February comes to a close

Well, here I am. Halfway (almost) through the semester, taking exams left and right, performing audits to show that I can both hear music and write it instantly and see music and perform it instantly. It's been a bit rocky and occasionally I find myself feeling like I've never touched a piano in my life. I'm starting a new class next week, which means another 'sit in class and take notes just because the college requires this for graduation (though I'll never use it) and do homework like I actually have time' added to my life.
An update on my health--I have had bloodwork done and got a CaT scan yesterday. I won't even get in to how that went, but 'good' wouldn't describe it. I'm anxiously awaiting results.
Still plan to record over break, which is in just over a week, thank God! Don't know how much I'll get accomplished, but at least I can get acquainted with the software and editing stuff.
I've written some new songs lately and sent 2 poems in for publishing. I'll see if anything develops there.
Thanks for reading

Is this winter?

Hey--yes, I'm alive. Turns out I have an issue with my liver, but nothing too serious. I've had 2 chiropractic adjustments this week and will have another tomorrow. Looks like my spine is a bit crooked and my neck is straight (should be curved) with vertabrae sitting on top of each other, pinching nerves and such. Explains the grinding I feel when I move my head.
It's February but it doesn't feel like it. It's been so warm and we haven't had any snow on the ground since '05. I am not a fan of shoveling, but I'm wondering what the heck happened to winter. Knowing NE, we'll get a blizzard later this month and a nasty March. Today it was very cold--funny how some days can be 15 degrees and the cold doesn't bother you and other days it's 35 and the cold bites your bones. I had someone from Alaska say that it's technically colder there but feels colder here. Odd.
Grams is better--thanks for the prayers. You can redirect them for my aunt Toni. She has had Lupus for years and has had more surgeries than I can remember and just got home from another one. She needs big time prayers, as she is in her 40s but has the health of a 90-year-old. Dad could use prayers too--not even gonna get into that.
After some drama, turns out I'm not gonna get the XP from dad's office. The guy with the code won't let us have it for this computer, so I had the XP disc, but no code to install it. Gonna look over XP Home and Pro to decide which to get. If all goes as planned, I'll do some recording in March over Spring Break. *cross fingers*
Valentine's Day is coming up and I'm in my state of perpetual solitude, so it'll suck as always. V-Day is always a crappy day for me for some reason--bad things always happen. Let's break the streak this year, huh? BTW, I HATE it when people say "valentime's day". There is no M in the name! Also, how did 2 Catholic feast days, St. Valentine's and St. Patrick's, get whored out into commercial sex and booze events?
Anywho, I'll try to update soon--we'll see.
Song of the Day: "Gorecki" by Lamb. It is used briefly (and VERY quietly) in Moulin Rouge.
