Our newest addition to the family: Zhaomi-Mei, a 15.6" laptop with a 1080p monitor. 8 GB RAM, 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD, dedicated graphics, the whole thing. Full-size keyboard. In short: Very shiny ( Read more... )

"Disposable" does not equal "biodegradable" even in the world of tea filters. The new tea filters I got are actually made out of polyethylene/polypropylene. So I have to rip them apart after use, sprinkle the tea leaves into the compostable trash and throw the used filter in non-recycling trash (or can I recycle them as plastic?). This is quite ( Read more... )

Today, I finally tried out the blender I bought on my last trip to Førde (almost a month ago...) - I made Odessa a smoothie out of a can of cat food. It looked disgusting, but she seemed to like it a lot. She has some problem with her throat, and whenever I give her canned food she usually just licks off the gravy and leaves most of the chunks to ( Read more... )

The mold spot on the living room ceiling has started to grow back ( Read more... )

Great day. Not so great night; I got approximately three hours of sleep. Got myself down to the doctor's office and got an appointment booked, and will be able to pick up my prescription on Monday or Tuesday. Walked both ways ( Read more... )

Annoyance of the day: Traffic noises completely drown out the sound of the voice reading a book on my mp3 player, even at max volume. If I'm going to listen to audio books while walking, I am restricted to long walks in the woods ( Read more... )

Feels like I'm going to be ded again. I can't afford that; I have things I need to do. I can be ded tomorrow when everything is closed anyway. And I need to be awake on Monday for an important meeting. I guess today's tea is going to be a high-caffeine one. Let's see.. Blue of London. ^_ ( Read more... )

Had my first group therapy session yesterday. I had to sign a form about not revealing any private information, so I can't give much in the way of details, but it was cool - at the end of the session I felt like I had known the others for a long time. Their issues may not be the same as mine, but I found that I could relate to everything, and no ( Read more... )

I have five different toothpastes so I can choose whichever flavor I am in the mood for.

I get upset when people write about sweetened tea as if it's the normal thing to do. Tea isn't supposed to be sweet. It's supposed to taste like tea, not tea-flavored sugar water ( Read more... )

I think the drugs are preventing me from getting depressed about my financial situation. It's pretty bleak right now. I'm not under, but I should have had a lot more saved up for upcoming expenses. I have enough to pay the internet bill that's due in a few days, and nearly 1/6th of the rent, where normally I'd have at least half. Payday before the ( Read more... )
