That was nice

I slept for nearly twelve hours. It was a little longer than I'd planned to sleep, but only a little. The plan was to get up at nine, and I ended up getting up at ten instead. Not too bad, all things considered. I think I needed the sleep more than I needed the up-and-about time.

Now I have about an hour in which to finish breakfast, shower, and go to work.

The house is clean, the cats are fed and mostly content (except that they never get food or pats or love, EVER), and the Beatles are playing in the background.

I have this vague feeling that it's probably pretty cold out. It was very cold yesterday, although I broke out my winter coat and thus was not caught unprepared. Yes, I *do* stay in my fall coat until the last possible second, why do you ask? ;)

Work ought to be interesting for the next little while. Swing shift this week, then back on night shift for another seven days starting Monday.

Makes sense. My Chinese sign is the horse, too. Overall, I appear to be of the hooved persuasion.

Conservatives everywhere...

So the Conservatives are still in power at the federal level. The conservative-pretending-to-be-a-liberal just won a solid majority at the provincial level. Bob Rae has stepped down from the leadership race for the federal Liberals, leaving the conservative-pretenting-to-be-a-liberal Ignatieff to take the leadership.

My politics are definitely not conservative. While I am not thrilled with having a conservative government in power, I am willing to deal with it until the next election.

OTOH, it would be nice if we had an actual CHOICE come the next election. Is that too much to ask?
