Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries.

1. I am still jetlagged and not sleeping and have become the walking dead.
2. The change I made in my diet a couple of months ago to avoid food that is bad for me and to try to lose weight has at last reached the breaking point.
3. It's f--ing snowing out there again. All f--ing day.
4. I work in Satan's high school.
5. Both Chum and Colleague, aka Those Who Keep Me Sane, were out today.
6. My car, which was fixed just before I went away, had to go back to the shop today for the same thing, obviously not so much fixed.

You know, I don't grouch so much anymore; I swear it's the menopause or the estrogen or both. It's not just that I don't have mood swings like I used to, it's more like I don't have moods. This is actually a little too Vulcanish/creepy for me; even feeling grouchy/grumpy/bummed feels good because it's good to feel.

And did I mention that I had a Hershey's kiss and a Kit Kat bar today, and that I keep pulling my hands off the keyboard to dig into a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos? Man, I wish I had a nice Snapple iced tea. I wonder if K left any Hot Pockets in the freezer.

My update of The Weary Traveller is this close -- whatever that means in print -- to being posted, pictures and everything. Tonight, if I can stay awake long enough, or tomorrow. My real goal for tonight is to make it through Idol and a bit of Harry Potter.

Mmmm, chips.
