the email I just got from Vicky (who is visiting her brother in BC):

Cuddle tiems for Duck-Duck!!

You can sit in the chair by my laptop and use the sacrificial towel, and then you pet him 66 times behind his left ear in a scritch scratch way. And then 67 times behind his right ear in a scratch-scritch motion. Then use both hands to pet his back until ( Read more... )

So Barb called this morning. Somebody called in sick so she needed me to start at 1130 instead of 115. I opened concession and worked that right up until my new kids showed up for their orientation. All three of them. There were meant to be 6. Oh well. Do feel a bit badly for two of them though, the other trainee (some girl called Victoria) was ( Read more... )

We cleaned!! and found that we did in fact have a living room under all that stuff. Sort of. It still isn't ideal, and Vicky has grand schemes plans for much more, but it is so much closer to how it was pre-fire. And we were both much much happier with it then, so it's a step in the right direction.

So, a productive day off, if not necessarily a ( Read more... )

ATTN VICKY:: Should you be checking your flist at work, wanted to let you know I would like to prepare for supper some tofu/fish thing I found a recipe for, but I do not believe we have the required cornstarch. Stop and buy some? (yes I know you have a phone, as do I, but it's all the way across the room, and the internet is right here. and who are ( Read more... )

so, thanks to a pharmacist approved combination of sleep aids and extra strength robax, I can move my arms/head and neck enough to check the flist while home from work. Couldn't go in as the sleep aids meant I was asleep for half my scheduled shift. Should've taken it easier yesterday at the ex but it was Tal and Avia's last day in Canada (already ( Read more... )

so, polaris was this past weekend. Vicky and I've gone with one group or another for the past couple years (this was year 3) This year it was Naomi (the younger sister), Vicky, and I. We spent so much time the past two years hanging out at the special needs desk, that the guy in charge decided to recruit us, so this year the three of us were ( Read more... )

So I spent last night packing. Stopped in the grocery store after work with the kid sister and bought plastic bins to pack into and use as storage here (also new undies, two bras, and 3 of the cutest t-shirts. and for some reason nothing had any tax). Also disassembled my bookcases and bed (slept on the basement futon). Woke early (ish, the alarm ( Read more... )

So You Think You Can Dance is back. Never watched anything pre-voting before, I've watched most of 2 seasons, but I always came late to the game. It was on while I was tutoring yesterday, and since I'd dragged Naomi to tutorboy's house with me so we could go to the movies after, she watched it with his parents. Ended up watching the last ten ( Read more... )

Wow, so I spent 2 nights on my dad's couch due to tiredness, laziness, and a day off work combining. My neck/back is very ++ displeased. Whatever. I was only in a sorta okish mood, but then Naomi showed up at my work (to drop off a resume, it'd be cool if they hired her, but I probably wouldn't really see her there either way) and kidnap me. She ( Read more... )

So I finally went to bed around 630 or 7, took me quite a while to fall asleep. At 11 am? Vicky called because she had read my 6am post and wanted to discus it (silly girl I is sleepy at 11 am!). Got back to sleep for a bit, then the phone rang again at 1. Work needed me in ASAP as the box person today didn't show either. Poor manager was doing ( Read more... )
