Winter Rejuvenation

As I finish the first month of 2010 I would like to take a brief pause to analyze just how much has changed in these short weeks. The first new edition to my life was a cat. After finding the cat, whom is named Sookie ( I guess it has a television show reference) under a car one evening while inebriated, my coworker since then decided he did not want to keep it. Reluctantly, I accepted to watch this cat while he was away in Morocco and through the two weeks of being helplessly clawed, bitten, and finding peed strewn clothing, I fell in love. Sookie is a marvelous companion, besides her waking me up nightly at 3:41 am and demanding food or when she gets angry and just decides to pee on the floor she is a positive addition to the Cullen on Clinton Clan.

Another radical addition was my Christmas gift of a brand new computer. It is hard to imagine not having had a computer since July 2008, but it did allow me to get a large dependency on my Blackberry (good thing? debatable). Once I finally learned how to find the writing application on the Mac I added blogging to my short list of New Year's Resolutions and once I decided that merely writing the list did not satisfy fulfillment I engaged in concurring my goals. Primarily, I decided I wanted to get back into reading and once I finished "The Widow Clicquot" by Tilar Mazzeo, I moved to my next goal- spending more time at the gym- I dominated this one as well (modest, I know) bad am finally on my last one- returning to my passion of writing- thus I find myself back here on a blog that has two entries from mid-Fall when life in the Lower East Side was brand new and the Winter still seemed far enough away that I complained when it was 60 degrees.

Now here we are at 10pm on a Friday night, I am freezing as in the past 2 months I discovered my two radiators are merely decorative. I am hungover because I decided that since I stayed in all week it would be wise to drink heavily and go dancing at 4:30 am when waking for work at 7am was only an afterthought . So after taking a 4 hour mid-afternoon nap I arose to find nothing to occupy my time except for my computer and since I am a stingy bitch and do not have personal internet and am at the mercy of my neighbors' unprotected networks, I was left offline with a new computer that has nothing on it except 3 songs in iTunes. Thus, with Sookie sprawled over my left leg and me laying under 5 layers of blankets on the 10 degree weather night I decided to return to my blog.
