Daily Nilknarf Haiku

The wind from the west
precedes the dead cold north wind;
I will remain warm.

I went to bed at 20:20 last night, and Karen came down at 21:00 and gave me a nice rub; and I slept until 04:00, when the snot goblins got me again.

Today was kinda fun at work; I was in the undefined position, the "desk" but I got to have a lot of patient contact... my life, as it were, at work.

And I have been thinking a lot about Mom: the way that she talked about my work, and how I loved it, and about how she thought that it was perfect for me.

My mother was proud of me, and she was proud of my brother.

And I miss her so much.

Going through her pictures, I have so many questions... questions that only she can answer.

When I am dead, I want my boys to have all of the answers. Boring as they might be, heh.

And Mom was always willing to answer... as long as the question was asked. I didn't know how to ask the right questions, I'm afraid.

Damn, I miss her.

And the mysteries that she leaves.

An example: who ***really*** tried to poison my great-grandfather?

I miss Mom for lots of reasons; but the main one is that she was a big part of my life, and her opinion really counted.

Except, of course, when it came to religion and politics.

Her opinions there, in my head, were over-ruled.

And I need to make another early night of it...

I had a pacer check today, and it was more or less OK....
