2010 in the First Lines of Blogger Posts

About a week ago I got an e-mail from my mom.

March has arrived and so has my successor at the Job.

In about fifteen minutes, I'll be leaving the job and entering the weekend.

The weekend passed in a blur, although I have no idea why because I spent most of the time dinking around on my laptop trying to write something.

So, I'm back.

As I sat here, today, contemplating what to write, my stomach began to gurgle and groan like a West Virginia still.

Things are picking up.

God, it's been an age since I actually updated this thing.

I got an early start this morning.

So, October has blown through and now we find ourselves shivering in November.

Gah, it's been an age since I updated this thing.

Gah, it's been an age since I updated this thing.
Okay, first things first: December got off to a rocky start. I caught a flu bug going around up here that evolved into a mild case of bronchitis that I'm just getting over.
Then, no sooner is that taken care of, than I drop my dentures on the counter and wind up losing one of the front teeth. Joy. That just happened, so off I went to the dentist yesterday to get them repaired. I pick them up today and, God willing, this will be the last snafu I encounter this month.
Otherwise, I'm doing okay. It's been pretty damn cold up here the last few weeks, with highs in the low teens and overnight lows in the single digits. We haven't hit the subzero temperatures yet, and I'm hoping that we don't. Well, not for a while.
Next week is the Winter Solstice, thank God, and after that we start gaining light back. The dark has been really bad this year, maybe because I'm home a lot more and it's getting to me. I dunno.
Not much else to report on. I'm lowering the price on the condo this January and hoping that gets me a buyer.
Still banging away on the writing. The mystery is pretty much kaput at this point, but some of the other stuff is coming along nicely.
I'll try to update again before New Year's Eve.
Still alive and feeling chilly. - G.
