Why run with the crowd when you can run around in circles?

I haven 't been out of the house for two days, other than to check to see that my mail is still in the box, unpicked up. Yes, honestly, the check IS in the mail. Has been for two weeks now.

It's rather too early in the year to go into hibernation mode, but so what. I feel like it, okay? In fact, I've been looking forward to this for quite a while. Outside, it's freakin' freezing and the wind is howling. Inside, it's oh so toasty thanks to the lovely wood stove. My home is so beautiful that I marvel at it everyday. It's not like I'm sitting around doing nothing all day but biting the florets off broccoli while plotting the downfall of the world's financial well being. Whaddaya mean, someone beat me to creating a poorer planet? Drat the shrubbery!

I turned my spare room into a canvas shop, and have been joyfully finishing up some overdue sewing projects, realizing my fondest dream of working at home in my underwear, even if it is long!

Someday I might even go outside to deliver the finished canvas to my clients. Like when I need more rent money to keep me in this haven so I don't have to go outside into the cold, harsh world.

Watch this space as winter progresses, to see if I can get as loopy as the guy on the 1000 days voyage around the world.
