aww, you do care

Thank yous to all who sent me cheerful words, esp. Yuhta. :) I will pull through this awful joblessness, but sometimes it is hard to see that. The good news is that I will have time to bring in my harvest while I wait for more interviews, so I can save money on groceries by canning my fresh produce! yum

Andrew and I watched March of the Penguins tonight and though it wasn't as good as Winged Migration, it is still worth a viewing. It did make me realize how trivial my problems are when compared to the prospect of raising a baby in an Antarctic winter. And with that, it's off to bed.

My 7 month old apple seedlings died this week and I would have cried, but my cousin and her boyfriend bought me a "Meat is Gross" sticker for my car and I had to laugh.

And yes, Artie is a doggy. She is a very stinky doggy, but she's my sister and we bond (when she's not busy biting me).
