Update!

Hey there everyone!

Realized I haven’t posted in a while, thanks to school, of course. It’s going okay so far this semester.

We had a short week this week, and I ended up missing a couple classes because I got myself sick. I went to algebra yesterday morning, and by the time I was done with the class, I felt like I was going to pass out, so I skipped accounting and sat in the atrium just trying to will myself to feel better enough to drive home. Then I went to my Personal Finance teacher and told her I was sick, gave her the homework that was due, and then went home, where I basically passed out on the couch until this morning.

I still feel a little under the weather today, but only had one class today so went to school for it (my other class was canceled). I am feeling better this afternoon, but still not quite 100%. Supposed to meet up with fellow classmates tonight for a concert at Labyrinth, but I am thinking I am might have to skip that.

There is a party after that get together that I know for a fact I am skipping, but some of us were talking about going out to some of the bars (those of us old enough to actually get into a bar, of course.) That could be fun, but we will have to see how I am feeling later this evening.

We got our first snowfall today. Nothing too bad, but when you don’t feel good and then have to brush snow of the truck before you can go anywhere, it’s a royal pain in the ass! Even now it’s colder than hell, and there is more snow predicted for tonight. Then, as is the case around here, the temperature is going to head back up into the ‘60s, so all of the snow is going to melt and we’ll end up with mud all over the place. Thank god I replaced my windshield wipers this past weekend, otherwise there would be no way to see out the truck.

I had thought I should probably take some pictures of the truck covered in snow before I went to school, then figured I would have plenty of opportunity in the future to do so, as this was just the first of many snow storms that are going to dowse us this winter.

What I am really hoping for is a picture of the tree next door once the leaves have all fallen off, and the snow coats the berries. When the berries are all that remains on the tree (and I don’t know what kind of tree it is) and then we have a snow storm, the snow piles onto the berry clusters and makes each cluster look like little bells hanging on the tree. It’s really pretty.

Anyway, now I am living up to the slogan of the site and just wasting space in this post, guess it’s time to finish this off and get cracking on some reading. I have to return the book to the library in 6 days, and I am only a 3rd of the way through it.

I’ll try to focus more and get some further updates as I can.
