Back from the Boston Flower Show (after the things mentioned in a recent, locked entry, matters gradually improved, thank heavens), very tired but had a blast. I filmed a fifteen-minute walk through the gardens and added it to a playlist of other vids that I filmed earlier this week (wanted to post that sooner, but my mind got hijacked by unwanted ( Read more... )

No hours till the end of the week, so today and the next three days will be writing days. Started some of the edits on the Dunwich Horror thing, which had its due date moved up. I've already cut one scene, which I think the readers will be smart enough to figure out from hints elsewhere, and am working on trimming another bit, also tightening up a ( Read more... )

Work yesterday (Friday) and today (Saturday), and both days crazy. Today moreso, since the store got especially crowded for some reason: we ran out of shopping carts very quickly, and then every time the guys went out to collect them from the lot, they came back with very few because the rest were in use. Also, for some reason, people kept randomly ( Read more... )

Went to Mass at St. Joseph the Worker's Shrine in Lowell since my dad wanted to jet out to Boston quickly. That ended up being not so quick, since I had a window shade fall down from my window, and then I took a tumble trying to put the shade back up: I fell into a pile of plush animals. No one ever fault *anyone* for having a pile of plush animals ( Read more... )

First day back to work, and it was a very tiring one, indeed: Fridays are busy and this one proved no exception. Monday is St. Patrick's Day, so that meant everyone and their brother was getting their fixings for their corned beef and cabbage dinners. Went in wearing my green and white shamrock bedecked felt stovepipe hat and several managers went ( Read more... )

So, delicious.com is changing their format to a rather eye-scalding design, so I decided to close the account I had to hold a bunch of the unwritten fic prompts from several comment fic comms. Just spent part of the evening copy pastaing the lot onto separate entries, which gives me a place to put them (and in some cases give them the beginnings of ( Read more... )

Also known as "Watching Pete's 'Keets". I spent much of Sunday over by Peter S.'s garden/flight cage exhibit, watching the silly birds. He's usually got birds of some kind in his exhibit, but this year he had a large flight cage with doves, quail, pheasants, cockatiels, wood ducks, several different kinds of parakeets, java finches and budgies. The ( Read more... )

Because it's *that* time of the month, owch. I was having a good day at work today, for a change, but then I started feeling crampy and nauseous and achy all over. Ugh ( Read more... )

My dad persuaded my mom to come with us to the Flower Show tonight, the first time we've gone as a family in *years*. He's been saying, "If you miss the Flower Show this year, you've missed the Flower Show ( Read more... )
