It's pretty cold today, it has been raining most of the day, and my furnace is burning money, but I think I've gotten an advance on the money my nephew owes me so I'll be able to go grocery shopping tomorrow after all, so hooray. Another can has been kicked down the road, and I'll have something to eat other than ramen next week. Might even have some beer (there was none this week due to short funds last week.) These days, that counts as a great victory.
I'm a bit short of sleep. There's a bag of walnuts I keep forgetting to give my sister, and early this morning Portia discovered them and got one from the bag and began knocking it around the kitchen, so it went rattling across the linoleum and banging against the baseboards and the bottoms of the cupboards. She is taking her household position as alarm cat far too seriously. I'm putting the bag of walnuts in a cupboard instead of on the counter. Hopefully that will take care of that problem and I'll get enough sleep tomorrow.
As the computer is apt to be a pain in the neck I'll be switching to television early tonight. I'm not sure what's on, but whatever it is is bound to be better than watching my browser vanish right in the middle of some task. Now, if the power only stays on....
Oh, and so long Fidel Castro, you sententious, anti-urban, Jeffersonian-agrarian-sentimentalist ass. I know damned well your cigar was never just a cigar.
