Well, I almost started off the same way as I did yesterday... not a good start on the day. I was up again until 04:30, didn't get a very good sleep, for some reason. Probably 'cause I left the door open. Or maybe 'cause that's just the way I am this rotation. Crummy start, crummy all the way through. Bad attitude about it, self-fulfilling prophesy sort of thing.

Couldn't see the KU game last night, it was on ESPN2, which is expanded cable, we only have basic. But that's OK, I read the account in the paper, it would've depressed me anyway. However, the Chiefs (Go Chiefs!) are on today at 15:00, so I will get my football fix this weekend. That, and the Cowboys will get beaten again on Monday Night Football!

I never got the mower going yesterday, worked some more on it today, I'm about ready to take it to someone to get it fixed. I hate mowers and mowing and yard work in general, unless I'm in the mood for it. I do get in the mood for yard work sometimes, but not very often, and very very seldom when it really needs to be done.

Karen got up early this morning and went out with Kim to do their Sunday thing. I slept 'til 12:00, about the time Karen left. She should be back before the game starts, I hope she brings Lacee with her, I haven't got to see my little sweetie for a few days.

So, anyway, I spent most of the night on the net, checking out some of the new members in the Open Pages Web Ring. Very interesting. I have been reading the journals and then checking out the rest of their sites until now, but I reversed that last night, doing the site visit, the the journals. I don't know why I put that in... I'm starting to ramble, which means I probably should take my medication or find something else to do for a while... like watch the news on CNN. See if there's another war anywhere yet, which religious fanatics are killing other religious fanatics right now in the world. Maybe we should just say to the world..."religious wars are OK... just don't kill people for economic reasons"? Or should it be the other way around? I get so confused sometimes when people are killing other people. I'm just really glad no one wants to kill me. Or if they do, they can't find me... actually, they don't know I'm here, maybe I should just be really really quiet, like a little mouse, like a fly on the wall...

Nah.

I do seem to be over my headache, though, for which I am thankful. Say, to whom is an atheist thankful? Why, why... I must be thankful to me! To my body, my brain, for overcoming such a powerful opponent... whatever it was that made my head ache. Probably some minor virus, the one that got Lacee earlier in the week, and the same one that got Karen yesterday. So, let's hear it for my brain and my body, to whose powerful defence mechanisms I owe my life and well-being! Yeahhhh! BRAIN! Go-o-o-o BODY! Good cellular reflexes!

A very well-known on-line journaler has a silliness file, recounting conversations between her and her husband that have a kinda surrealistic quality. My equivalent is talking to myself. Usually I don't report these monologues. There's a reason for that. I wish to remain on the outside of the loony bin. They probably don't let you have access to the net on the inside...

Well, I think that I'll end this portion of todays' entry on a positive note. Huh. Wonder what I had in mind, there. So maybe I'll just end it here. Yeah, that's it! Just end it. More later, stay tuned...

The main purpose of these statements is to cheer those journalers who meet my criteria of being perfect and to encourage those who don't... it's possible to be perfect (at least in my eyes!) And if you can't... well, I want you to know that I love you anyway! After all, you have to love your kids if they're imperfect, your family, your lover, your soulmate... so I do love the other journalers on the web, perfect or not!

However, I am just a wee bit prouder of those who please me every day by having an entry and by giving me an easy way to get there! Microsoft Mail (tm) will let me click on a URL in a message and automatically opens it for me... isn't that wonderful! And it also lets me email a group of people (like my notify list) very easily.

Speaking of notify lists... I haven't had anyone join lately. I was just notified that I was the first to join another notify list of an open pages journaler, a sweet young lass who called me "dahlin"! I just love it! Anyway, I have some openings... I want to see how far Microsoft Mail will let me go...
