Various errands today: bank stuff, money to be withdrawn and moved around (new teller at the bank: very cheery and friendly but also very precise; everything one could want in a bank teller!), cans to be cashed in at the store, had to write in my hours (keep fingers crossed that I keep getting a reasonable amount of hours, no more of this cut hours ( Read more... )

Icon should be "You. Out of my house." More rodents rampaging in my walls. Barely got three hours of sleep, and I had to be up early for Mass. The wretched things seem to instinctively know when I need to get up early. Thank heavens Father Rizzo has a loud, penetrating (as he would call it "Sicilian") voice, I had no trouble staying awake. Dad has ( Read more... )

Corpus Christi Mass and procession at Mary Immaculate: one of the parish's beloved former priests, Father Rizzo, has come back for several weeks this summer, as he often does. He's now in a Latin Mass parish in the Sydney, Australia area, where a penfriend of my mother's goes to Mass: talk about a small world ( Read more... )

And I had to work, as I think I mentioned in an earlier entry. Only day this week that I could pick up a few extra hours to keep the week from getting shorted. Sadly, I found I have hours scheduled on next Saturday, but! I have my birthday off, so I'm looking forward to some fun things my dad and I have planned. Specifically, taking our two-person ( Read more... )

Another rough night sleeping: rodents in the wall and my cough getting really obnoxious. Woke up later than I wanted to: I'd wanted to go into Lowell to run a few errands, maybe hit the Chelmsford Library for the first time in a year (they have an awesome collection of graphic novels and art books). Also wanted to get some time in deciphering more ( Read more... )

Spent most of the day curled under my covers, shivering and feverish. Tried to read ("From Dead to Worse", number eight in the Sookie Stackhouse series), but most of the time, I felt too unfocused and out of it to focus on the page. Tried sitting up in front of the laptop, working on the fic that's due for the Romance Novel Summary challenge, but I ( Read more... )

Well, not entirely nothing. I spent the day puttering, and I was in dire need of a day of that, after the way things have been going lately. Took care of bank stuff yesterday: my deposit from Social Security went through, to my relief, though thanks to the government shutdown, there had been a warning that Social Security deposits might be delayed ( Read more... )

Been busy with work (last minute barbecue stuff) and errands and housework (and RP tags), hence the radio silence but at last ( Read more... )

I started watching Person of Interest (yay, People's Choice Award for Best New Drama!) initially because Jim Caviezal, one of the *NON*-embarrassing Catholic actors in Hollywood (I'm looking at *you*, Mel Gibson and Charlie Sheen...), plays one of the main characters, but there are so many reasons why I am an ardent fan of it now: J.J. Abrams and ( Read more... )

I'm likely to amend this list, but here's a handful to be viewed, in addition to the things I'm watching regularly (ie. SPN, Grimm, Castle, and when they start airing again, White Collar, and American Horror Story ( Read more... )
