Feeling twitchy

Dragon Mood? -- twitch, twitch, snort, TWITCH!

It's Saturday morning which is usually one of those times that I LOVE to post.

But this morning, I'm feeling decidedly twitchy. It could be because:

  • TONIGHT, the Spartans are playing the Tar Heels in the second FINAL FOUR game! Arrrgh!
  • the dog just threw up twice out by the back door. I heard some funny noises and went to investigate. Yellow, liquidy throw-up. Did she eat something she shouldn't have? What is going on with her?
  • I put the teakettle on the stove to boil some water for some healthy iced green tea later today with the requisite basketball-game-watching popcorn. The teakettle made these very strange thumping noises! Is our teakettle possessed? Is this a sign? Is the teakettle about to throw up?
  • my cell phone continues to behave oddly. I called Yosh on a fully charged phone this morning. We talked for 39 minutes and some seconds (as if seconds could make the difference!) and when we got off the phone, my battery was down to one bar. What is up with that? Then I TXT-messaged several people about the impending game, and then several more subsequent TXT-messages with Lina. Still at one bar. Arrrrgh again!
  • the wind is blowing something fierce here in mid-Michigan this morning. Did Mother Nature forget that we have transitioned to April, not blustery March? She's two days late on the blustery winds. This is the month for birthdays, spring bulbs peeking their green heads out, winter-triumphant daffodils and gentle spring rains. Not blustery winds that are bending the 50-feet-tall pines over at alarming angles, careening back and forth with scary movements toward our oh-so-vulnerable roof.
Yes, after reviewing the possible reasons, I definitely have a RIGHT to feel twitchy!
