I've done just about everything I can do in preparation for Gaming Day. I'll be doing some shopping in about an hour, will do more shopping once I can extract Lowell from work, and will continue doing laundry until every bit of it is done. Then I will go to sleep. When I wake up, I'll set up anything I want set up for the evening, vacuum the ( Read more... )

I've lived in what could be described as squalor before. For some reason, this irritates me much more now than it did then, probably because I was rarely home to experience it. Here are the "get our house cleaned the eff up" goals for the week:

TODAY
--continue on laundry
--change sheets on both beds
--clean bedroom
--wash dishes (These two? Not ( Read more... )

I've not been home before...*thinks*...9:00 PM pretty much any night this week. Had to work late Monday, went to help Mom, Sally, and James in Evanston on Tuesday, and was out for the birthday dinner last night. Tonight I hope to be home by 3:30, and I hope the weather cooperates. The city is digging in for some massive snowfall over the next ( Read more... )

Aldwin and I agreed on it, and I've been hearing much of the same all week. This year FLEW by. And I will say right now that this was easily one of the best and worst years of my life. Well, maybe that's overquantifying. I may have just made a word up there. At any rate. The high moments were high, and the low moments were low. There were ( Read more... )

My nose, fingers, and toes are still cold. I don't understand. I've been in the somewhat warm office for more than an hour now. I hate that. It makes it very hard to concentrate, because I'm continually stopping what I'm doing to wiggle or rub my nose and fingers. Blargh ( Read more... )

My legs hurt. Of all things. I walked a mile, did some weight exercises, and sit ups, and my calves hurt when I walk. This is all sorts of awesome. I'm assuming I did something wrong amidst all that. Le sigh ( Read more... )

Good, busy, productive weekend ( Read more... )

Wouldn't you know it? First time I've straightened my hair for work in probably a fortnight, and I get caught in the four minute torrential downpour that hit the work area around 10:00 this morning. I don't know what it looks like now, and I'm afraid to look. I think I will have to scrounge around for bobby pins this evening and just give up for ( Read more... )

The gym/Dominicks/Starbucks over on Dempster and Waukegan seems so far from our house. It only takes about two or three minutes to drive there, but it still feels like it's so far away. I decided to brave the elements (read: the misting rain) and walk there today. I Google mapped the route to see how long it was round trip: only a little under ( Read more... )

Lowell and I have successfully completed both the Botanica and the Mechanar in World of Warcraft in the past two days. These are part of the Tempest Keep group of instances, and I really like them. I couldn't say why. I don't know that we'll be able to do the Arcatraz tonight, as Feathermoon is undergoing extensive updates or something today on ( Read more... )
