look ma, no wires!
I bought a wireless router! Planned on getting D-Link but bought Microsoft instead. It was so easy to install! I am tickled! The signal is strong in every room and even outside. I should probably test how far I can go. Heck-- I may become the local ISP! Although, the people here don't seem that technically-minded; I can't imagine there will be any Wi-Fi leeches.

Nights are long
I did absolutely nothing this evening. Certainly I should have unpacked the few remaining boxes and organized my bookshelves and drawers. Instead I played game after game of online crossword puzzles. I tried to control my ravenous hunger-- in lieu of making myself a meal, I scavenged on pickles and marshmallows and plums. My stomach feels peaceful regardless of the mishmash that is swimming in it.
This weekend I hope to see Starsky and Hutch. Quite a few years ago, I went to a 3-day Star Trek convention with my dear friend Audra. At the convention, I bought a Starsky and Hutch fan fiction 'zine. Much to my surprise, the stories all centered on Starsky and Hutch as LOVAHS! Guess I should have realized that by the artful pen and ink drawing of the two on the cover. Silly me, I thought they were just wrestling.

Home again jiggity jig
I am back from Chicago. While I was there, I ate like a pig. A week ago, when I was in Dallas, I also ate like a pig. Now my pants are tight and I have to watch my food intake. Of course, all I want is a great big hot fudge sundae.

fully awake
I have always been an early riser. Years ago I read a quote from (I think) Katharine Hepburn that went: There are 2 types of people in the world, those who awake and want to live and those who would rather sleep and prefer being dead. I wanted to live, of course, and I happily awoke bright and early. Something happened, though. Within the last few years I would awake with a grumble. I didn't want to get up and face the day. Under the covers I would stay, until the very last minute. This morning, in my bed, under MY roof, I awoke bright and early! I felt refreshed and eager to face the day! It was wonderful. I am so happy. I am on my own. I am independent. I am free! I've needed this for a long time-- now it is finally here. And to think all I had to do was act. It was up to me all along. I did it.
