Ah, a new week has begun.  It can only go downhill from here.
My day didn't really start until afternoon because morning is when I play sleep catch up.  I tried without success to go to sleep last night but when I finally blanked out it was probably after three. 
I was on mybloggers last night reading blogs and commenting, but just didn't feel like writing.  Besides, my post would have had to come after the BS artist and I really don't like to be associated with the guy.  Ironically, he gripes because I write about him and he doesn't want me to, but he exercises his complete freedom of speech to spew crap about his two ex wives.  And rather often.
So I got daughter off to school this morning and went back to bed.  My horsey friend called to see if I was feeling any better today but I told her I wasn't sure yet.  I didn't get up until almost one and it seems that the coffee is missing most of the octane.  Perhaps it will kick in shortly...lol.
R had closed the bedroom door this morning and it was nice and toasty in there while I slept.  The furnace is directly below our bedroom so that room is always warm.  Then I came out to the living room and it was nearly cold enough to hang meat in.  Not really.
The apartment in the house that we live in isn't exactly well insulated, so when it is cold and/or windy, the apartment can get rather chilly.  When it is windy you can feel the breeze blow in through the registers along the west wall.  Today is no exception, as the wind is gusting strongly from the west.  Needless to say, I turned the heat way up after I got up.
I was a little disappointed that the Lucky Charms were gone when I went to make myself a bowl of cereal, but this will probably be the least bit of disappointment that I experience this week.  I'm certain grander and more serious ones wait in the wings.
I go to court tomorrow for the matter between my landlord and I.  I am hoping to get an adjournment for another week as I was unable to attend a seminar at Legal Aid regarding such matters last Thursday, as that was the day I was served.  I also hope to get a little bit more time to resolve this matter (or move on, as the case will probably be) because my landlord lied to the notary public and claimed that he personally served me with a seven day notice on November 22cd and I can swear on a Bible that he didn't.  The only seven day notice the landlord ever personally served me was in June of this year, and I have a copy of that in my possession.
My little sister (yeah, the one that left a message for me in October telling me what sort of useless human being she thought me to be, and has never apologized since) called this morning and left a message regarding my dad.  My first thought was the worst, before I listened to it.  She was just updating me as she didn't know who I had spoken to or when.  My mother called me last night again and told me how my dad was.  She may have forgotten to tell my little sister.  Or maybe my upright churchy smooching ass little sister thought she was doing a good deed by calling me.  I could care less if I ever hear from her again.
DON'T tell me you love me and then proceed to rip me to shreds with your words.  I'm not stupid.  I graduated with honors from a well known university and I may come off as if though I don't always know, but I do, at least most of the time.
My dad is doing okay, I guess.  Under the circumstances.  His heart rate is more stable and his blood pressure is more normal but he is still weak and wants badly to go home.  Even though he has only eaten in the last 48 hours at the most the doctors want him to be able to move his bowels.  I hope he can and he can go home soon.  You don't get much rest in the damn hospital.
I have plenty to do yet I sit here blogging.  I have already had one friend calling in tears because her most beloved dog is not well and she fears he may have to be put down.  For those of you that don't know, dogs truly are man's best friend.  And woman's too.  They don't treat you like crap, call you names, or try to hurt your feelings.  They are 100% loyal and put nothing before you, including food and water.  Well, sometimes, but not for long.  You can't say that for humans.  A dog will comfort you when you are down, and play with you when you want some frivolity.  They will give you unconditional love and never withhold their kisses.  I pray to God that my friend's dog can be healed.
I called my other friend (yes, I have more than two friends) but she must be busy as she didn't answer.  It is Monday, and like her, I should be so busy.  But writing is so much more fun.
It is cold, gray, and snowing.  I really should go to the store later.  Brr.  I am going to end this post as my coffee has almost come to an end too. 
Hey, I woke up today.  I am alive.  If you are reading this, then so are you.  We did accomplish one thing today.
