► A few days ago I mentioned that I had ordered the first several volumes in the multi-arc Superman storyline about New Krypton. Early yesterday morning I noticed that others were buying the remaining books on Amazon.ca as the final volume went from having four copies in stock to only two. Since I'm getting paid tomorrow, I decided to just be my ( Read more... )

► Thanksgiving dinner at Dad and Claire's actually went well. Had a nice meal with ham, although I'm still dying to have a real home cooked turkey and gravy dinner (since it's now been a few years). I was given 5 slices of leftover ham and a small tub of mashed potatoes, which I'm looking forward to frying up for supper tomorrow. God, how I ( Read more... )

► Just talked to Dad a little while ago, he's back from his week long golf trip to Pennsylvania. We're not going shopping today as planned since it's already late in the afternoon, and my nerves have been crap since I awoke this morning after less than 3 hours of sleep. Feels like my blood is charged and I just can't settle down. At the moment ( Read more... )

► Tomorrow I'm supposed to go with Dad to my grandmother's house to take down and wash the curtains. Feeling a bit ill and queasy though, and don't really feel like going out. Tuesday's meeting took a lot of the wind out of my sails. Still, it's just to her place and I might feel better in the morning so I guess I should go. I'll just have to ( Read more... )

► Feeling increasingly anxious and depressed. Now that Dad's home I'll have to finally deal with setting up an appointment with my pension caseworker to go over my bills, rent and finances for a full review. This has me terrified even though it's probably just incredibly benignly routine. The problem is I'll likely drag my feet for awhile, ( Read more... )

► Six more days until Dad's return. Thank God.

► Still feeling a bit depressed and down today, but I guess it's not as bad as it's been this week. My mood is improving inch by inch. Although it's not being helped by my bad tooth getting sore again. As the day and evening goes on my one molar is aching more and more. Took a couple of extra ( Read more... )

► And I'm back from house sitting. Eight days of boredom. When I got to the house last Sunday I was surprised to find that they had taken the laptop with them on their trip. That meant I had no internet access, and only had my box of unwatched DVDs to entertain myself. As such I watched no less than 47 movies in 8 days (see below for the full ( Read more... )

► Bit of a disappointing day of waiting. Second day and the landlord or whoever he was sending to fix our fireplace was a no show. Now it looks like I'll have to wait tomorrow in case they show. Guess that means it's unlikely I'll be able to go grocery shopping, and I need fresh bread and buns.

My Red Sonja drawing didn't arrive in the mail ( Read more... )

► Feeling a bit better than I did last night. I think shaving and showering this morning helped a lot, and I've actually started dusting my room for the first time in a shameful while (even managed to better arrange some figures and knick knacks). Still jittery, anxious and feel slightly stunned, but I don't have the same level of crushing ( Read more... )

► Got my World of Warcraft character Redsascha up to level 74 Saturday. The last 4 levels have been really slow going compared to the previous 70. I guess it makes sense, since each new level requires exponentially more experience points than the previous. Might be a couple weeks before I hit level 80. Especially since I find I'm starting to ( Read more... )
