Blah blah blah

It was NOT a dark and stormy night, that's for sure. In fact, it was pretty damn gray out there today and has been for the past few days. I hate it when it's like that. Everything just seems to slow down and fall out of focus. And have you noticed, on gray days it actually seems as though the color is draining out of everything. I swear my truck wasn't as blue today. Yes, I know, just a trick of the light right? Something to do with the physics of light wavelengths and blah blah blah . . .

I went out for a bit today and it clearly wasn't just me feeling gray. Weather like this must get to everyone eventually. People just sort of wander about like they're on auto-pilot. Not a really good day for shopping which is why I went out in the first place. When you're all gray like that it's very hard to make a decision on whether or not to buy anything so I just don't buy anything. It's very easy on the budget :-)

CC, poor thing, is down with the flu in Omaha. Actually she's not DOWN with the flu, she still has to go to the training classes and observe. That's the reason she's there of course. She's all stuffed up though and worse, she can't just take a day off and veg out watching TV. Worst of all, her birthday is tomorrow so she'll very likely be sick in Omaha for her birthday. Not exactly the sort of happiness we were hoping for :-)

On the plus side though, she DID get her social security card today which means she can finally work legally in the US. WOO HOO! Up until now she had to remain on the payroll of the Manila office and it's such a hassle. Now all we have to do is wait for the green card. No telling how long that will be but at least we're making progress :-)
