Almost Over

We often have some fairly nice days in February in Indiana, but this month has had precious few of those.

I'll be glad to see March.

Dentist

I went to the dentist today and had four tiny cavities filled.  He's been watching them for years and finally decided to fix them.

Everything went well.

Urination Issue

I'm still having some days when I don't urinate for many hours.

I don't think it's a problem, but something I'll have to get used to.  I wish I could go when I decided to go.

Scheduling

I have a dental appointment and a medical appointment coming up later this week.

Cockamamie scheduling, given the weather we have and the weather we're predicted to have.

Poweer Blip.

I lost power for a second or two in my kitchen, dining area, and living room last night, but not in my office or bedroom.

I just hope I don't lose power for any length of time in this cold.

COZI-TV

I accidentally found a new television channel this morning that runs old shows, including old westerns.  It seems to be connected somehow to WTHR.

So, I'll be exploring it further.

Today Is The Day

Baseball spring training opens today in Arizona and Florida for pitchers and catchers.

So, the weather notwithstanding, winter is coming to an end.  The Boys of Summer are on their way back.

It's A Beagle

A beagle took the top prize at the Westminster Dog Show this year.

I especially love the hounds, so I was happy the little gal won.

Westminster

I watched the Westminster Dog Show last night, as I do each year.  I love seeing all the breeds.

The show ends tonight, and I'll be watching.

Long February

Forecasters are now saying the weather will remain really cold for the rest of the month.

It's going to be a long February.

Cold

It's really cold today, and more cold and storms are on the way.

We're at the point, however, when we can reasonably hope this might be the last big event of winter.

New Aide

I had a replacement aide this morning.  She was good, but things went very slowly.

If she keeps coming back, hopefully things will speed up.

Mom

Today would have been Mom's 81st birthday.  Her family and friends miss her terribly.

It's a difficult day for us.

Fourteen Hours

Yesterday I didn't urinate for fourteen hours.

The discomfort never became real pain, but I want to reach the point where I can go when I want to, not just when I really need to.

Getting Closer

We had a nice, mild weekend here, and pitchers and catchers report to major league spring training camps next week.

Winter is not over, but we're getting there.

NCAA Hoops

Indiana had no teams in the NCAA men's basketball tournament last year, but that should change this year.

Notre Dame should be a lock, and Butler probably is, too.  IU  and Purdue both have good shots, as well.

Computer Problem

I had a hard time getting my computer to work today.  My aide Dennise and I kept fiddling with it till we got it to work.

I hate it when you have to try to outsmart a machine.

Looking For An Agent

I've started a new round of looking for a literary agent to represent my novels.  I finally decided the one I had wasn't working out.

Hopefully, something will happen soon.

Baseball

The bad news is that another snowstorm seems to be on the way.  The good news is that major league baseball spring training camps open in a couple weeks, which means winter is on the way out.

I've always been intrigued by this time of year.  In Indiana, we probably still have hard winter ahead, but the promise of spring is also growing steadily/

Patriots Win

The Patriots won a terrific Super Bowl last night after Seattle blew a critical play call.

I'd say this probably ends the Seahawks' run.
