Slow start

Am I ever off to a slow start today. I stayed up too late at Ivana's (and I can't imagine how she manages since the kids wake her up early) and consequently slept in too late. I wasted the entire morning rolling over, looking at the clock, thinking "Oh, crap, it's late. I should get up!" and subseqently falling back to sleep. I wouldn't feel half so guilty about sleeping away an entire Saturday morning if it wasn't for the knowledge that Ivana could not do the same. Now it is suddenly mid-afternoon and I'm hosed for getting everthing done today that I had planned on.

At least the weather is good. Bright sunshine and too much heat just bakes the life right out of me. Give me grey skies, a stiff, cold wind and temperatures in the low teens (that's be "50's" for my American friends still on Farenheit) any old day. Last night was perfect. No rain, the wind was strong, the sky was partially overcast so bright winter stars were peeking though the clouds... tonight looks like it is shaping up similarly. There is a small craft warning in effect, the predicted low is 8 °C (46 °F) and the POP is only 40%. I just may walk home from the club tonight.
