I'm going to give this month's challenge a shot, now that I'm on a computer that boots and runs consistently. ^_^ (Details to be had at gurdymonkey's LJ ( Read more... )

Skipped Tea - I'm tired from insomnia (only 2 hours of sleep last night, and if I can't get enough sleep tonight, I may email the professor and ask to have until Friday to take the test...) and the stress of work is starting to make my stomach gurgle unpleasantly. Yey ( Read more... )

Yesterday and today went much better than expected - no fights to speak of (though there were a few moments where screaming was sorely tempting). I drank a lot - about 8 glasses of wine, total. (Prosecco may be trendy, but it's not all that good. I'll stick to riesling, thanks.) And I can hold my liquor pretty well, given that I wasn't knocking it ( Read more... )

I keep looking at the Yule scents and the Resurrected scents (among others) and finding that it's VERY tempting to add Midnight Mass and the Earth and Wood and Candy Phoenixes to the cart. And Lick It, because... yeah. Everyone needs perfume with naughty double entendres ( Read more... )

It's funny, but I've been so used to the massive blue chair and the other chair(s) crammed into the office for so long that stepping in today, I had to stop and gather my thoughts a moment, because I was certain i'd walked into the wrong room. There's open space in the middle. A single chair. The desk is visible. It's downright WEIRD. (Admittedly ( Read more... )

Tea went well last night - I went through the chitosebon steps, did NOT know them, and said as much. And then Sensei checked that I knew how to properly serve tea, which I did, so that's all I'm going to do when I'm not helping in the mizu-ya. And that, I can deal with. I also haven't heard a peep about dressing people, which is another thing I am ( Read more... )

Laid flat with a sinus headache since 6am, that decided to team up with some sort of stomach bug. I wasn't able to keep food down until about 4ish this afternoon, and I'm still not entirely sure if I'm nauseous or hungry ar the moment, though I had some success with toast. [I am SO GLAD today was a holiday, which saved me from using my PTO at work ( Read more... )
