Non qui parum habet, sed qui plus cupit, pauper est. *

Please ignore the crankiness of my last entry - I went down to the garage and chopped a couple buckets of firewood and kindling, and now I feel better. Sweaty and single, but better ^_^

Now I am lounging on the couch, with a blazing fire roaring away in the fireplace and cold Growers Cider on the coffee-table. I'm just about to watch my favourite Jane Austen movie, Persuasion, and perhaps later I will make myself fried shrimp appetizers and pretend they qualify as dinner ^_^

Rest assured, my friends, I am not as gloomy as I sounded before.
