Global Warming?

Heh. Global warming my ass. Al Gore can come up here to NJ and freeze his ass off in the 2F temperatures up here. Bah.

I spoke with my parents yesterday. They live in south Florida and were complaining that it got down to 50F. I loved telling them that it was a whopping 8F here. My mom didn't want me to talk about it because it was making her cold.

Honestly, the cold doesn't bother me. The only thing that did was my windshield washer fluid stayed frozen all day. Not good considering all the salt and the other crap that is now all over the windshield. Makes driving interesting.

At least this is good for the ski resort next door. It is rather creepy watching the snow makers going under the sodium lights. With the orange glow it looks like the mountain is on fire and the blowing snow looks like smoke. Personally, I love hearing the snow makers going. It's a great white noise in the background and it helps me sleep. I get a little sad at the end of the season because it gets so quiet.

I wish you could ship some of your cold weather here, and we could send you some of our warmth. Stay warm.

Been a Bit Sick

I know in my last post I said I was going to continue on with my story the next day.  Then, life happened. Ever since last winter, I have had fatigue issues.  I thought they were tied in to my depression as that tends to be the main way it expresses itself.  Also, I had been under a shit ton of stress between taking care of my father-in-law's needs and my own.  When I had the breakdown in late February/early March, it reinforced that idea. Fast forward to this summer.  I developed a new thing: my hands fell asleep way too easily.  It is mainly my left hand with the pinkie and ring fingers.  However, the rest of my hand gets it too and so does my right hand.  I saw my ortho thinking that it was the damn herniated discs in my neck giving me issues again.  He did not think so.  He was positive it was nerve issues in my arms from spending too much time at my desk, keeping my arms bent.  He gave me some exercises and sent me on my wa...

Not a Morning Person

I would never call myself a "morning person."  Don't get me wrong.  I tend to function the best in the morning in that I am much more productive at that time of day.  However, I think that is because by the end of the day I am so damn tired regardless of what I do. Years ago when I first started teaching, I was always given 8am classes.  Why?  Because no full-timer in their right mind is willing to teach that early.  The best and brightest students go for the post-9:30am classes.  This means, the 8am classes are the last to fill and the students who do fill it are the least motivated ones out there.  Namely, they were too lazy to register in advance which means they got stuck with the only class still open: the 8am one.  Even when I was a student I avoided that time slot like the plague.  However, my Russian classes were only held at that time and it was a three day a week class.  8am on a Friday is just pure evil.  An 8am Ru...
