Ronin doesn’t do dishes, but he does toes. Woo-hoo!
I think we’ll keep him.

I am one of those Native Californians who reinforce the notion that Californians are wimps where weather is concerned. To all of you who also live here and are not wimps, I am sorry for my frailty. It is one of the reasons that I never refused to move from here. It’s comfortable and that’s what I need right now.

The most comfortable spot for me this morning is in my bed. Unfortunately, I may have to get up for my coffee and cough drops. When I do get up, I’ll see the destruction that has been done to my beautiful yard. My back fence is leaning into the neighbor’s yard, and the other fence is lying on the ground beside the garbage cans. Oh bother.

Our house is ice cold from the loss of power during the night. The power was out for most of yesterday, recovered in time for a few hours of evening entertainment (including Friday Night Lights), and then went out sometime in the night. My house alarm alerted me of low battery in the midst of it. Obviously, we have power and internet once more, but I wonder how long it will last.

I am tired, and cold, and sick….and I doubt that I will be doing that 12-14 mile run that I had planned. Call me a wimp, if you will. I won’t deny it.
