Duller than a cotton ball

I don't wish to complain about it being dull around here but I did take three short naps today. Three. If there is an allotment of daily naps to be had in the world then blame me if your cranky two-year-old wouldn't lay down to sleep this afternoon.

I'd gotten all set in my mind to walk down to the river this afternoon to see the ice floes. It's warmed up considerably compared to the last two days and this morning the air was clear and dry and the sky a sunny blue. By afternoon clouds had rolled in and by the time B's physiotherapist left at 3pm I was in no state to be strolling down the street anywhere. Not only had it become overcast and quite a bit colder, I was stricken by a stomach ailment that left me doubled over with cramps. It could be a bug but my money is on my recent drive to increase my fiber intake. In an effort to eat a bit better and to keep my blood sugar more steady I upped my intake a good 50% over the last four days and I believe my colon thinks it's a stick-up.

On to other day fillers:

~ Dear Siemens/Fujitsu, Fujitsu/Siemens, whatever-the-hell-order-your-name-is,

I can get over the fact that I've had to have two major hardware replacements within the warranty period and I will say I was happy with your repair service but it's important for you to know that your recovery software blows. Blows big ones. Blows so much that as I currently shop for a new computer because your product is making me so angry that I won't even remotely consider buying another one of your products.

So there.

~ My friend, Tiffany, just asked me to knit a blanket for her two year old boy. I couldn't be more touched about that.

~ I confess. I watch Deutschland sucht den Superstar (the German version of American/Pop Idol). I've watched the other two seasons too. I start out saying I'll only watch the beginning shows with all the losers but then get all caught up in it and then have my favorites and the ones I think are losers. I will, however, deny that I've actually phoned in for my favorite.

~ Strawberry Twizzlers. I miss you.

Time for me to knit.
