February has only a few hours left. Only mental defectives will miss it. I went outside three times today and didn't think it was unusually cold, despite the temperature. The sky was a brilliant blue, and walking on the sunny side of the street was actually quite pleasant. At noon I attended to three chores and, when done, resisted the temptation to open up the book shop for an hour or so. The idleness is worse than not making the extra dollars. I tallied the month's earnings. I made more than I did in January, but I'm way off last year's pace. Fortunately, there's good news. I just received an email informing me I've won an auction at RewardTV. I've been trying for the last three months and was outbid about seven times, including once this month. I wanted the box set of season one of Elementary, which might have brought a good return on the street, but I settled for the DVD of latest adaptation of The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. I would've held out for something more marketable next month, but a big chunk of my points were about to expire. Now I'm back to almost zero. I enjoy the site, though, which features quizzes on last night's TV shows. I find it a good test of memory.
I vacuumed my wooden floor. For weeks I've been stepping on little bits of salt that wedge between the grooves on the soles of my sneakers. I was hoping we'd seen the last of it, but the forecast calls for a major storm Sunday night into Monday, and the way this winter has been going it won't be the typical March slush that melts the next day. There are still ugly masses of blackened snow and ice in spots. This winter reminds me of those of my youth -- long and frigid, mounds of snow at the edge of the curb until April. I hope that old saw of March coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb applies. At least it will be in the mid 30's the next two days, which will allow me to set up shop, provided the snow flurries predicted for Sunday don't show up until after three. I don't expect it to be easy, but this is ridiculous.
