Noticed Amelia was in bad shape last night just as I was leaving for work. No time to do anything about it ( Read more... )

This has been a really shitty year for pets. I just got done burying Hrothgar the Easily-Startled in the backyard ( Read more... )

So, yeah. I'm in a phase of reconsidering my habits and "obligations" to see what I can pare from my routine, and I'm not wanting to give up on making semi-regular journal posts. In fact, I'm wishing I'd been posting at least once or twice a week, because I have a file of quick notes to remind me what I wanted to mention in my next entry and it's ( Read more... )

And here I am with the material for the many journal entries I should have making over the last few weeks, all going into a single post. The keyboard stashed in the coffee table in the living room is helpful, but I still need to take the time to actually use it ( Read more... )

I did my taxes Monday. Wound up owing $71. So there's that ( Read more... )

Going to see Dad Tuesday, which means today I should be extra-productive. Instead I've gotten home from work an hour early (having neither gone to the gym nor grocery-shopped) and lain on the couch reading or screwing with my phone for the last couple-three hours ( Read more... )

I at least got my laundry done before going out, and my grocery run handled on Sunday, so it was just the rabbit cage (and vacuuming) and dishes held over till ( Read more... )

Two days of coming home, collapsing, and snoozing away the day -- those were Thursday and Saturday. Happily I got some weeding and light pruning done on Wednesday after the gym and Thursday after waking up. Yesterday was a total wash in terms of getting anything useful done beyond the bare minimum on my "to do" list ( Read more... )

So I got all the sleep I needed on Sunday night (and slept fairly late into Monday morning) yet I still ran out of energy late in the afternoon when I should have been cleaning the bunny cage. And I really should have dealt with the rabbit cage and the vacuuming yesterday, since I'm leaving to go visit Dad just as soon as I get off the computer. ( Read more... )
