Getting ready...

Bleh.

It's 9 a.m. Just a bit after, actually. In a short while, it will be time for me to clock in for work. I really don't want to. I want to bundle up and head out to the river for a while instead. I bet that everything frosted over will make the watery location look even more magical than it does in the summer.

Or, I could sit and watch The Tudors all day long and continue to give my armchair psychiatric diagnosis' to each of the characters. Because, you know, it really makes a difference now, 500 years after the fact.

I've got an entire library that I could get started on reading, or I could sit back and take a day to pretend to write my own library. Oh, the possibilities really are endless.

But, I have work to do. And I am grateful because whether I'm fond of the work or not doesn't matter. The fact is, too many people don't have any at all. They'll wake up today and wish they had something other than television or books for the day. I remember many years ago when I was that person struggling to surive and raise two children on no income at all.

I remember those days very well so even though I may not particularly want to do any work today, I'm certainly not going to take it for granted. Whether I like the work or not, (and many times I don't) I am thankful that it is there.

Time to face the day and get this party started!
