First for the season...

It is sleeting. There was some earlier, but it was melting on contact with the ground. After a bit of confused light rain, it's changed back to sleet -- and this time it is sticking to the edge of the rain barrel, to the grass and fallen twigs and leaves. So, maybe I'm not going to brave the path to the hot tub. (This a.m. I fortunately noticed that the arborists were back and parked on the side yard, heading for the hack-berry tree on the lot line -- next to the hot tub. I am glad I wore the robe!)

I wish we could have a snow day. Texas schools don't do those, do they? I hear from my sisters that Indiana schools don't have them anymore, either. They need those school dollars.

Time to heat rice sacks and sleep.

Hi, how are you doing? I was on jury duty but got released. I'm home, will try to call you later today. We had sleet/snow yesterday. I don't love snow. Do love you.

I'd be better if the stock market went up over 9000 again. I need to take the Roth 2008 money out because I won't earn enough to put money in unless I won the MM last night. This deepening recession is a bit alarming. I have two friends looking, one for part-time, and they are not having luck -- worse, the first says people are taking a month to say "no" and you know how the longer you wait, the more hopeful you are? I know that feeling.

The second friend's old boss (she was out two years with her youngest) is trying to arrange for her to come back at part-time again. Apparently someone there wants to cut back hours. I wonder if that person will change plans, and the hours for my friend will vanish.

This makes me think I'd better find a job that starts after the first, first.... I hope all the clothing gets sorted and staged today, and receipts in the files. They'e sorted --

we've had snow days.. 2 years or so ago UT & all the Austin schools shut down in early January. It was nice...

Yeah, but I don't get a snow day! Sometimes you'd like an afternoon off to not be the adult -- I'm trying to watch something online and my machine is demanding a zillion updates -- and why has Microsoft stopped sending my auto downloads? The phone is also acting weird today. I do not like this....

Sounds like you're having a mini mercury retrograde! doh!

Happy First Snow. We're on our second, but they don't last long around here, either!
