I'm still here; just slow!

I don't know if it's the winter blues or what, but I am so tired and
spacey these days, it's hard to keep up with much of anything right now.

It looks like the landlord has got the building sold, as long as the
loan is approved. Sigh. I get the feeling this one is not such an
understanding guy. We'll see.

DH and I are trying counseling again next week. Not expecting much, though.

A friend of mine lost his mother Jan. 31, and then his brother-in-law a
couple of days later. BIL was getting ready to go to MIL's funeral, and
had a heart attack. Very, very sad.

Cats are all hanging in there. Except for occasional puking and
occasionally forgetting to make sure their butts are solidly in the
litterbox, they seem to be doing fine.

I got one of those disk things that you microwave and put in your cats'
bedding that keeps them warm. I hoped Cosmo and Internet would use it,
as they are the oldest and creakiest. But, of course, youngster Jack
decided this was *his* spot. Sigh. What can I do?

We got hit here in Ohio with a lot of what Bridget got in Indiana. Not
as much snow, but we had freezing rain on top of snow, followed by more
snow. Darn near everything was cancelled for a few days, and it's still
difficult for people to get their cars out and move about. I really
hate winter :-(

I am dating a friend who is taking me out to nice restaurants, which I
never get to go to. We went to the Bar of Modern Art (yep, that's what
it's called!) for Valentine's Day, and he got me roses and champagne.
It was a wonderful meal! And I'd never had actual French champagne before.

If I missed anybody's needs for purrs or a hug, I am truly sorry; I am
sending a gentle blanket of comforting purrs to all who need them.

Glad to hear that!

Yay!!! Sounds like a lot of fun! I'm very happy to hear you have someone
nice who is giving you what you deserve.

So nice to hear you're dating, and that the cats are doing alright.
Though winter only just started here, I'm already tired of it and want
the white stuff to go away. Better just cuddle up with a cat or two
under a blankie inside.

I did a double take on this one, winter just starting, Finland? But then we
had a warm green Christmas too, although it's been cold and snowy for a few
weeks now.

It was so strange, we had a green Xmas, too, and a green January. But
now winter is here with a vengeance. It's not like our climate is
warming up, but the seasons have shifted. We used to get autumny weather
in September, but last Sept. was very warm and summery. Winter, OTOH,
lasted well into April last year.

There is a popular tradition (which I don't think that many people
seriously believe in) that if a groundhog sees its shadow on February
2nd, then there will be six more weeks of winter. If the day is
overcast enough that there isn't a visible shadow, this is supposed to
predict an early spring. The best-known such groundhog is in
Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. This year, the prediction was for an
early spring. Within a few days, a cold snap settled in across most
of the eastern two-thirds of the USA, and hasn't let up since, other
than a couple of single-day warm spells. Some parts of western New
York state, known for "lake-effect" snowstorms (they are downwind of
the Great Lakes), have received over 12 feet of snow just within the
last two weeks.
