the first wave has hit us and dumped about three inches. there's more on the way -- Wave 2 and Wave 3. they're predicting 8-12, although that changes on a minute-by-minute basis.
it's pretty. it's cold. it sucks.

the swelling on the knuckle is starting go down, but HELLFIRE, that shit hurts.

i did get out to the store (and miraculously, did not fall) and there's beef stew in the crockpot and i'm in my flannels. a nice piece of business came in today due to my sales efforts, and that was very gratifying. our January this year beat our January last year by almost twenty-five percentage points.
yep, yep.

soon, soon, not to be my problem.

i had a talk with the GC concerning karma and Legends Of The Fall. now, before you wander off, scratching your head in true puzzlement, don't be so hasty.
have you seen it? Legends Of The Fall? it's one of the best movies i've ever seen, and i've only watched it once. it broke my heart into a million pieces, and part of me is in love with Tristan and will be forever. it's one of the GC's favorite movies (yes, she bawls every single time, silly girl, but hellfire, i can't watch it for that very reason, so who am i?) and we've had many a long and serious discussion about Tristan and his life and the choices he made. why he had to suffer such heartache and pain. (yes, Tristan is a real person. don't believe me? watch the movie.)
one explanation from the movie by One Stab is, something about how the people who loved Tristan "broke themselves upon him." i took this to mean they loved him too hard, and they couldn't take it. does that make sense? their love for Tristan is what destroyed them.
very tragic.
(yes, this is a sample of what the GC and i talk about. now you see why she's so fabulous?)
but today, the GC said, well, maybe that's not quite right. you know mom, maybe he was just an instrument of karma. he brought these people's karma *to* them.
i think it made her feel better, because it gave Tristan some kind of Purpose, instead of just being a mindless force of nature. because that's what love, true love, is. a force of nature.
and i pondered that, for a while. being an instrument of karma is a very powerful thing, and powerful things can be dangerous. they can wreak a lot of damage. on both sides.
it was a very thought-provoking conversation, which is another reason the GC is so fabulous.
;)
****
and, it tied in with another fabulous conversation with another fabulous person. my SM (i can't say what that stands for, i might get smacked, heh!) is very wise and has been a great comfort to me. you don't get a whole lot of intelligent conversation working at the front desk of a hotel, and it's...oh, how do i say it?
rewarding, i think is the word i'm looking for. strengthening, perhaps?
meh. words. slippery little buggahs.
****
you know, this past decade went by awfully fast. i wonder if the next one will be as swift.
****
the knight just braved the elements to bring me fried chicken livers (which i adore) and to make sure i'm all tucked in.
he made me eat while he was here. like i wasn't going to eat. (okay, so i hadn't eaten yet, but i was GONNA.)
me made me giggle through half the plate, and then i told him i couldn't eat anymore because he made my tummy hurt. he made this face that made me laugh even harder. he cracks me up.
*sigh*
i don't know how he puts up with me. poor guy.
heh.
