And now sleeping brain is back to "being dumped" and "on the subway without a mask" and "being dumped while on the subway not wearing a mask".

For fuck sake, brain.

On the plus side I was taking the subway to visit my Guelph peeps, so that part was nice. They were kind enough to lend me a bathrobe because I forgot to wear pants.

To be fair, the ( Read more... )

Last night I had not one, but two dreams about being buried under collapsing buildings.

There goes my subconscious, being entirely unsubtle again. This entry was originally posted at https://the-siobhan.dreamwidth.org/541835.html. There are

I keep thinking "Oh it's been about a week since I last posted, I should update with something" and then I look at my account and a month has gone by.

Time is from the Before Times. Or something. Not that I was ever good at updating before, mind you.

The Gin Palace has been re-organizing a bit - I have some of my mother's new furniture, we have set me up with a permanent office upstairs away from the cats, and we have given away Carlin's old tank. So it made sense to shuffle the furniture around and try to find a configuration that works a little better in the space we have.

And since we're ( Read more... )

I was sitting at my desk yesterday and something big buzzed by my head. I lost track of it until later when I was in the bathroom and happened to raise my eyes to the top of the door. Not a great position to be in when one discovers that something very large and spiky is sitting there watching you. (At least I wasn't asleep this time?)

So last night ( Read more... )

It occurs to me that if one is using the singular "they" to refer to a non-binary or intersexed individual, the proper way to construct an English sentence would be to also use the third person singular noun. For example, "They is absent today."

Can't quite get the hang of doing it.

Old habits, old dogs, something something. This entry was ( Read more... )

Yesterday Axe & I signed our separation agreement.

This won't really change anything other than having to dump an entirely stupid amount of money on legal fees to draw up a formal property agreement so we don't have to move. We're still partners but more in the "best friends who are roommates" sense than the romantic relationship sense and it's been ( Read more... )

"I have an exam today and I forgot to study" anxiety dream has apparently been supplanted by "I'm on a crowded city street and I forgot my mask at home" anxiety dream. I've been getting them a couple of times a week - last night I was at a birthday party inexplicably being held on a street corner.

I spent the first couple of months of the pandemic getting by with bandanas because why spend money if you don't need to. (I got an enormous kick out of sporting the Red Dead Redemption look at the bank, I gotta tell yah.) But since this looks like it's going to be a long term thing, I've decided to start collecting a few masks as well. If nothing ( Read more... )

Cross-posting to LJ has been broken for a while and I'm just now getting around to doing something about it. So we'll see if this works.

Basement DJ was sick for about three days and then recovered completely. His test came back negative so at this point we're thinking it wasn't Covid. My plan is to get re-tested next weekend and visit the old man ( Read more... )
