Frickin Freezing Here Today

I am barely awake in spite of a Ritalin and two bottles of caffeinated water. I woke up shivering. Our heat is on but it is so cold outside that it is cold in here despite the heat. I had Nick set the thermostat up to 70. Maybe in a few minutes I will warm up. I'm snuggled under my covers with my laptop on my lap. Eventually the heat from the laptop may warm me. Sometimes my laptop gets pretty hot.

Dail and I stayed up pretty late watching Twin Peaks. We got to the season one cliffhanger where Agent Cooper was shot and couldn't stop watching so we watched one more episode before calling it a night. Ronette is waking from her coma with memories of seeing BOB kill Laura. The last scenes were of BOB beating Laura over the head. I am anxious to see the next episode and if Ronette remembers who BOB actually is. The Giant visited Agent Cooper and gave him some clues. He said there is only one person who saw the third man at the cabin that night. Even though Ronette was there, I'm thinking she saw BOB as BOB as not as the real person he inhabits. I think MIKE is the only one left alive who knows who BOB is. I can't wait to find out. I am REALLY hooked on this story now.

I'm feeling a little buzzed from the caffeine now and wish I had stopped at one bottle. The caffeine makes me anxious sometimes and it looks like today is one of those days. If I ever settle down I will rewatch some of the episodes so I can pick up on things I might have missed the first time around. I am also re-reading Laura Palmer's diary and now it is making more sense to me since I know more about the people she is writing about. The whole story is very tragic and there is an otherworldly quality about the whole thing but the town of Twin Peaks seems to be a seedy little place underneath and everybody seems to be cheating on their mates. It reminds me of a soap opera. Except it has a psychic twist. It is a very unique show and I don't recall ever seeing anything else like it on TV. If you haven't seen it but like the weird and bizarre and mysterious, you might want to check into getting the series. Maybe rent the prequel first and see how you like it before investing in the whole series. All the episodes are available at Amazon.

I am finally beginning to warm up. It must be the bacon. Plus I kicked the heat up a little more. I hate these cold and dreary days. I'm ready for spring; I haven't seen the forecast for this weekend but I hope it clears off. I would love to go hiking on Sunday but we will have to see about the weather. Dail and I both and gotten out of the exercise habit. It is time to start back again. I'm going to try to get on the treadmill today. Tomorrow will be my weigh in day. I expect there will be no change. I don't think I have lost but I haven't gained either. I'm at a stand still because I can't consistently keep my act together. My eating has been ruled by my emotions lately. I need to get that in hand;

I'm going to stop now as Beth is on the phone. More later.
