The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Until the stars are all alight

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

I'd say it sounds like you have a case of the ~Mondays~ but I think I'd get my ass kicked for saying something like that! :~D

As for learning new stuff, sometimes doing is the way you learn it.

Seriously.... Have some fun Rosie, it's spring and you could get hit by a truck next week!

... And in some parts, Dubya does start with a D. :~D

It's hard to learn by doing when you don't know how to even *start* the doing part.

I guess it's just a necessary stage of any job that you go from feeling like "Hey, I'm new, I have an excuse to be clueless" to "Hey, I'm not so new...I shouldn't be this clueless!! Ack!!"

Like I said, part of it is just the time of year. I want my Mom.

As for that last...yeah, I know, I know. Actually, that's part of why I wasn't sure how to take it.

Try to get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow, start out with a 4 shot latte. :~D

I actually don't go in until 10:30 tomorrow. We're doing a server upgrade tomorrow night, which may help me feel not so useless or might not, depending on if I'm able to comprehend it at all.

I'm supposed to take dinner from five to six - hoping to run home and check on Cisco and give him dinner and all. Poor baby...I've not been a barrel of laughs this week. Though I did play a long time with him yesterday - let him chase the water monster all over. ;-)

Oh boy! She has had a nice birthday. We made a funfetti cake and topped it with strawberry frosting. I added a jeweled crown in icing. She even blew out her candles on her own! She had a princess hat, but wouldn't wear it. I think she will love seeing your crown!
