Hello all,

on break at work with a slow server, so this has gotta' be quick.

Had plans yesterday to run some important errands, but they got shot down when I developed a bad back, around noon-time. Did get downtown (to what Glens Falls laughably calls its high street) briefly, late afternoon, with the snow blowing all 'round me. Thought I'd treat myself to a coffee out, for a change--I get coffee at the office, and it's not bad, but really, there's not much chance to linger and enjoy it, as I'm busy ringing up a bunch of childish, snarky rude people every two minutes for four or five hours.

Anyway, there's this new posh coffee house at the triangle near the roundabout, downtown, and I'd thought I'd mosey in for a nice cup and a sit, while watching the cars and trucks and buses making dizzying circles outside the windows. Yeah. Well, that idea lasted about all of the time it took me to look at the prices. Blimey! I'd have to take out a blinking mortgage, to afford just a small cup, there! Yikes!

So, I went to Burger Woof (Burger King) and had a small Coke, instead, and looked at the fancy new electronic sign for the Civic Center, at the Bingo annoucements, Hockey tickets, concert, etc.

Money's tight for the next couple of weeks. Can manage cat food, but back to macaroni and cheese, bacon sandwiches and tinned soup, beans and such, for a while. I guess I can live with it. I got the notice that I get my cheque as of March 3rd--I'll be getting 2 cheques, really, so I can pay Feb and March rent all at once--at least, that's the plan. With the US government, one never knows...especially with idiot-boy Bush in charge of things.

Well, back to work. Have a good weekend all. Cheers. Nancy G.
