The weather people have been predicting gloom all week - the gloom was to start today - gray and rainy for days to come. So far, their timing is a bit off. I do not like bright sunlight when I walk, thank you very much. It makes it hard to get good pictures, it gets in my face and sometimes it's too hot. So when you promise gloom, I want gloom delivery!

And, while I'm griping, would the person in charge of changing the number of days until opening on the Krispy Kreme sign get with the program???? On 1/31 it said 56 days left. On 2/7 it said 47 days left. On Wednesday it said 42 days left and today it says 42 days left. Now, I know the construction schedule could be fluxuating... But, I think maybe it's the person in charge of changing the number of days who is fluxuating. My birthday is March 28 and I want that sucker open if not by then, close to it!

The cats were heavily into Trap The Human last night. Several times I woke up and was paralyzed by cats on either side of me - I couldn't move a whisker. I'm sure they were very annoyed when I hustled them out of the way. But, they need to remember who's paying the bills around here. They do not give unemployment benefits to cats. I looked it up.

My domain name has already caught up with my new hosting company and all is back good again only this time I'm paying $44 a year instead of $25 a quarter.

Tomorrow is Kitchen Clean Up Day. The goal is to toss out old food. (I drank a Diet Dr. Pepper the other day that had 1997 stamped on the bottom of it - it had been in the trunk of the car but I bought the car new in 1999... FYI - DDP loses some of it's key flavors after a bit... it's not terrible but it's not today either). Reorganize so that I have more room for the stuff I need more and the stuff I don't need gets a new home via GoodWill. It's a Saturday job because NPR programming is good until 1 p.m. and that's about when I lose interest in any morning project.

Today is General Tso's Chicken day at the deli across the street and I think I'm just going to treat myself.
