My typical Saturday involves having lunch outside and sitting there reading the paper for a while; I'm out for roughly an hour all told. Today was truly pleasant outside, the sort of summer day we live for, warm but not too hot and with a nice breeze. When I came inside and mom asked what it was like, and I told her, she said something about not ( Read more... )

Today's excitement: My first eye appointment in almost four and a half years. I've needed new glasses for ages, made all the more important because the crack in my right lens has grown to now reach halfway through. It's officially affecting my vision. Plus, I mean, my glasses are from 2010. In filling out paperwork for today's exam, I found my old ( Read more... )

I put on my big girl panties today. Like, multiple pairs ( Read more... )

My dad has a busy-for-him week, where he has three days away from home, but he still wondered if I'd wanted to go on our annual Christmas shopping sojourn. At one point mom also considered taking a day off to join us, possible to go up to Woodfield or something similar, but she used her day off this week to take care of grandma's situation, plus ( Read more... )

My day started off inauspiciously. I got out of bed relatively quickly, knowing it was a Monday and the weather was bad. Dad was still asleep when I Wii'd this morning, and I made sure to be quick with my shower so I had a little extra time to layer up.

Yesterday was…a very long day. It was a Monday, meaning I had my weekly work meeting, work itself, my break between work and band (in which I worked--I stayed in the break room and helped out my coworker with a couple things as needed, so it wasn't like I worked the whole time, at least), and then band ( Read more... )

The other day, my parents got a letter in the mail saying their mortgage payment was late and they'd been assessed a late charge. Mom was confused, because she knew she'd paid it--and she even went or sent my dad on a special errand to mail it. I think she did it, because she said she'd put it in the first mailbox at the post office. I happened ( Read more... )

Extra-crunchy crunch time. I'm working to get stuff done before I go, especially considering I'm gone the next two days. I managed to get my oil changed yesterday, and today wanted to do a couple things before my goddaughter's wedding--bank for gift, and then post office for stamps. Except, coming up Randall Road this afternoon, I saw emergency ( Read more... )
