Monday Blahs

I don’t know what it is today, but I have absolutely no energy and am interested in doing nothing but watching TV. If you know me, you know how weird that is. But I figured I’d best haul myself off the couch and get the first post of the day done since I’m running really late.

There is Hope for Spring!

I woke up this morning to blue skies, sunshine, almost 40F, and my daffodils are almost four inches tall! I know that we’ve more than likely got one more snowstorm coming, because that’s how it works here, but almost all the signs are in place. Only thing missing is seeing my first robin, but that can’t be too long now. I feel like I’ve just crawled out of a huge, dark cave. In fact, the other day on the news they said we got more sunshine in the first few days of March than we had in all of December. I like it!

Congratulations, Canada!

It got a little tense there toward the end, but y’all held on for the win. So we’ll be seeing you Sunday, and may the best team win. Tonight, of course, will be Slovakia vs. Finland, and I’m having my usual dilemma about it. Neither team is my country, of course, but both teams contain players I watched grow up through the AHL and who either did play or do play for my NHL team. I’m leaning more toward Finland for various reasons, but I can’t say I’ll be disappointed no matter who walks away with the bronze.

It Doesn’t Rain, It Pours

I’ve done pretty much nothing for the last couple of days, and will continue to do nothing for the foreseeable future after Thursday. But today and tomorrow I’m so busy I’m not quite sure when I’ll have time to eat. And there is a lot of really good hockey happening for most of today, too, darn it! Oh well, my professional life calls, and I must answer. And I would be willing to bet we’ll probably have a TV or two tuned to Olympic hockey coverage even while our AHL team plays tonight.

WAY Out of Practice!

Have you ever gone back to doing something you used to do so often it became second nature after an extended break? Did you feel like a blithering idiot? I feel like I’ve never done my job before, as opposed to having done it for twenty years. In a way, it’s kind of neat…like having a new career, but one I already know I’m going to love!
