Mom didn't go play darts last night after all, so pizza and The Borgias happened, and then I relinquished the TV to her and headed to my room to read on my computer and work on the Warlock Sock. (The shawl was on a purl row and I decided I didn't want to try doing that while reading -- especially since I'd worked on it during lunch and at the front ( Read more... )

Got out of here a little bit later than planned, but still made it to my appointment early. Spent more time in the waiting room than I did actually having my cavity seen to -- fast and simple, and I got home around 5pm. And then I completely ran out of gas -- lay around on the bed for an hour, before getting myself up to go feed the cats and ( Read more... )

Visited Grandma, got home and had dinner and finished the colorwork band on my pink-and-grey sock and got into the striping section, all as planned. And then when I finished up with the sock and put it away, instead of getting up to put the bunnies away for the night and get myself into bed, I dozed off on the love seat. Got myself up and moving ( Read more... )

Got out of here at 5:45 last night, got home to find myself the first one there and had already gotten my dinner out of the way and was on my second half-hour show off the DVR when Mom got home. We finished it and cleared another few shows off the DVR while I put five rows onto my shawl. Oh, and I received a package from ThinkGeek that included a ( Read more... )

And last night I went home with good intentions -- to find Mom already there, sitting on the couch and soon turning the channel to a Rangers game. After I'd finished my dinner and moved to the love seat, she made noises about wanting to watch a Netflix movie instead of a sport she isn't all that interested in -- but I was already involved in my ( Read more... )

Last night was fairly tolerable, though round about the time I was ready to go to bed I had to spend another few hours clearing some files off my thumb drive. (Seriously. This needs to be something I deal with Saturday -- a major backlog in the Pictures folder, going back months. It's going to take a lot of time to clear out completely.) And then ( Read more... )

So I went into the weekend with simple goals, and I met them. Finished off A Dance with Dragons Saturday night, and even got in a proper gym session during that time. (Pity I didn't turn on the laptop and get some knitting done during the many hours I spent reading at home, but I was running low on plain stockinette projects and needed to hold ( Read more... )

So in browsing around on Amazon a couple of days ago I ran across a Georgette Heyer I hadn't actually read -- which isn't unusual, since I've only read a very few of hers -- but which I vaguely remembered as being a title I'd seen a rec for -- and more to the point, Cotillion is available for free on Kindle, so I got it. (Also, I'm seeing The Black ( Read more... )

In bed at 11pm and woke up before the alarm went off, so I'm feeling optimistic about my energy levels today. Also, the receptionist is back, so I'm hoping for a productive day. (Which is good, since today's account is going to involve a great deal of typing.) And the women's restroom on our floor is back open, after having been closed for repairs ( Read more... )
