1. The kids are really squirmy this week. It's only Tuesday, so I do not look forward to what they'll act like on Friday.
2. Had a frustrating parental contact day. If I call you because I'm concerned about your son or daughter, don't weird me out with long stretches of silence on the line, or with an annoyed tone in your voice.
3. The furnace isn't lighting... again. The service people cannot come in until Jan. 2, so I'm fuckin' cold. Last night was pretty brutal. To top it off, I let a friend whose furnace was busted over the weekend borrow my space heater before I knew that mine would stop working. Hers isn't being fixed until Thursday, and she has a six-year old son, so I'm going to shut up about it so her kid can stay sort of warm. On the plus side, I don't really have to worry about shutting my refrigerator door. (I'm just kidding about that.)
4. Will people go out to eat on the Tuesday before Christmas? Tonight, we shall see. Please let there be a nice rich doctor office party like there was on Saturday...

As an experiment - and maybe due to the strain that gas prices are putting on my (beer) budget - I decided I'd go through the winter without turning on the heat (I have the thermostat set at 50 and I live in Oregon). You were kidding, but one of the benefits is that I don't have to worry if I leave a refridgerable out on the counter overnight (or three).
