Here I am in  one of my favorite places in the whole world: my massage therapist’s room.  Aaahhh…..

(and yes, I really did take this with the timer setting on my camera. I set the camera on a table, set the timer, pressed the shutter,  and hopped under the blanket as quick as I could.)

We have a new snake at work–he doesn’t have a name yet, I’ve just been calling him Mister NewSnake. Anyway, I took him out today for a little getting-to-know-you time, and I noticed this small mark on his skin. I don’t think it’s anything major; in fact, it appears that he lost a scale at that spot, but I still want to have it looked at.

I actually photographed it so I could send it to my snake-expert friends, and then decided it made a perfectly good picture of the day.

Those are my legs and feet. And while yes, my legs are quite hairy, that’s not all hair you see. Those are accupuncture needles.

I started getting accupuncture to help a chronic pain in my shoulder. I was skeptical, but desperate. And while it only kind of helped the shoulder, it has done wonders for stress, anxiety and energy levels, so I keep it up.

I’m not sure exactly what was going on here. This guy walked over to this sign, shook it a bit, kicked the snow away from the bottom, and then shook the sign some more. He repeated this pattern several times. Odd.

Remember just two days ago?  Seems like ages ago…
We got walloped with a storm over the past couple of days. It had pretty much cleared out by noontime, so out we went….

hey look, here comes the snow. I suppose one of the only nice things about it is that you can see animal tracks easily, including these little birdie footprints on our porch steps.

hey look! it’s the yard! there’s grass! the snow has finally melted and we can see the yard.

Does this ever happen to you? You’re feeling a bit peckish so you go to the fridge. What to have? some yogurt, perhaps? maybe a pear? a scrambled egg? the dead rat you put in there yesterday?

didn’t think so. no one I know has these things happen to them.

I just love that this thing is called a “manlift.” What a great word. MANLIFT.

the fact that its name is “Miss Linda” just makes it funnier.

I had an appointment in a small office building today, the kind that houses many accountants, therapists, independent lawyers, that sort of thing. And in the lobby is this little arrangement:

I think it’s kind of odd. I mean, who’s going to play a game of checkers, right in the lobby? Competing accountants on their lunch break? A couple on their way to therapy? I just don’t know…
