I can sure ramble, can't I?
My left eye hurts like hell. Mum told me to take aspirin for it, and I hope that helps, but... Ugh. It's been hurting the last two or three days. I think it's because I got hand cream in my eye the other night. I always put some on my hands before I sleep, and that night I rubbed my eyes and, well. Some got into my eyes. And it stung like a bitch. I thought I got it all out, but maybe I was wrong.
Unfortunately as a side effect the eyesight in my left eye has gotten much worse than it was. My glasses still work, but without them even large signed 20-30 feet away look blurry. My right eye is still as it was a few days ago.
In other news, I started watching a show called Due South. About a Mountie in America. I've seen only one episode so far, but it's funny from what I've seen. If mum ever gets netflix again (Or I get it), I'm going to see if I can rent the series. Because starting off from episode 6 of season 1 is not fun. I want to watch it from the beginning!
I have a lot of things I'd like to rent from Netflix, actually. But I never got to, when mum had it. She was always busy when I asked her to put something in the queue for me, and then she canceled it. Bah. I'll just have to get my own account.
My fish are... fishy. Fishy fish. My kittens are quite cute and furry, and seemingly obsessed with this black fluffball toy we bought them. Casper is such a mouser. And a retriever. If you throw a toy he'll go grab it and bring it back to you, set it down, and wait for you to throw it again. So cute. Cyrus is... Cyrus. Still stuffing himself into peoples faces. My mum said today she thinks he's anti-literate because every time she picked up Blink Lake to try and read it he'd jump up and get in her face (She's on, IDK, chapter 4 or thereabouts, and the book club meeting is Wednesday. Way to go, mum. But at least she's interested. It took me a month to get through the book because I was bored with it).
I have no idea when, if ever, I'm going to stop calling them kittens and start calling them cats. They're almost 8 months now, I think. Big fluffy balls of fur.
I've been RPing a lot recently. Better than not writing anything at all, I guess. I just, I don't know, I'm in turmoil about writing anything meaningful (read = potentially sellable). I just don't have the enthusiasm ATM. Need to work around that. Cause seriously, WTF.
And we are now in Valentines Week, which is hectic at work. We were packed today. Very very unusual for our store. When I got on my first task was to dip! Dip dip and dip! We sold, well, not as many strawberries as we would have liked (we came away with 29 unsold at the end of the night), but we sold all the ones I dipped at least. The rest were white, dark, and multi-dipped, the types I didn't do in SBs today.
I did dip a lot of other stuff, though. Crazy amounts in milk (pretty much everything we sell dipped I dipped in milk today), a little in white (two sets of pirouettes (or however the hell you spell it, I know there's an x in there somewhere) and two sleeves of macaroons). And a decent amount dipped in dark. We're lucky we're a high-volume fruit store, because we have three dipping units. Most stores only have one, and have to swap the different chocolates in and out. I can't even imagine doing that. It takes enough time to do all the dipping with THREE units going at once! Gods, really.
So happy I have tomorrow off.
Drawing is... going okay. I can't seem to draw toddlers at the moment, which is annoying since nearly ALL the Sin'aeis growths that I need to do are toddlers. I do have one kid to do, though, so I suppose I'll work on him in the morning.
And I have blathered away enough tonight. I'm sleepy.
