Dear as the vital warmth that feeds my life;
Dear as these eyes, that weep in fondness o’er thee.

~ Thomas Otway, Venice Preserved, Act v. Sc. 1.

Things which are good:

1) Sister, mother, father and brother who take care of those who are sick a-bed and weeping;

2) Sister who will drive one to and fro and round about to Friday's;

3) The purchase of Hans Zimmer's The Last Samurai, and James Newton Howard's Peter Pan;

4) Warmth, warmth, ah blessed warmth!

5) Sleeping, propped on pillows;

6) Free fish in my belly, or at least costly French Onion Soup in me belly, with a side of Caesar Salad;

7) The purchase of a deep purple shirt which strikingly matches my crimson tresses.

Things which are nicht so gut:

1) Legs which are killing one to the point of making walking down stairs a gimpy experience;

2) Lack of time, lack of time, lack of time;

3) Concern for weight;

4) Concern for Fr. Larry and possible imminent retirement which would change things around quite a bit and not necessarily to the better;

5) Coldness outside, not felt since the late 1800's.

But mostly good. Mostly contented. Mostly happiness and peacefulness, warrented or not. And now to do something about my e-mail.

Mood: Pax, Domina
Music: The Last Samurai - very Zimmer
Wish: For the running of the bulls a la Julie, a car, and a megaphone.
