Phil Says Six More Weeks!
Phil's official forecast as read February 2nd, 2009 at sunrise at Gobbler's Knob:
Hear Ye Hear Ye
On Gobbler's Knob this glorious Groundhog Day, February 2nd, 2009
Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of all Prognosticators
Awoke to the call of President Bill Cooper
And greeted his handlers, Ben Hughes and John Griffiths
After casting a joyful eye towards thousands of his faithful followers,
Phil proclaimed that his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers were World Champions one more time
And a bright sky above me
Showed my shadow beside me.
So 6 more weeks of winter it will be.

Feels like it today!!! Cold outside!!! Low tonight 17 - brrrrrr...and I hibernated for twelve hours. Totally ridiculous waste of a day. Too cold to ride my chair to the store for groceries, so guess if a day must be wasted, this is ok. I was lost in a strange dreamland, warm and snuggly under the covers with Rebel curled around my feet. Too much is happening to keep up with it all. Guess my brain decided that a wasted day was better than another day of frustration. Back to life now. Scavenge for some food, do more laundry, etc., etc...CH died yesterday. She suffered a complete CSI about the same time that I did and has been in a nursing home since then. I have no right to feel sorry for myself when I look at what she has suffered through. And then there is JR. Where do I fit in this world. I'm running out of external "fixes". Will have to accept "what is" very soon. Maybe today was a respite from that hovering glimpse of reality awareness. Jamie is on her cruise - day 4. Hope she's having a great time and enjoying the warm!
