Groundhog Day.....

'Somebody asked me today, "Phil, if you could be anywhere in the world, where would you like to be?" And I said to him, "Prob'ly right here - Elko, Nevada, our nation's high at 79 today." Out in California, they're gonna have some warm weather tomorrow, gang wars, and some *very* overpriced real estate. Up in the Pacific Northwest, as you can see, they're gonna have some very, very tall trees.'This week I have felt like I was Bill Murray Groundhog Day......there has been one thing after the other since Monday. I was so looking forward to a peaceful December, but no such thing. There has been one fire storm after the other and this week....the very week before Christmas has been worse than the others. I finally forced myself to listen to Christmas music today...and 15 minutes later was prying my finger out of my car door. Yes...I slammed my finger in my door...and not a light-weight door at that. Sure I had gotten it trapped in my Escort and Pathfinder's years ago...but this was one big, honking door...the pain was not sudden so I kept walking into the store and shopped for a moment. It started throbbing a little with a sharp pain...but I proceeded to the checkout and it was at that point that I felt nauseous, became sweaty, my eyes clouded over and my ears started ringing...this feeling I knew....pass out time!! I dropped my stuff at the checkout and ran to my car. I sat for a minute contemplating calling Ms. C to come get me.....but I survived....stomaching the pain and drove to the doc-in-a-box for an Xray {chalk it up to piece of mind}. It was fine and I guess I'll know for sure if I wake up tomorrow with a finger in one piece....only time will tell.....but I surely hope this week ends soon, even though I am not ready for Christmas to be over.....tis the season.....
