Friday, Friday, Friday. I'm trying very hard not to let anyone steal my sunshine today - after all, there is a GAME tonight, and I'm excited. But before the game, there's 50, 000 things to do, and technology is not my friend today. I need to load a program on my new PC, and of course I can't find the damn CD. My filing system doesn't suck, it's just non-existent, and if there were ever an earthquake, I'd be found buried under a stack of fallen CD's, no doubt clutching the one I can't find right now, because I'm sure it's in here. Somewhere. Has to be. I didn't eat it. And they don't make good coasters. I'd use my old PC to run the program, but I have a test machine set up in it's old spot - a test machine that crapped out on the install yesterday, and I'm not touching it again until someone in CSI tells me what I did wrong, since I'm positive it's my fault. People laugh at my dual PC/dual flat panel setup/dual keyboard and mouse (I know - get a KVM. But it's so much nicer to have both available at the same time, or to be able to work on one while watching the other). Maybe if I cleaned my desk, I'd find my software. Or maybe I'll just play one more hand of Spider while I try to remember what I did with it...

On the ride into work this morning I let myself be lost in the foggy mist and enjoyed the last of the snow from this past weekend. It will no doubt be gone soon, soaked into the ground as if it never existed. Snow for me has always held a deeper meaning. I am happiest when it snows, yet I couldn't begin to explain why. So I looked out the window, imagining romantic characters striding across the pure white expanses, and just breathed in the beauty. Snow wraps around the seemingly dead landscape, and whispers promises of rebirth and renewal as it gently cradles the world in its soft, white blanket.

Here I stand again, speaking to an empty room. My thoughts aren't worth the cyberspace they would take up if I cared to tweet or post to Facebook, but here I stand anyway. I had no idea how long it had been since my muse had forced me to write. I used to write almost daily, poetry mostly, when I was younger and believed that someone cared what I had to say. I wanted to be e.e. cummings or T.S. Eliot or anyone who seemed to be so comfortable in his own skin to pour out his emotions onto a blank page. It took me a few years to realize that the writers who filled my pantheon of literary deities were not that comfortable after all, but wrote because not writing was more painful than the spilling of emotion. So I think I will take up my keyboard once more, wade out into the battle, and write.

Got a late start today, so apparently Karma says I have to make up for it by being incredibly busy. I've been in the office for three hours, and I've spent at least one hour answering e-mail, one hour acting as counselor, and one hour on the phone. It's 2:00 and I'm finally getting my first cup of coffee for the day - what does that tell you. So far I've learned that most doctors are quacks - they all just guess at the problem, and sometimes they get lucky and guess right. I've learned that if you subscribe to Ifit.com, eventually you'll catch an ear-worm - I've listened to essentially the same music over and over for so many months now that I often catch myself humming it. I've learned that my sister is a nutcase and sends me way too much funny stuff. At least it's Friday.
