      be careful what you wish for

      * I confess I was hoping for something that resembled winter before the end of March - but THIS?!?!? ZERO is way too cold for me. Yet who am I to complain when Birding Dad has to work outside all day (although he confesses that between jobs they will get "lost" in a few delis or coffee shops for longer periods than normal).
      * I was praying that we could get a propane delivery before we ran out, and turn up the thermostat again (we've been keeping it quite cool, as the next delivery truck was scheduled for Wednesday and we were quite low). Well, my prayers were answered and we got a delivery yesterday GREAT! You say?? not so - the total for this tank is $2818.86!!! Whaa??
      * I was so anxious for the end of January at work, to finish the "year-end" reporting whether or not I met my goal - just get this stress over with. And here it is February (sigh) with a whole new set of goals and new deadlines and Ekkkkk! an entire new set of grads, graduating from a new program that I still don't know enough about - who will be needing jobs and I'm just not sure HOW I'm going to find them!
      * Now let's hope for the best in THIS ... today I start physical therapy for my shoulder ("adhesive capsulitis" if you need the technical diagnosis, "frozen shoulder" if you don't), I am looking forward to it, because I need some relief from the pain, and definitely need the increased range of motion ... but everyone tells me that what they are going to do will hurt like hell .... so again, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR!
      ... I'll let you know

      To be outspoken when truth is under attack, when charity is being bruised, or when important issues of life are at stake is a good and courageous thing. To be outspoken when nothing is at stake except the feelings of someone else is a small and contemptible thing. ~ Lawrence G. Lovasik (The Hidden Power of Kindness)
