Life is goooooooood. we went to a public skate today at the ice rink; had so much fun; i skated for nearly probably 3/4 of an hour. considering how infrequently i go out on the ice, i was pretty pleased with that. ;) AND i didn't even fall. not once. LOL

yesterday i tidied up the desk the computer's on. it was... overgrown. it is greatly improved and less cluttered.

the 23 chicks are doing great; they're very friendly and enjoy being held and carried around. it's only been 10 days with them in the house, and they're still under the heat lamp. i'm VERY grateful with the strong winds we've had the past few days that we haven't lost power once. i've been considering various back-up plans without the heat lamp in case it does happen in the next 3 weeks.

been reading Scott & Helen Nearing's The Good Life. am really enjoying the book, with its take of homesteading in the US in the 30's, 40's & 50's. very interesting perspective. I also have another 8 books on the go at the moment, not including e-books, so I'm slowly working through them all. ;)

Gung Hay Fat Choy! Happy year of the water dragon! :D
