but what's the truth? I don't seem angelic.
Winter meant a trip to New England. Unfortunately I did not properly balance time in Hanover with time with old friends, and I was working most of the break. I did get to see some people, though! Then off to NJ for the New Year. Got stymied by weather this time so didn't see Shirley.
Mike and John's mom made a terrifying amount of cookies as usual. We gave Winnie Northgate Umbreon so he can be wicked skeptical of goings-on in Hanover. Caught up with John's relatives over Christmas, a quiet day with Mike and Catherine. Lovely. Worked through New Year's Eve and saw old friends, solved puzzles, knitted, chatted.
At my house in NJ I got to see all my relatives, met Michael's girlfriend, and caught up with everyone else. Our day in NYC resulted in looking at ancient maps, a trip to McNulty's, some fake meat for lunch, and puttering around Rockefeller's Pokemon Center. The snow led to puttering around in it quietly on a cold walk.
Coming home to a clean house was an excellent idea. I am now jet lagged in the best way- able to wake up at eight in the morning. I miss my mom already.
I've been learning CodeIgniter and working on a webapp to tag all my video games with things like "rpg", "nis america", "nolan north", "tales", etc. I have a singing lesson scheduled Wednesday, right after the therapist. I don't really know where I'm going with that except to open things up.
I tried buying a computer from Lenovo and it rejected my payments from four different sources four times. So I bought a Toshiba instead because it seems Lenovo doesn't want my money.
