2. The local news is so terrible, none of the reporters are trained reporters. None have broadcast experience. Some of them cannot read from a teleprompter. It's embarrassing. It's painful. Why do I torture myself by watching?

3. Free pizza tastes better than pizza I pay for. That's a fact. I got a freebie because I had to wait so long for delivery the last time I ordered. Tastes better.

4. I still haven't picked my next knit project. I have several gorgeous skeins but can't make up my mind what I want to whip up.

5. I've been watching a lot of TV and Netflix and Starz.

6. And that means reading has kind of stalled out. I've started a couple of books but just can't seem to engage in them.

7. Tomorrow is a workshop day for my department mates and me. We don't actually have an agenda so it could be a rather long waste of time.

8. Thursday is the storm predicted in #1, so we might not have school.

9. Friday is a half-day with a pep rally in the morning so not much will get accomplished that day.

10. I'm going to try to finagle a shower on Friday. Between school and my lymphedema treatment, there is a possibility that I could have time to sneak in a shower. The things I take for granted! But I haven't had a shower since mid-January and I have to say that sponge bathing is labor-intensive and gross. Definitely one of the biggest challenges of the treatment process is giving up showers.
