Well, my youngest certainly made up for being healthy all while my eldest had her cold; she now not only has this terrible head cold, but pinkeye as well! She looks a bit like someone socked her in the nose, poor thing.

I got a fair bit of the bathroom painted. Still not sure of the colour though. Sigh. My own cold is still lingering, which is annoying, but so far I'm recovering.

I get to work tomorrow night, first time on the new job! I hope it works out okay. Making coffee, cleaning up, nothing really all that different than the deli, barring I no longer have to handle lots of meat. Lol, now that's a good thing!

Right now I'm watching Gene Kelly rollerskating. Cute movie. I've never seen anybody tap dance while wearing rollerskates before. I think it's called 'On the Town'.

I'm reading through some slightly better written paranormal romances. Well, slightly better written, lol. Some of the ones out there are just terrible. Brrrr. I'm trying out the 'unknown' (to me) authors (Rosemary Laurey, etc) first, saving the good stuff, like C.E. Murphy for after. It's kind of sad. Some of these stories have great premises, but just don't go anywhere interesting, or worse, tie everything up so poorly it hurts. Like, I just finished What do You Say to a Naked Elf? by Cheryl Sterling. I expected a cute, fluffy, fast read. I got that; the end was sooooo predictable, I didn't really have to read it! I hate that.

I may have to go find my copy of The Mirror of Her Dreams, by Stephen Donaldson just so I can read something powerful and enveloping.
