Two days of errands: yesterday/Thursday I wanted to accomplish more than I did, but I had a minor relapse with this cold; nothing major, I think I just need to swap out my toothbrush, since I did feel a little bit feverish. Still, I managed to take care of fetching my paycheck from last week, cash it and restock some of my vitamins and supplements ( Read more... )

So, due to my illness, I forgot to write in my hours at work for this week. At the same time, I'd had it in the back of my head to take a mental health week, after Christmas and after inventory. So to my relief, when I went in to work Sunday after Mass (noon at St. Joseph's, as we got a bit of a late start due my still not quite feeling like myself ( Read more... )

And a busy day ensued as well: had a dental appointment, just a routine cleaning, nothing drastic. Clean bill of health: no funny spots that needed to be patched up. Got tea at Dunkin Donuts, went to the bank to take care of some bank stuff, went to the dollar store to pick up a few things. Came home and took care of the housework that I had set ( Read more... )

Dental appointment this morning, and since the few sidewalks on Main Street are still largely buried under snow, I decided to take the bus there, which got me there early, but it gave me a chance to read from the Magnificat magazine and, since I tapped into the WiFi from the Thai restaurant next door, to download all my books back onto the Kindle.

Working quite a bit lately: yesterday, had a shift at me job. My folks were going out in the afternoon, so my dad dropped me off an hour before my shift started: had lunch at McDonald's, which gave me a chance to download the rest of the Humble Bundle books; started reading John Scalzi's hilarious "Mallet of Loving Correction", several essays and ( Read more... )

Work tomorrow (Friday), and since weekends are always busy, I took today easy. Worked on a few odd RP tags and a fanfic or two, though typing isn't exactly easy right now since I broke a fingernail on one hand and nearly broke it to the quick, necessitating putting a bandaid on it to protect it as it grows out (and thus this entry may be short and ( Read more... )

Lent started today and it came on like a freight train: depression, anxiety, paranoia on top of today's penances. The snow on the roof and the spate of leaks in the house has me shaken: I almost don't feel safe here in this house and I've lived here all my life. It's like not feeling safe inside your own skin, and that's a feeling I've walked with ( Read more... )

Physical exam today: headed out early (thankfully a bit warmer than it's been lately, so I didn't quite have to bundle up the way I have) on the bus to Lowell to get the bus to Burlington. Brought along Nyarlathotep the Kindle and did a little listening: Finished listening to "Tales from the TARDIS" - a collection of classic era Doctor Who ( Read more... )
