Windy out there...

but I'm here inside with my cat laying peacefully at my feet. If that isn't love I don't know what is. He knows who feeds him! Went to IL Spazio for an early lunch, and had the lasagna. I paid a little over twelve bucks for it, and I've had better homemade. It was good, but I would just as soon eat athome. I thought about making a small pot of chili, but I also wanted to get out and about. It was pretty miserable outside, windy and cold. Snow still lingering. I think it will be there for some time. Been doing some school shopping and some grocery shopping. Glad to have some food in the house from which to choose my meals. I tried to catch the bus, but it was so cold that I decided to take the taxi service home. I actually ended up out to Walmart, looking for odds and ends. Picked up some Glucosamine supplements. Trying to keep from falling apart when I get older. I can feel the difference now when I stop taking it for whatever reason.

Havin a heat wave!

I am so glad to see our local temps up into the positive double digits again! I couldn't believe how cold it got! I walked home from work this morning and it was in the teens, and I'll tell you, it felt good to walk. I do get some enjoyment out of it. It is a nice way to clear the mind after working all night long. When the weather s bad, I take the taxi, unless I get off work too early. SinceI'm in Grad School now, I told them at work that I could no longer go in at 2am and ice donuts. There is no way I'll do it. It is getting to be time for me to move on with my life. I appreciate the opportunity they have given me to earn a little paycheck, but I need something substantial. I'm hoping that when I become a full fledged grad student that I will be able to get an assistanceship. That would be an $800 per month stipend! Plus, they would cover part of my school expenses!
