Just so I can have it all in one place, I'm going to make up a wedding DIY to-do list. This list is separate from the things I'm not making myself that need to get done.

• table numbers - pictures of our favourite things?
• seating chart - clothespinned tags on repurposed window frame/mirror/door?
• card box - paint box, spray centre with chalkboard paint ( Read more... )

I apologise in advance for the amount of swearing, but I am too goddamn angry to censor myself right now ( Read more... )

This Christmas doesn't feel much like Christmas to me. I've been working too long and coming home too exhausted and stressed to care much about the season. And I still have so much to do ( Read more... )

I've gotten myself into a terrible sleeping pattern. When I work, I try to go to bed between 9:30pm and 10pm, because it takes me anywhere from half an hour to an hour to fall asleep, and I have to get up the next morning by 8:30am at the latest. I really need 8 hours of sleep (sometimes I think I need a little more, but I take what I can get) ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning rather abruptly, as my father phoned me to let me know some things I had ordered for Christmas for Mike had arrived (I sent them to my parents in case Mike was nosy) and since he was going to be out and about, he would drop them off. Which I appreciate, but I am up early EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK, and this is my one chance to ( Read more... )

It seems like I never post anymore. I honestly can't remember the last time I did. Probably back in August when I got back from my vacation? Well, I've got a brand new computer now, and therefore don't have any more connection issues, so hopefully I can start updating a little bit more regularly. We'll see.

It's quarter after five in the morning, ( Read more... )

It's late, I have to be up in six and a half hours, and I can't sleep. I don't know how it started, but I got thinking about annoying customers at work, and then I started ranting to Mike and then everything snowballed and I started to cry ( Read more... )

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only grown up in this house. Mike has a procedure at the hospital tomorrow morning but is flat out refusing to do any of the prep. He hasn't been taking the medicine they told him to, he's only fasted half the amount of time he's supposed to, and now he's gone to bed saying he doesn't want to talk about it anymore. I ( Read more... )

Today when we woke up, we had no water ( Read more... )

I worked last weekend, and I had intended on posting about my woes here afterward, but I ended up being fairly busy the rest of the week. Last I updated we were expecting a storm on Saturday, so I will pick up there.

It stormed. It wasn't as bad as predicted, and we didn't get as much snow as we were supposed to, but sitting at work by myself and ( Read more... )
