Valentine's Day! Hip, hip, hooray! Another heart-filled, bleeding day! Cannot leave and cannot stay! Year of the horse that eats the hay! There has to be another way! Across the seas, along the bay! Whispers, shouts, and a loud melee! But, cannot leave and cannot stay! A-weigh!

Had a way too big lunch today, but it was tasty! BBQ ribs, french fries, green beans, garlic toast, and salad. However, did not do a green tea latte today. Beginning to feel the effects of not having my daily dose of caffeine--even if it's only a light dose with the tea.

Lots of activity about the place today--contractors doing their work on the patio et al. No sign of the nasty neighbor. I thought that the construction guy would park his truck as close as he could to the guy's property--just for giggles. But, he didn't so all is quiet on the neighborhood front.

I only managed to get out and about when I went for lunch. Else, I felt that I needed to stick close in case the construction guys needed anything.

Watched a couple more episodes of MI-5--can't get enough of that BBC stuff! After about 40 episodes where the whole world (or maybe just Britain) is in mortal danger each time, the writers are still coming up with likely, possible scenarios. What helps keep the action moving forward is that they lose an agent now and then--which bolsters the reality element. The agents can be hurt, killed, tortured, and be caught up in their own psychological sidetracks.

Wrote a note to LA today regarding her note about how 2013 was for her. She went through a series of work/life-related turmoils that hopefully will not reprise in 2014. I felt sad for her and all that she had to deal with--but she is a strong person and will make it through just about anything. I encouraged her to do something enlivening and off-the-wall in the coming year--to help her shake off the debris left from last year. May she find peace and joy this year of the horse!
