if you never see any of this, don't feel left out, that just means that it was even crappier than the usual drivel.
     
    The week was crappy weather-wise, but my seasonal state of down-in-the dumps is a little better.   My Aunt June gave me a tidbit to remember that helps some.  'There are reasons for the seasons'.  yep, we're doing a mighty fine job of killing off bugs this winter, and I do like wearing sweatshirts, they are soooo comfly... so winter isn't all bad. I'm still tired of the ice and snow, but it's March, so we should be through with the worst of winter... time to move on to those soft spring showers and blooming azaleas.
     
    Work is work... and as Joe says, that's why it isn't called vacation. I like having cool stuff and eating and not sleeping in a cardboard box, so I guess I'll keep working, and I hope they keep paying me.
     
    We had a leap day this year - February is a weird month for me - lots of life-events happened to me in Februrary.  I got engaged at age 40, on Valentine's day.  The odds of a woman in her 40's getting married are astronomic, I don't know exactly what they are, but it's something like 100 to 1.  I started my first-ever real job on Valentine's day, 31 years ago, and I started the first job of my new Pennsylvania-life on Leap-Day, 2000.   I still remember the scared feeling I had, and that my mom made me a sandwich to take for supper for the first job (it was an evening shift job).  I still remember the scared feeling I had while driving to the PA job, too, but for that job, I was greeted at the door by the Department Assistant who handed me a bouquet of 2 doz. tulips and welcomed me to the organization.  
     
    Well, guess that's enough rambling - I probably should hit delete, but I don't have anything better...so we'll leave it at this for now. :)
