It varies...

the weather. It's Michigan, so it varies.

And maybe global warming has something to do with it.

Yesterday, it was near 50 degrees F. Last night, temperatures dropped to the single digits. 40 degree drop in just a few hours time.

So naturally, there are gusting winds. Some have been clocked up to 60 miles an hour.

It is killing cold. The wind is roaring like an angry freight train. In just the short walk from car to store, my face began to ache.

Warmer tomorrow. In the 30s.

It varies.

The play went well enough. It was very well received by parents and students.

The refrigerator was emptied, unplugged, washed, vacuumed and given a day of rest. When I plugged it in it worked.

I bought a pedometer and I am currently being frustrated because my Personal Electro-Magnetic Force Field apparently is at work on it so I cannot get an accurate reading.

I am on to my dissertation writing.

Searching for a theater home for the spring show... again.

Thanks for the theater magic, Universe. It came through!

theater magic needed... and all will be well

I am working like a madwoman on my dissertation project/play of Midsummer Night's Dream with 7th and 8th graders that opens THIS FRIDAY and is plagued by more problems than Waiting for Guffman... SEND LOVE and PRAYERS that Theater Magic will do its work and all will be well

(After Saturday I may somewhat return to the world of the living)

 

When luck turns cold

A. I live in Michigan.

B. It is January.

C. My refrigerator stopped working.

A + B should mean that C should not result, at least, in the spoilage of the entire contents of the refrigerator.

However:

D. Coinciding precisely with the breakdown of my refrigerator is a FREAKISHLY WARM SPELL. It was in the mid-sixties today.

My garage is NOT a walk-in cooler, not in January 2008, even though it HAS functioned as a walk-in cooler every other January that I have lived here.

Such is my luck.
