Day: February 12, 2005

I just checked my calendar. We’ve had sickness in the house since the first week of January. This rhinovirusocerous keeps trampling through knocking family members flat and then coming around for another pass. Howard has been knocked flat twice. I was knocked flat once and feel like I’m going down again. Kiki has been down twice. Patches three times. Gleek once. Link twice. I’m tired of winter. I want sunshine and warm weather so that we can all get outside and stop being sick.

Weather forcast for the next week: Cold, gray, rainy.

Motivation was really hard to come by today. Usually Saturdays are full of bustling work. I’m going to blame the rain. The cold wet gray outside made me want to curl up with a book not run around cleaning or inducing kids to clean. Some cleaning got done, but not enough. I finished my book though and it it was a really good story.

Perhaps the best thing today was that all the bits of ideas that I’ve had floating in my head began to coalesce into a story. Hopefully this story won’t take six months to come together the way the last one did.
