Glad to see you're all still here! I've been away, not because I'm insanely busy all the time, but more from not believing I'll ever get anything posted before the dial-up cuts me short. Anyway, here goes nothing ( Read more... )

   I've spent most of this week taking care not to hurt my ankle again, and it's finally starting to hurt less. It's about time, too, because on Saturday my friend and her family are moving house, and we (my cousin, and another friend) promised to mind the kids during the move. They are three and two years old, and then there's my cousin's baby, ( Read more... )

   I'm all disappointed, because the money for the laptop didn't arrive on my bank account in time for us to go shopping today, so we'll have to do it on Monday instead (or tomorrow, if by a miracle the bank accounts do electronic transfers during the weekends *facepalm*. Anyway, I've not had such a bad day in all, because I decided to make the ( Read more... )

   No, I haven't changed my policy on staying indoors when it's raining. I very rarely go out at all in the rain if I don't have to, so it's always a novelty, and often not as bad as I thought it would be. Anyway, I'm watching these two young boys, who are out there, in the pouring rain, swinging and talking. I suddenly remembered that I've seen ( Read more... )

   This day just whizzed by. I did some laundry in the morning, then I fooled around on the internet, and then I suddenly got the inspiration to clean my desk. It's about time, too, because I've only been using it for keeping papers and magazines on, and occasionally to hold my laptop. I usually don't sit at it, because it's an L-shaped table with ( Read more... )

   I went to the pharmacy today and bought that other allergy medicine, the one that doesn't make you tired, and it's just as well, because I actually dozed off again today, after coming back home from my parents. I've spent most of the day just hanging out, reading, knitting and trying to watch Deathly Hallows, part one. It's quite a good movie, ( Read more... )

   It's time for another deep question, as you can see by the title. My answer is no, I don't push the elevator/lift button several times, nor do I imagine it would help. I'm not a very impatient person as a rule, and if I'm ever in a hurry, I can use the stairs.
   This has been a productive day for me. I bought a lot of groceries and some adhesive ( Read more... )

   I was so tired today, that I didn't even get to the grocery store. I had to cook lentil stew again, and it turned out ok, considering. First, the knife I used for chopping the onion was too dull, so I had to experiment with two other knives. Then I managed to scorch the onion pieces, and couldn't be bothered to chop another one. The tomato sauce ( Read more... )

   Happy Palm Sunday, everyone! I just got home after walking my friend to the railway station. It's still snowing today, but I guess it won't keep up... We had a nice day just talking and playing the piano a little. I showed my awesome account on goodreads, which is taking up way too much of my time:). But I've found lots of interesting books to ( Read more... )

... so that means spring is on the way, right? Right? I've been saying spring is on the way starting in January, and I'm sticking to that story. Baby steps, but definitely on the way...
   I joined Goodreads! You can look at my bookshelves here, at least if you have an account. I spent some hours browsing books today, and it's nice to see that the ( Read more... )
