6:50pm: A sad day
I found out when I got home from work today that Michael Crichton died. Very sad. He was my favorite author.

R.I.P.

10:46am: Braintree and TNA!
I am off in just a little bit for my trip to Briantree with Abby. YAY for seeing Daniel! YAY for getting to go to TNA! I'm super excited. Then TNA show is on Friday. we have super great seats. Second row! We're heading down today, the show is tomorrow and tomorrow we head back to Albany.

It should be a good time. I read in Abby's LJ that there will be several wrestlers there that we really like, but it doesn't look like Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley are guarenteed. I'm hoping that they will be there anyway, but we will have to see.

I think that's about all from here. Dan and I think we found a place for our wedding, which means that soon we will set a definate date... once we actually reserve it and all.

I'm off... Take care all!


P.S. Geeze do I need some TNA icons...

11:27pm: Happy News!
Dan asked me to marry him the other night (5/25). I said yes. YAY! More news on moving out and such soon. But for now Daniel is up so off I go!

I nabbed this from Holly's myspace. I'm sunshine :).

Soothing and calm You are often held up by others as the ideal But too much of you, and they'll get burned You are best known for: your warmth Your dominant state: connecting

2:45pm: Randomness
I was thinking about some things today and I thought that I might post them here.

So here's a random list of thoughts...

1. I really enjoy listening to Justin Timberlake, but no longer enjoy NSYNC's music (though I used to).
2. I'm increadibly ammused by pro-wrestling, despite how horribly predictable it can be.
3. I'm super pissed that FOX decided to cancel Drive. I really liked that show.
4. I really enjoy Fallout Boy's music. But that is the only pop-punk band that I like, even a little.
5. I miss Sanjaya from American Idol. Despite the fact that he really only had an average voice.
6. I really do enjoy a bunch of animated shows, especially Nicktoons.
7. I also really enjoy a bunch of Anime shows.
8. I think that Family Guy is overrated, and relatively unfunny.
9. I think Futurama and The Simpsons are both very funny.
10. I find that most sitcoms don't amuse me. I find the humor in them to be overdone.
11. I find naps to be horribly underrated. There's really nothing better than a good 30 minute nap.
12. Many of the midcard wrestlers in the WWE are really underrated and should get better shots at the main card.
13. No matter how hard I try I can't figure out why Shawn Michaels can't have the WWE title belt.
14. I really don't like reality television, except celebreality, that's usually good for a laugh.

I think that's all for now. I hope all is well out there.

Take care.

1:09pm: More fun things found on the internet...
Also May is National Orgasm month! Hot Damn!


http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/228737/may_is_national_orgasm_month_.html


Apparently especialy if you are a girl. :)

12:59pm: Is a dream a wish that your heart makes?
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/221652/the_significance_of_dreaming.html

Interesting. I almost never remember my dreams. And when I do remember them, they're either really random or terrifying. Like dreaming about losing one of my family members or dreaming about bugs (especially wasps) which are both terrifying to me. But then there are really random dreams that I have like last night I dreamt about revisiting the computer shop about Freddy. Why on earth would I dream about that?

So, really are dreams indications of something bigger? I don't know. Nightmares I would tend to believe are. At least mine are. I usually only have those when I'm overstressed or have had a really tough week with insomnia and am thus overtired. Or when something happens like I when my mother was in the hospital for her gall bladder.

But the other ones just plain old don't make any sense to me. Although those are usually the ones I don't remember after a few minutes or hours at most. Maybe we do in fact dream to forget. And that is the reason for me forgetting nearly all of my dreams. (Except the reoccurring wasp one... God that freaks me out.)

Anyway.... just something I thought was interesting. I've always loved dream psychology anyway...

11:43am: I like you... Do you like me???
Well I tried to get Freddy fixed. Apparently he has a bad RAM port on his motherboard. But he should still work fine. Which he did when I got home... for about 10 minutes. Then he froze and now will not start up without freezing. I'm going to take him back to the computer place tomorrow and have them do the other diagnostic test on him. I'm just worried that his entire motherboard is failing... cause that would suck major.

In other computer news, Enid is still not running AIM or iTunes or quicktime... but at least she hasn't gotten any worse. Also Dad said that he would be willing to take her to Castle Computers (the local Mac shop back home) when I get home in a month to see if her issues can be solved. YAY!

In school related news, I have an 8-10 page paper due next friday. I'm rather sure that he moved the due date up on us so that he could give us more time for the final exam. Which is nice in the final exam time respect, but kind of obnoxious since he didn't post anything on the main board about moving the date. I swear that he is attempting to force people to fail.

In work news, apparently there is a brouhaha occurring over a student worker taking out a laptop that they shouldn't have taken due to people waiting for them in line or something. Though I guess there is some issue with stories not matching, so they have to have the higher-ups sort it out instead of Carol and Sharon (my bosses). I guess one of the other clerks (the people that work behind the desk that are not students) is the one that put the message on the board for the students to see. Sharon was pretty angry about it since technically it's her job to deal with the students, not Deborahs. And then to add to it apparently Carol and Deborah don't get along, like at all. I mean apparently they find it difficult to be civil with each other. Yeah that makes for a fantastic work environment. Though I guess it's really Deborah's fault because of a few times that Carol was actually physically threatened by her. Which actually made sense to me since Carol is at least a reasonable person and Deborah seems to have some sort of space logic about her.

Here at home there isn't a lot going on. We (Abby and I) went out to King Arthurs (a fantastic steak house in town) last night with Paul, Erica and Jay. That was a good time. But for some reason we ended up at the Brick which was not such a good time. I mean there are a lot of gross bars in town, but I really think that the Brick may be among the worst. Really, should your benches be sticky all the time?? I seriously thought that was a humidity thing the last time I was there. Anyway, that's the last time that I go anywhere that Paul has suggested to drink. Especially since Abby and I were under the impression that we were going to go to the Raven, which is also a college bar, but at least it isn't gross. Anyway, it was a good time last night.

Other than that not a lot going on around here. I'm hoping to get the last of the articles that I have to read done tonight or tomorrow so that I can write the paper on Tuesday (since I don't have to work). And there is a PPV tonight which promises to be a good time. At least we can make fun of it if it sucks right??

That's all from here. Hope all is well with everyone.

Take care.

8:09pm: Ugh.
So, just so that you all know. There is a reason why I haven't been on messenger or anything the past few days (and it isn't that I hate my friends). My desktop, Enid, has pretty much crashed. She no longer will run AIM, iTunes or Quicktime. But she will still run the internet (as long as there is no video or music) and word processors, so at least I can wait until I get back to Albany to get her looked at. Also, my laptop, Freddy, won't start up. He seems to have something wrong with his RAM chip... or at least that's what Dan says (and lets face it he knows more about these things than I do).

Anyway, that's what is going on here at the moment. Yeah, it sucks... major.... but at least the internet and word run so I can get my crap done for my class. That is for now... I just hope Enid can limp along until I finish.

Hope all is well with everyone else. Now it is back to the pit of suck that is my psychology articles.

9:32am: The More You Know...
The FDA defines a dietary supplement as "a product (other than tabacco) intended to supplement the diet." I wonder.... how many people really use tabacco to supplement their diets?

1:53pm: What do you do when you should be working?
I find interesting new things on the internet. Like this article about fast and cheap medical care for small things like cuts, bruises, ear infections, etc. called McClinics.

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/221223/mcclinics_youre_sick_were_quick_and.html

I'm not sure what to think about it. Plus side is it does provide cheap, easy help for things like infections and such that can become larger problems for people if not treated properly, in a timely manner, etc. And it stops these people from going to the emergency room, where it can become overcrowded due to small issues such as these.

On the other hand, this could be a hypocondriac's dream thus simply moving the problem of overcrowding to another venue. Also the cheapness and quickness may be an issue. I'm not sure that I would rather it be fast instead of done right when it comes to my health. And usually cheap and fast means cutting corners.

I don't really know, but the entire thing sure is interesting.

Edit:

Here's another article talking about them. Aparently consumers either love them or hate them and they can't treat special needs. Well that makes some amount of sense now doesn't it.

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/69106/in_store_medical_clinicsa_good_thing.html

11:39am: I always knew that superheros were real.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/04/23/britain.kryptonite.reut/index.html

I find it fascinating since they found it and didn't make it especially.

Also, it is a beautiful day outside despite being a little colder due to the thunderstorms. It seems to be a good day to exist. I think I may go for a walk or read a book in the park... or both. Okay maybe only one since I have about 14 psychology papers to read for my final paper, but it's just so nice outside.

We shall see. Hope everyone is doing well.

11:42pm: the beauty of static electricity
Okay, it may be before midnight but I am exhausted. I just wanted to post about the fantastic thunderstorm we had this evening. It was quite lovely, at least I think. Thunderstorms have always been one of those things that fascinates me. I love to watch them, especially as they roll in over the lake. That is one thing that I will miss about Oswego... the weather is always awesome looking over the lake.

Night guys.

6:32pm: Random thought...
I think that the new Starbursts campaign might be one of the most amusing things that I have ever seen. I never get tired of it (especially the one with Kiki the whale... sometimes I wish that I could do that when someone said something that I don't like). For some reason they amuse me to no end.

I really think the only other set of commercials I was this amused by were the old Starbucks ones, with the bands following people around.

That's all. Take care.

6:00pm: And it all comes crashing down...
I had a rather frustrating moment of clarity at work today. One of the girls that I work with was talking with me upstairs in the library and I realized that college students are getting significantly fake. Like really, really fake. No actual opinions of their own, and those that do have opinions are rather poorly informed if they are informed about the topic at all. It's like we live in a land of tools with a small portion of actual genuinely smart people. And really, it scares me to think of what the future might hold with these kids growing up into adulthood.

Now I know that this seems like a bit of an over-generalization. But if you went to a college library I have a bad feeling that you would see the same thing that I witness daily. It seems that more and more colleges kids are the maturity age of high school kids. So my question is, what on earth changed in the five years that I have been in college?? Are kids really taught that it's not okay to be informed about things now?? Are we encouraging our teenagers to not watch the news? Are we telling them not to take a stand for what they believe in? Are we even encouraging them to believe in things??

That's really what it seems to me. And it makes me almost want to cry for our future. I mean, how will these kids fair when there isn't anyone to create their opinions for them? What will they do when they get thrust into the real world where they actually have to think for themselves?? That's the image that really scares me... well it's one of the things. This girl also informed me that her parents made her break it off with her boyfriend because he wasn't a 'good catholic boy' (really.. where do we live in the 1930s??). Scary thing is she seemed to really like the guy last I knew, and she did as her mother wished despite being 20 years old (maybe it's just me but by the age of 20 it wasn't up to my mother who I dated...).

I don't know. Maybe it's an over-protection of our young in our society that's to blame. Of course that is based out of not being able to trust anyone anymore because the media facilitates such a ridiculous amount of attention onto the bad in our society. I mean, I really do think that crime is a terrible thing and that people should be informed about it... but really it gets kind of ridiculous in addition to desensitizing our society because things get over-exposed on the television. Plus there isn't anything in news reports to balance it out. Or there is very little to balance it out. I mean come on... most people out there really aren't that bad. It's a sensationalistic (wow is that a word??) point of view that runs these news stations that creates the very idea of the threat. (This isn't meant to take away from the victims of the crimes that are committed. Crime is a terrible thing, but really I think that most of the things reported are done in a way to scare people... after all most statistics are made up.)

I don't know. Maybe it's a little harsh of a point of view. But from where I sit I can see our society spinning a little out of control. And I don't like it. Not at all. (I know.. I know maybe I should move societies... if only I had the funds and ability to convince my family and significant other to.)

Anyway. Sorry about the rant... but that's how I feel about it all (and it is my journal after all.)

Now time for some reading. How are you all doing??

Take care.

9:45am: Babbling, more than a brook...
Well it is beautiful outside today, as it was yesterday for the first time since the never ending (well that was how it seemed) winter began. It's supposed to be super nice all weekend as well (or at least thats the rumor). Which means that I won't want to do my laundry, but tha's beside the point. At least we won't be freezing while doing it.

So, it's a very slow day here at work. Hence the babbling about the weather. I'm thinking about offering to go upstairs for my coworker at 10. Since here is making me antsy. We'll see, since upstairs is wicked boring. But I can at least listen to my iPod up there, with all the new music I just transferred onto it.

Anyway. There isn't really a lot going on today. Dan and his brother Ben went to Anime Boston starting today and will be there most of the weekend. It makes me really sad that I couldn't go. I really wanted to, but alas I work on Fridays and Mondays and thus couldn't get down there. Really a shame since it's a lot of fun. But I know that they will have a good time. And I'm working on being able to go to Pennsylvania for another convention. Which would be a good time as well.

Yesterday was an interesting. I apparently decided during the night that sleeping curled up into a ball was the best way to sleep. So I awoke with the stiffest neck that I have ever had. It was really bad. Then to add to it, the pain kept expanding down my shoulder and arm all day, so by the time I got home from errands and such yesterday afternoon my entire shoulder and left arm hurt in addition to my neck. Yeah needless to say I was not a particularly happy camper. So I slept for a little while and it started to feel a little better. It has now reduced itself to a small pain near the base of my neck. Still annoying but not nearly as bad as yesterday.

So that was my day yesterday. I'm glad that its better today since we're supposed to have people over tonight for drinks and such. That should be a good time. I guess that's really all from here. I know... exciting right?? Take care all.

11:11am: Just so that you know....
Gross, wet, sloppy snow storm in April= totally lame!

I walked to work in it this morning (which is kind of a hike when the weather is bad) and I was soaked when I got to work. Not to mention cold. Ugh! Why can't it just be spring already?!

I'm better now...

12:51pm: The Jelly Beans Taste Like Christmas.
So here I sit at the library updating yet again. Wow that is an awkward looking word. It has been an interesting day here at the library to say the least. This morning a coworker informed me that the jelly beans that my boss put out taste like "the scent that you get from a Christmas scented air freshner". I wish I was making this up. Then our system went down and I had to check out everything by hand. I don't know if you have ever been to Penfield library when the system is down, but the whole paper system is awkward and overly involved. So it takes a rediculus amount of time to check out things and we have no way of checking things back in when the system is down on top of that, or renewing things.

So yeah my morning was filled with frusturating situations and stupid coworkers that think the jelly beans that we have taste of Christmas. Never a dull moment I swear.

I spent the last week out in Boston with my boy. It was fantastic. His apartment is really nice. I'm really excited to be moving in with him in a couple of months. We went to the aquarium and Cheers on Sunday, but that was the only day we were really in Boston, he actually lives in Braintree. It was so nice to see him and be able to hang out with him all week though.

Anyway, not a whole lot else going on at the moment in my life. Just work and schoolwork and bumming around. I know, my life is so full of excitement you think that you will burst just reading about it. All that I ask is that you try hard not to burst. I mean think of the mess. Plus if you are reading this, I probably know you personally and I would rather that you not die.

Wow, on that note. I apologise for my randomness on this post, I god very little sleep last night due to alcohol consumption and am thusly in a fantastic, but slightly insane mood today. Well, that's my story anyway and I think that it is a fairly good one so I believe that I shall stick to it.

Take care all!

12:49pm: Two minutes for tripping, then we trip again.
I'm not sure that anything has really gone on since I last updated. I'm heading out to Dan's this evening, that is provided that we don't get stuck in Troy due to the noreaster that seems to be barreling down on the east coast at the moment. It's nice that winter decided to come back just in time for spring break. It's been beautiful up here this week, with highs in the 50s most of the week. It was so nice, so of course here we go with another snow storm.

Regardless, I am hoping to be in Boston all week next week. That will be nice. I'll get to see my Daniel and it will be lovely. We're planning on heading up to Troy again after he gets out of work on Friday so that we can visit a bit with my family. That should be nice. I look forward to seeing some of my relatives for a bit and such since I haven't been home since the brief period that I was there over the holidays.

Not a lot here though, just work and class. My group for my project doesn't seem to understand my concern with them wanting me to analyze questionnaires that they want to put out but I have no way of getting back. They want to put them out over break and me to have them analyzed by the wensday after. Mind you, this is an online class so we have no actual class meeting because people can take the class from anywhere. So, I really have no way of getting the information at all. Yet, the girl that I have been in contact with doesn't seem to see this as an issue, even though I can't analyze something that I don't have. Also my professor told me to check with two other students about my topic for my online lecture, even though we don't have e-mails for each other posted. Fantastic... I e-mailed him to find out how I should get in contact with them since they are not responding to the post that I made about the issue. I hope he e-maisl back about it soon so that I can start my lecture. But as of yet have not heard from him.

Other than that not a lot going on. It's a long day on Fridays and I have very little to do while I sit here at the library Circulation desk. So theres the update for ya! Take care.

2:05pm: Nobody here 'cept us chickens...
So, it's been a while since an update. Thing is my life is usually either filled with insanity or not worth updating on or some glorious combination of the two. Last friday the powers that be turned off the water on campus in the middle of the day. Everything was off anywhere east of the campus center (or ice palace), which, those of you who have been on Oswego's campus know, is a hell of a lot of biuldings including all but 5 of the residence halls, a bunch of the academic buildings and the union. So, there was no water, thus no plumbing, almost all day on campus last friday. Epic. Needless to say, they still held classes and had everything open, but the water was turned off around 10 AM and was still off when I left work at 2. Yeah, that's not cool.

Not a whole lot is new. Work is a combination of boring and frusturating. My class is the same. I submitted a topic for an online lecture and still have yet to hear back from the professor about it. If I get the topic that I want then it has to be done by April 5th or so. So, if I don't hear back from him soon I will have to e-mail him and make sure that the topic is okay so that I can start.

Yesterday was a TNA PPV. It was less than epic. Really most of the matches were kinda lame and gimicky. Except the last match, that one was really great. But the rest of it was unexciting.

It is officially the week before spring break and I am super happy about that. I can't wait to be able to go and visit Dan. We're going to go into Boston to the aquarium and eat at Cheers. And we're going to visit with my mother the last weekend of break, which should be a good time. I'm hoping that we're going to be able to see my granndmother and some other relatives while I'm home for the couple of days. And if all goes well I should be able to have lunch or supper with at least Grandma one night.

Other than that not a lot going on. It's nice and warm and sunny here today, which is a nice change from the grey that Oswego has for most of the year. Hopefully it will stay this warm for a while, though I heard a rumor about 25 degree weather in the middle of the week. But maybe it's just a rumor.

Anyway, that's all from here. Take care. And if you didn't know, now you know.

8:50am: And then it was all clear... (sorry its a long one)
So I realized yesterday, when I awoke from a glorious nap, that there is nothing wrong with what I am doing with my life at the moment. I'm happy, healthy and trying to get a real life started in a few months. Nothing wrong with that at all. I have friends and family and a guy who all love me, and if they don't like what I am doing, they can get over it. I have to grow up and be my own person sometime, so trying to get to that point is what I am doing. So, I've decided to stop worrying about what other people expect of me and to do what I feel will make me happy. After all, there is no way to please everyone, so pleasing myself is where I stand.

That being said, I have decided to spend spring break in Boston with Daniel. This is the last spring break that I may ever have (since I'm not planning on more school right away.... if I even go on for a masters degree), so I figure that I should do something that I want to do. And I really miss him and want to see him. So, Boston will be where I will be for the week off in mid March. I'm really super excited about it. And since he has to work during the days that week, I figure that I can explore the area that he lives in a little and see what is what as far as attempting to get employed and such in the near future.

I need to get my resume looked at by the people in career services. That should be easy enough to do, it's just finding time in their walk in hours to actually do it. See, they don't actually take appointments for it, it's all done by walk in... so I have to work my schedule out to get there durring those hours which appear to change every day. Perhaps Tuesday will work well, even if it means an extra trip to campus.

My iPod has frozen yet again. I really need to take her to the shop and get her looked at. She keeps doing this thing where she believes that she has no more battery power when she actually has at least half of a battery. She then decides that she can not function for about 1 to 2 hours on average. That's a bit annoying. So... at some point to the Apple Store she must go. I have a feeling that her battery may be freezing, which seems like a bad thing and that it may be a cause for her to eventually explode. I am right in the assumption that Li batteries are in fact liquid in the core... right??

Lets see... not much else going on, work, class, hoping that my roomie won't go insane due to her thesis (things are looking up on that front... YAY for Abigail!), all in all life is pretty good.

Oh, and icing on the cake... today is meltdown Thursday!! And if you didn't know... now you know.

8:10am: So much time on my hands... yet it seems so little
Hey all. Just a little update here. I'm doing okay despite my cold being blown up into full force (or at least I hope this is full). None the less, I am here at work posting an update on my livejournal, as I'm really not supposed to do (at least I don't think). Not a whole lot going on around here. Dan was up for the weekend, which was nice. We went out to dinner and saw Ghost Rider. Dinner was nice, despite having a waiter who doesn't know the difference between Tuna and Salmon. Ghost rider was entertaining, which here means it was good for a laugh because it was so terrible. I thought that it wsa terrible because I didn't know the story, like at all... but apparently the story itself is that bad. Anyway, it was great to see Dan again. I really miss him being around now that he is in Boston. But I've begun plans to stay with him over Spring Break. Which should be fun. While I'm there I can look around for a place of employment when I move there after my lease is up here.

Not a whole lot else going on around here. Abby's boy was up from Sunday through Thursday morning, which was nice as well. I like Billy. It's really a shame that he works so far away.

Anyway that is about it from here. Take care.

11:59am: It's official. The apocolypse is coming.
Yesterday the Walmart in Central Square was closed due to the weather. Now if that isn't a sign of the apocolypse, I don't know what is. No telling if it is open today.

I am bored at work again, although, I did get a break from sitting desk for a little while, thanks to my coworker Kelly who let me go up to stacks so that I didn't fall asleep at the desk. Thank God for small favors. Now if only we could get a little less snow and more sun. That would be aces.

After we got the lake effect storm of a century, that droped over 70 inches of snow on Oswego, we also got the Noreaster that came through and gathered another foot of snow or so. I'm not sure on grand total as of yet, because there is another lake effect storm that came through last night and now seems to be coming back.

It's wicked annoying. I just hope that it stops in tiem for my boyfriend to be able to come up. I want to see him, esspecially since if he doesn't come up this weekend I probably won't see him until Spring break, and that's only if I can gather enough money for a bus ticket to Boston. Needless to say, I am not a big fan of this whole long distance relationship thing. I would rather be in the same city as him.

Lets see, what else... I think I am getting sick. I fell asleep during RAW last night, which is odd for me. Esspecially since it was over at 10 last night instead of 11 like it usually is. But I never go to sleep before 12 or 1 in the morning. Plus my body hurts. That's never a good sign. Although it's also usually on Mondays, but there was a dog show or something on that channel this monday... yes folks, a dog show. But it meant that we didn't watch the normal program of Thursdays, TNA. So that will be tonight. YAY something to look forward to if Dan can't make it tonight!

Also my boss is super nice and said that I could move my early hours on Monday to after my desk hours at 11 so that I could hang out with Dan before that. YAY!

So all in all, other than the weather pretty much sucking majorly and probably coming down with an unknown illness, life is okay. I just don't want to be snowed in.... again. I really think that out of the first 16 days of February, I have been snowed in on 10 of them. Not fun. I mean I love Abby, but I like to be around other people sometimes as well, since I am a social being (as most humans are).

So that is about all from here. Take care.

12:29pm: Epic... just epic
I know that it has been a long while,, but classes starting as well as work have prevented me from updating any actual sort of update.

The last week here has been utterly rediculus here as far as weather goes however. Oswego has been all over the news and weather channel due to the worst snowstorm in a century. That's right folks, lovely Lake Ontario has managed to create a lake effect snow storm that has been laying down feet of snow at a time for the past week up here. Yes, the first day and night alone it dropped close to 4 feet of snow. Now, I happen to be of the opinion that there should NEVER be 4 feet of snow dropping in less than 24 hours EVER! But to add to it the storm keeps on leaving and then coming back and leaving again, and then coming back. Needless to say, at this point we have over 6 feet of snow on the ground, and before this storm we had mere inches.

I have heard that news reports are saying that 20 people have died due to this storm in particular. At least my friends, siblings and I are all safe, warm and fed. But it is pretty bad up here. Sidewalks are mostly impassable (yeah sorry NOTHING can make me attempt to walk through a walk that has not been cleared of over 4 feet of snow... NOTHING! Okay, maybe to save a small child or a friend or something.... maybe) and roads are not much better. So we are pretty house bound and have been all week and, as if this wasn't enough, apparently the storm is predicted to come back up this weekend.

So, that's been this past week. School has been cancled every day except today and wednsday. I haven't been in to work all week (except today) and the snow storm is still not done. Needless to say I, nothing anyone can do can make me stay in Oswego after this semester at this point.

But on the bright side, everyone that I know up here seem to be fine. With the exception of having a bit of cabin fever we are all doing well. So, with that I shall be going. Take care.
