I just finished up a "brunch" meeting with CB (she's helping me apply for a bank loan *fingers crossed*) and I am reminded that I am surrounded by very cool, competent people. Thank gawd. CB always makes me feel like I'm in control of my life - I love that, because I'm so clearly not. But if everything works out (I'll find out later on this week), ( Read more... )

Another weekend down the tubes, and nothing to show for it but an eased cough and expanded cabin fever. I must remind myself that there's no one to blame but myself for my insular ways, but feeling ill has always made it easier to ignore outside life altogether.

So, for the second time I have tried in vain to upload Yahoo!Messenger for my MAC so that I may chat online with my V buddies. It loads, and it sits there doing bugger all. It's the first time that the MAC-ness has let me down *sadness prevades* I have suggested to others that we try to chat via lj which has an IM option, but after looking into ( Read more... )

My boss went home early (again), so I went home and retrieved the laptop and spent the afternoon writing and editing stuff. And, listening to iTunes.
