Pic of the day: Uhm, drama queen, that is NOT a knife. (Screenshot from the anime Narue no Sekai, currently available in America under the title "The World of Narue".) Some days I am too tired to notice small details too.

Fast forward

I have slept way too little this week. Whenever it becomes late in the evening, I am wide awake and stay that way until 5-6 in the morning. Consequently, I have only slept an hour or two some of the days. This cannot possibly be healthy. My sinusitis is flaring up, and my gums are becoming inflamed again. I am sure some things happened today, but I was too tired to notice. Tomorrow I will actually do something, though!

Oh, and for much of the month storms have been marching in from the west. Sometimes they pass north of here, and we get just some wind but not the storm and the rain. The warm air from the south makes those days quite comfortable. But sometimes the storm hits here, and it shakes the house and pelts it with chilly rain. On the bright side, all the water is good for a nation that depends almost entirely on hydroelectric power. I keep getting mail from the utility company telling me that they are reducing the price again. Guess I can't complain about that!

To be honest, I would rather have this weather than having to shuffle snow. Children may disagree. Then again, children may convince their parents to drive them to the mountains. I have neither children nor car, and I like it the way it is now.
