pro's CI - 7:35pm (staring at a huge pile of dishes)
I've got a lot of dishes to wash and I'm not feeling well today and don't feel like it. I don't suppose any of you would like to come over and wash them for me? :P

update on the furnace
By the way, after multiple heat outages this winter, my landlord has decided to kill us all with excess heat. It's 80 degress in here with one of the radiators off. Never in all the years I've lived here has there been too much heat! There's something wrong with the second radiator and I can't turn it off completely so I have a window open, which my heat-loving plants do not appreciate.

too hot!
Yuck! That would drive me bonkers! Or just plain paralyze me. I operate best at 68 degrees F.
too hot?!
80 degrees is just right for me! It's 70 in my house right now - I wearing a sweater and I'm still cold!

Bad weather and "evoking" Spring
I'm not sure where you are Falcon, but we get the same weather at the same time. This winter is screwing up my plans. At least the sunshine lasts alot longer now. I'm digging out some spring clothing too. It can't hurt.
Evoking spring
Hi lark,
I'm in the northeastern U.S. Like you, I'm really glad the days are getting longer! Around this time of year I start getting a craving for bright colors. I went to a quilt exhibition a couple of weeks ago, mostly quilts by African American artists, with lots of African themes of sun and rich colors. It was just enough to keep me going for a while! Now I'm hauling out all the brightest clothes I can find. Spring will be here soon and we're gonna make it!

Focus on where you succeeded, okay? If you feel good about yourself, you'll be able to work better. I know for me, the madder I am at myself, the less I do.
What's "TAMO bug"?
