Thursday

[nightdog_barks]

Cold and grey, slight possibility of a little sleet and/or frozen rain. 30 degrees (-1.1 degrees Celsius), with a gusty wind out of the north. Have brought plants back inside (Chango helped by racing back and forth in the backyard with a ball).

Started reading Colossus last night -- so far it is very good, although I did have a "Dear Author" moment when Hiltzik talked about Spanish explorers (Francisco Coronado's men) seeing the Grand Canyon, and then mentioning about twenty pages later that Joseph Christmas Ives would be "the white man who finally located the Grand Canyon." Er. I think he means that Ives was the first to find the canyon's downstream entrance, but, er.

... and now the sun is trying to come out. Hm.

COME ON SUNSHINE YOU CAN DO IT

It's very cold and clear and sunny here. I've got a couple hours to finish this review, and then I'm headed to a meeting late in the afternoon. NEED MOAR TEA.

Ugh, coughing some and feeling headachy and blah.

Hope it's a mild thing that goes away fast.

Beautiful day here. Too much crap to do. The usual. I think the mild illness is making me uncharacteristically crabby, though.

Cool and overcast, with no sun but lots of diffuse light.

Having gone through a job interview this morning, I'm not motivated to do much more than lounge around in my socks. But I'll see if I can push myself to head to the library.

We're back from dinner out, and Zippy Cat is sitting on my desk while purring and butting his head against my shoulder. That's actually a sign of great affection from a cat. :)
