(back in pennsylvania, and the lack of updates was because i was too busy and having too much fun to actually open my laptop long enough to write. also tonight i saw the latest star wars movie and utterly wrecked me, which was not at all the reaction i was expecting to have, so i'm just going to go to bed right now)

I have made it to Toronto! I left this morning around 8:30 and arrived at about 3:30, and I am so glad I didn't travel yesterday: almost all of my route was snow-covered, and it was clear folks in western New York were still shoveling out from yesterday's snowfall. I am pretty sure some places got a foot or more, judging by the mounds I glimpsed on ( Read more... )

It snowed today, less than an inch but enough to turn everything gloomy and grey. I did not venture outside; I barely left my room. Sometimes, I have headaches.

I'm afraid I didn't do very much yesterday, either, besides finish the third season of Black Sails and then go to work. The evening shift is different now, with it getting dark so soon and ( Read more... )

Hello yes, I am tired but that is nothing unusual (*resists looking at the time*). Otherwise I am okay -- I sat on a bench outside the library today and people-watched, because it felt like a compromise between laying in bed watching TV and going around Being Active. I saw a person wearing a black leather jacket and rainbow hair -- rainbow! hair ( Read more... )

Hello readers, I am very tired & headachey tonight so this isn't much of an entry, but today I sat on the floor at the shelter and pet a dog for like five minutes, that was pretty great.

- There is a cat at the shelter right now named Squishy Pickle. I think he came with that name ( Read more... )

Somehow a whole month has gone by? Oops.

Here is the news in brief:

- Survived dogsitting Mia, by which I mean when Mia's human person asked if I wanted her to take over my shelter shift the morning after she'd returned, the morning after I'd finished watching Mia, I immediately said, Omg yes please- I've been working my way through the money I ( Read more... )

I get up early enough now to watch the sun peek through the trees, out past the kitchen window. I'm still adjusting to the timing of the rest of my day: how to fill the time in a good way, instead of just languishing until bedtime. (Bedtime is earlier now, too.) Sometimes I do languish. Today I did. But yesterday I biked up to the library and ( Read more... )

Hello! A quick update to say I'm doing well; I'm still trying to figure out what to put where in my pint-sized room (i need more things with drawers! or shelves!); and my alarm goes off in less than 8 hours. Adjusting to a morning shift at the shelter will not get the best of me, but it is taking some time to get used to ( Read more... )

It was somewhat slightly less warm today! As I was hosing off outdoor kennels at work, it occurred to me that, with the breeze, it was even almost pleasant. Amazing ( Read more... )
