Bit busy and up and down: my sinuses have started acting up sporadically, due to seasonal pollen, and I've had a few rough nights sleeping. Also have been keeping busy with work at the Job and work at home, getting to the housework I wasn't able to get to because of the Job. Been reading a lot during my downtime: I've been re-reading the ( Read more... )

Rain moved in today, and that sent the picketers -- "the Market Basketeers" as my dad is calling them -- inside, though as we three went to Mass today (before the sky turned grey), we drove right by them and saw them in full force. The store parking lot looked as abandoned as it has all week: I went in, come the late afternoon and I had gone for a ( Read more... )

Finally tracked down a reliable streaming vid of Person of Interest's season finale and I'd intended to watch only the first ten minutes that I'd missed, but I ended up getting pulled into rewatching the whole episode. Still a bit painful to watch (I'm almost ashamed to admit this, since I try not to let fictional stuff affect me too deeply. Hope ( Read more... )

For once, though, it's good things ( 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... )

A quiet day today, and I needed it after all the busy-ness and errand-running and with all the tiredness I've had to deal with because of same and because of lingering post-illness tiredness. I think it's finally letting up, though it might just be the amount of green tea I've been drinking as a countermeasure to ye tired. Spent much of the day ( Read more... )

Been chilling a bit the past few days, plus I had work on Friday (slow morning, then crazy in the afternoon: people doing their Christmas shopping early, then getting in their regular food shopping). Thanksgiving day was refreshingly quiet; we three went out to Cracker Barrel for dinner that evening. During the day, I went for a walk to mail some ( Read more... )

I've had a lot on my mind this week, hence the lack of entries beyond Twitter digests. For one thing, there's a Lonely Prompts Challenge over on "fic_promptly", and while I'm not the most inspired this week, I'm pecking away at a few things. Now that the group has brought in another moderator to help out, it seems they're doing their Lonely Prompts ( Read more... )

Despite the rain we've had, my allergies are acting up royally, which made work a little difficult yesterday, plus, I was working an early evening shift, on a Friday night. Yeah, a bit of a pile-up ( Read more... )
