I was only one woman alone, and had no power to move to action full-fed, sleek- coated, ease-loving, pleasure-seeking, well-paid, and well-placed countrymen in this war- trampled, dead, old land, each one afraid that he should be called upon to do something.
Clara Barton

That was a Good Sleeping at Night Time.
Good Morning & Happy Wednesday.
Went to bed about 21.30 or so, I don’t actually know what time it was. There is and WILL BE no visible clocks in my room. I might have to put it in a dresser drawer or somehing starting the 28th.
Today is Wednesday 12/25/V3.4 & it is a 7 min newsday.
I watched about 7 min of Anne Marie on CBS News this morning. It is also the last Wednesday I’ll work in 2013. That’ll be a theme for the rest of the year, just replace Wednesday with the appropriate day.
I am glad it didn’t snow last night, I’ve got to ride into work and not having the streets covered in snow makes it easy.
When I get home I will be able to finish packing the non-perishables. I took a vacation day yesterday, from that jazz.
The word of the day is advent which is a coming into place, view, or being; arrival.
Excited to see who comes to work today, will be disappointed if some particular people are there. It was slow yesterday.
Make it a Great Day & Smile on someone.
*editor’s note* if you see there are only a few C words & there isn’t one that is 9 letters.
NO KMTV Action 3 News today.
Watching 1 to 30 mins of that show is part of my routine.
Won’t you please come back to work?
Great or Good Afternoon, I can’t decide how good it was.
Work was fine. I did some more training and took some calls. Slow days at work, but still getting it done.
Just have to work 4 days this week, took vacation on Saturday for the big move.
Today is Tuesday 12/24/V3.4 & it is a pear kinda day. I had a pear at lunch, but if you follow me on twitter an fourquare you would know this.
I’m doing laundry as part of the move, I’m tired of this packing stuff. So I think that will be the packing for the night, I’m almost done. I have pots and pans to pack, my plates and pie pan. A few more food items, the fridge also needs to be packed. But you can’t do that before you leave.
The word of the day is jigger which is any of various mechanical devices, many of which have a jerky or jolting motion.
Make it a great time.
You know, you left without saying good-bye. That’s not like you, not that I have the slightest idea what you’re like.

A man’s real and deep feelings are surely those which he acts upon when challenged, not those which, mellow-eyed and soft-voiced, he spouts in easy times.
