Wow. I'm up, but man do I feel like shit. My body aches, my eyes are crusty, and my left foot is asleep. Someone come make me breakfast? ;-)

Thanks to all the newcomers who left me comments and to guy who sent me the email. Very kind of you. (And sweet)

It's sunny and cold out today. Two more days until March and you'd think the birds would be singing and the passers-by wearing shorts and carrying umbrellas. I may be jumping the gun here but one can dream...

Ever since I've lost my job, there have been a lot of changes around here. Saturdays and Sundays were always reserved for a rented movie or two, and either I or both of us would usually jump in the car and go rent something, stop at a local eatery for lunch, and then grab some stuff for dinner.

I'm surprised that I don't miss that more. I mean, I'd love to be able to just shop and spend money like a madman, but I think this whole unemployment thing has humbled me in a lot of ways. I've decided that when I do find that job, I'm going to have a large amount of it deducted from my check on my W-4s. This way, when I file my taxes next year, the refund will be hefty -- and our combined paychecks will be good, but not good enough to be overly frivolous. The final reward will of course be a new (used) car, or a vacation.

But man, oh man I hope something comes up soon! I am heading out to get the Sunday paper here in a few minutes. Maybe my dream job will be there. Or at the very least -- a shit job that pays something. :-)

Okay. I'm off to take a shower. I haven't shaved in three days, and I look like a complete bum.

Have a great day, folks!
