I really shouldn’t be complaining at the moment. I’m in a nice warm house, with my little space heater blazing, and my electric blanket preheating my bed. I know it’s far colder in many other parts of the country. My current 8 degrees would likely seem balmy to those in the upper Midwest, as would the 0 degrees it’s supposed to drop to at the lowest point. Still, it’s cold, and I don’t like it.

In other news, I’ve got ER on right now, and as strange as it sounds, I’m starting to feel like a kindred spirit to a fictional character. Yeah, that is kind of crazy. Some of the self-doubts and life questions that the writers have had Neela dealing with late last season and into this season echo so much the same self-doubts and life questions I’ve been asking myself lately. I have a feeling that due to this being ER’s last season and all, Neela is going to get things figured out long before I do.
