I think I've caught you up on the major happenings of the last few months.  On to the daily minutiae, without which LiveJournal would not exist ( Read more... )

Sleepy, sleepy, sleepy this morning.  I went and met my dad for an unexpected dinner last night, as he was in the area on business again, then I stopped for some incredibly-needed grocery shopping on the way home.  They closed my Kroger!  Okay, yes, I haven't been grocery shopping since February, but still.  It was startling.  I think I am a Meijer ( Read more... )

I'm in South Carolina!  Where it snowed last night for the first time since 1995!  ::headdesk ( Read more... )

Owie owie owie owie owie owie.  My feet are still soft and I've hit the "blisters on my blisters" stage.  Where the hell are my calluses already?  ::limps to car, attempts to drive home using route with fewest stoplights requiring constant pressure on the brake pedal ( Read more... )

[Friday]

AWESOME.

I've been at the airport for four hours now, and our plane hasn't even arrived.  The delay is such that the plane for the next flight to Minneapolis has arrived, and they're letting everyone on the 4:50 flight have it, and keeping us 2:30 people waiting for the next  plane.  We're already screwed over, might as well keep us that ( Read more... )

Thursday:Things continue to go well.  We (and I use the term loosely, as my part mostly consisted of shoving boxes to the end of the moving truck) unloaded the entire truck by 9:00 am this morning and returned it to Penske.  The Emperor is truly a rockstar.  It is dreadfully hot and humid and I'm a little depressed that I have actually moved ( Read more... )

Why can't I just enjoy it?  Why can't I just notice that I've been in a fairly good mood for several days and think, "Oh, that's nice" instead of "Wow, what's the bad thing that's going to wreck it this time?"

Seriously, things are good right now:

• I seem to have recovered from the Relationship Drama of the last several weeks (go Team Communication ( Read more... )

The Fam (Mom, Sister, Niece) has left for Minnesota again.  Sigh.  It's so great to see them, and so hard to let them go.  The Niece (who is 4 years old now) gave me a long hug and told me soberly, "I'm going to be sad when you're gone."  Oh honey, me too!

We packed a lot into the weekend, though.  We started with lunch at Ella's Deli (The Niece ( Read more... )

Back in town, safe and sound.  Did not embarass self playing flute during ceremony.  Did not give self any new blisters dancing at this particular wedding reception.  Was part of a Grand March that was actually a long conga line, led by the bride, composed of wedding guests sporting crayon-illustrated construction paper "beards" on popsicle sticks ( Read more... )
