Little Things

The printer in the computer lab finally shut down. It spent the last 3 weeks gasping out its dying breath, convinced that it had a paper jam every time someone wanted to print more than one page in a row. So the school is ordering a new one, and printing is being rerouted to the main library computers.

And the lab is so QUIET these days.... I'm enjoying the peace and quiet!

I passed all my 80 word per minute tests last week. Celebrate! Now it's onto 100 word a minute tests. Blah. That was a short celebration; I suck again.

In the meantime, I'm having a rough few days. There's some stuff going on that I can't really talk about, with a few of the people in my life. It's been a hard week and all I want to do is crawl into bed until the sun comes out and the weather warms up. No wonder I can never lose weight in the winter....

So anyway, I'd appreciate some happy thoughts if you've got 'em to spare!

Here is something that will, I hope, bring you a little cheer ... my 40 year-old Pooh Bear (dressed here as his alter ego the Red Baron) says "hang in there kid ... things will get better!"



Sending all our best your way, along with this adorable reminder of the happier spring days that are just around the corner!! :)

Thank you so much! That is all kinds of adorable! You've totally put a smile on my face. :) See?

I only wish you could see the repair job that I did on Pooh's eyes when I was about 5 years-old ... his optical nerves (aka the threads connected to his 'new' button eyes) are carefully sewn all the way through his head, and knotted at the back - in fact he's never lost his eyes since! I also managed to give him a belly button at the time, by sewing up a hole in his stomach ... the poor bear had a very sensible, albeit silly girl to help him out of his medical crises ... :)

Talking to you cheers me up anyway. And working on stories, helps, too. Thank you. :)

Me sending you cuteness of some hopefully kawaii sort. Maybe. Sleep beckons.
