So, there's actually been stuff happening that I haven't been posting about. *gasp* No real reason why, other than me being busy getting ready for my trip to Canada and then being on said trip! But in the wake of the deaths of a family friend, my cat, and my employee in early summer, I took some actions - work-related and personal life-related.

I've been home for about fifteen minutes, after being out more than twelve hours, holy shit. Went to see Half Blood Prince in the late afternoon, which was very good. Went for a couple of drinks afterwards. Ran into some of K's friends at that pub; they and she talked me into accompanying them to a different pub for 'one more drink'. Heh. Met some ( Read more... )

What was meant to be a quick check of my f-list before getting ready to leave the house and go do things has turned into an unexpected crying jag after reading kylecassidy's post about Stephen Wells dying. I wasn't ( Read more... )

I grew up in one house; the first time I moved in my entire life was when I left to go to university. In the 16 years since then, I've moved 10 times. I was also frequently packing for the weekend for the years in which I lived in Kingston and would go home for every major holiday. I've basically been in some state of flux since that first move and ( Read more... )

I feel slightly better today. Still hacking up a lung, but my head does not feel on the verge of exploding due to sinus pressure, so that's an improvement. :P I'm going to repeat the "dose, sleep" cycle shortly since tomorrow will be an early day. (There will not, however, be porn this time. Sorry ( Read more... )

Procrastination through posting, gotta love it. :P I need to tidy/clean the disaster area that my living room became through the Christmas preparation process, and yes it does need to be done today because the cable guy's coming tomorrow so he needs to be able to like, walk to the TV and get in behind there. LOL. Which means temporarily moving my ( Read more... )

Picture for today: ( a proper autumn maple tree! )

I did indeed think of a costume, which actually is sort of courtesy of leighrowena because someone recently mentioned the Zombie March that happens in Boston, and Marisa and I almost went to the last one since it happened to be the weekend I was staying with her. (We opted for Egyptian tomb puzzles, shopping and barbecue instead, heh.) BUT I'd unearthed the ( Read more... )

It is an entirely unpleasant day outside. The torrential downpour seems to have finally quit but the 80 km/h winds are still very much present and it's just grey and dark. I'd considered curling up on the couch with a book for the afternoon but my couch is currently occupied by the four-footer, who is a giant suck and has one throw underneath and ( Read more... )
