Folks got up late this morning for some odd reason, thus we ended up going to Mass at St. Joe's in Lowell: just as well, as my insides have been a mess and kept me awake (girl problems: at least the crippling depression and mood swings appear to have gone AWOL, and good riddance, as I do not need that kind of guff about now ( Read more... )

Various errands today: bank stuff, money to be withdrawn and moved around (new teller at the bank: very cheery and friendly but also very precise; everything one could want in a bank teller!), cans to be cashed in at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... )

Thunderstorms rattling through the area since the late afternoon: a tornado warning got issued for Billerica, though no reports that any showed up so far as I know ( 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... )

Went to the library tonight: dropped off the darn House of Night books I'd taken out last time. Honestly, HoN is one of those stories that has some interesting world building (Vampyres as a sub-species of humans, who can do magick? Awesome! Your awakening coming about at puberty? Yeah, that works.) but it also has some huge misses (Having a sooper- ( Read more... )

A bit warm today, so after Mass this morning, I spent the day chilling and reading: Started reading Aphrodite Jones's "The Embrace", a true crime novel dealing with a case of vampirism and murder involving some teenagers in Florida who got way in over their heads with the whole vampire lifestyle thing. Now, as a mild energy feeder myself, I'm the ( Read more... )

I've been erratic about posting lately, due in part to Reading A Lot of Books Lately and Watching a Lot of Things Lately and to having erratic sleep patterns caused by critters. The woodpecker has been up to his tricks, hammering on the white trim of our house (which my dad has recently just repainted). I've been sticking my head out the window or ( Read more... )
