3 days off - Whoo Hoo!

Valentine's Day was okay. I received come cute cards from co-workers and one from a lovely friend in Brooklyn who is overcoming an illness - YOU GO GIRL!

Be sure and go to YouTube and see "March of the Librarians". It's hysterical.

And I thought I could leave early today, but didn't want my staff to be alone, so took off in the middle of the day. Haven't done that in a while and I admit I didn't like it as much as I used to.

But this weekend will be nice. Don't know yet what I will do - kind of like leaving my options open. Maybe I will dress like Calvin Coolidge and speak very presidentially on President's day.
Anyway, each day will be interesting!

Dorothy with no shoes

Well, today was interesting. I drove to one of the branches to do a program and there was a tornado warning at the site. So everyone was in a small place and we waited and waited. The warning kept expanding and then there was word that hail was forming as well!

By 5:50pm we all decided to cancel the program.

So I drove home and it was wet, but clear. Thank goodness no major damage where I could see, but other counties north and south of us got hit pretty bad. I guess that's life as we know it in Alabama. I heard that Tornado season is generally March through August, although tornadoes can occur at any time of year. They tend to occur in the afternoons and evenings: over 80 percent of all tornadoes strike between noon and midnight.

How exciting (not!)

Anyway, it's supposed to get more colder this weekend, dipping down into the 'teens!


Well we'll see!

Well, sorry about not corresponding. It's been busy. And since Valentine's Day is coming up, I need to get writing again.

I now have my CPAP machine and it has helped! I actually started having dreams - not that I can remember them, but I do know I have dreamed most nights. And some unexpected benefits that I didn't foresee, but if I tell you then you will get TMI (too much information) about me.

Thinking about Valentine's Day - sometimes I wish I had someone to care about me - a guy - so that I could feel what many other people feel - passion about someone else. Maybe love is a many splendid thing - I wouldn't know. I have never been in love. I have resigned myself to never experiencing that emotion with a member of the opposite sex. Actually I gave that up in my 30s.


Whoa - you say - how sad. Not really. I love a lot of people, just not in that way. Maybe one day I might believe in love again, I don't know. That's not for me to say, but a greater power.

Anyway, tonight is the start of the Westminster dog show. What fun!

Getting better all the time!

Well, I was at the sleep clinic last night and used the CPAP mask/machine.

It helped a lot and I did a lot of REM sleep. So tonight I will begin using my mask/machine at home. I also bought a wedge so I can position myself so I won't lie on my back. When I do, my oxygen level goes down.


I also found out that my sister is going to a sleep clinic soon for the same thing! Sleep Apnea runs in families and as we talked today we decided that both our mother and father had this. So - naturally - we would have it. Only it showed up when we are both in our middle years.

I am staying WW legal today and and trying to down all that water before early evening.

Today was a beautiful day outside - not too warm but not too cold. And I am trying to get through the Newbery winner "Higher Power of Lucky" by Susan Patron.

It's okay, but I am not very into it, although I am almost through with the novel. If a book grabs ya in the start, then that is a fabulous book - like Lois Lowry's "The Giver" series.

Anyway, enough of that.

Looking forward to seeing what happens on American Idol and if there is an outstanding voice - not like I am any judge. But it is fun to predict and see if you have a favorite that will make it to the finals. Dancing with the Stars was like that - very entertaining and I got hooked into it - enough to vote every week online.

Well - it doesn't take much to entertain me.

Sleepy time

Well, tonight I go back to the sleep clinic and get tested all over again with the C-PAP machine.

I am hoping that I will have a good experience tonight as I would love to go to bed and sleep all night and wake up refreshed.

Just a wonderful goal!

So I will find out soon enough.



What about those Colts? Great as I like Coach Dungee a lot and also Peyton Manning isn't bad either!

Chilly nights - hot tamales?

well, today is almost done. Our meeting went long and everyone will eventually find that this summer will be a good one. I will not let people's fears and words affect me - not anymore!

I am letting go of things that will damage me - emotionally, spiritually, and - one day - physically.

I feel for my boss - she is going thtough some hard times. I hope everthing will be resolved one way or the other.

I don't have much to say today, but will try to do something more creative tomorrow.

Well, today is almost over. It was a pretty good day, although we were supposed to go to another library to visit and the weather was too raw to go out.


So finished up notes for a meeting tomorrow and a friend and I went to the Olie Garden for lasagna - Mmmh Mmmh Good!


And tomorrow we are going to search for the Mysterious location of Einstein Bagels - I just found out there was one and not too far from work! So will report back this weekend to fill in details.

Don't let the "raindrops keep fallin on your head"
