~ the state of my office ~

Here sits Toolbelt at my overcrowded desk, with its old monitor and its new iMac that sits here taunting me because we haven't been able to move all my work files over to it, yet. We're waiting on some certain cable.

It's amazing I can get any work done in the room at all, its cluttered feng shui being what it is. We are still living around the overflow from the spring flooding of our basement. I can tidy up, but have no other place to put the stuff.

It looks like another beautiful day out there. The sky's blue, the deep snow is frostily white and sparkling, and yet the temperature hovers around freezing. Glorious day for a walk in the country. I slept late again today, and am still sitting here in my housecoat at 12:40 p.m. Mom's housecoat, I mean. It's the warmest thing going.

Remembrance Day

Yesterday a man called into the Saskatchewan CBC radio program, Blue Sky, and wept while describing some photographs he'd seen, taken in the time of the Second World War. One picture was of a Nazi soldier holding up his bayonet, laughing, with an infant speared on it.

I cried, too.

Blue Sky is the 12-to-2 program I listen to as I sit here at my desk on weekdays, working up a storm.
