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.

No one is more shocked or amazed than I am! The rollers were out of alignment, and I actually managed to put them back. Don’t ask me how…I was tinkering last night at 4am while I wasn’t sleeping, and all of a sudden it was taking sheets of paper individually again. Bonus!

I shan’t name any names to protect the ignorant, but I frequent this particular site which has message boards. This week, they “updated”. Mind you, they “updated” two years ago and there are still things that were broken then that have yet to be fixed by their IT team. The site is run by a corporation most of you have heard of…they have several websites as well as cable TV channels. Their IT department is probably the most incompetent I’ve yet run across, which is saying something. Anyway, they “updated”. Now, the only way to view the site is to log in. Every time you navigate away from the site you are automatically logged out. A login lasts approximately six clicks, and then you have to log in again. The only way to “fix” the problem is to log out, delete all cookies, clear the cache, then go back to log in, but instead of doing so, click on the “forgot your password” link so it is reset via email. Then you can stay logged in for sometimes as many as a dozen clicks without having to go through the whole process again. Ah…improvements. If only they were….

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!

This week, I have decided I cannot take it any more. My mother is on a very restricted diet, which means I have been as well since it’s hard enough to cook for only two people without having to make two separate meals. But this week I have reached the end of my ability. I am cooking with carbohydrates. I am cooking with spices. I am cooking with salt. I am cooking with butter. And if that is a problem, then she’ll have to come up with something else. I am healthy and under 40, whereas she is unhealthy and over 70…something had to give, and I could not let it be my sanity. I love her dearly, but enough is enough.
