In addition to being a long day, today is also turning out to be a bad one. There's been a streak of good days, so I suppose this was coming. Some of it was best laid plans going awry, some of it is life getting in the way. All I can say is thank God 12:10 mass got out earlier than anticipated, and thank God the day is going by relatively ( Read more... )

Stress at home is far outweighing stress at work, even on this Cathedral Christmas week. It's nothing that I can write about, because I don't even know where to begin. I'm trying very hard not to let it show, but I know it's coming out in little ways ( Read more... )

Never thought I'd say that. Kendra put four shots in today (fourth for free...she's quite awesome), and they've all settled to the bottom. I just drank a good mouthful of tepid espresso. Not exceptionally tasty ( Read more... )

Official move has been put off to Thursday post-work due to the need to put another coat of polyurethane (or however you spell that idiot word) on all the floors. This is fine, because I woke up late and then screwed around all morning rather than getting myself ready to officially be out of the apartment ( Read more... )

I left my keys in Lowell's car last night. I only discovered this when he called at nine this morning to tell me. This resulted in a half hour trip to the metra downtown, an hour wait for the next train, and a forty-five minute train ride to Northbrook where Lowell works to get said keys. Next came a quick turn-around for the next metra train, ( Read more... )

Too much going on today. Have a few phone calls to make, a few gigs to confirm, and a short meeting to attend. I also need coffee. Like, desperately. I think that will be taken care of when the quartet for this evening starts rehearsing ( Read more... )

Today is an off day. I think Thursdays tend to be. I am overly eager to not be at work. Like, so much so that, did I not really need the money for bills, I would find some way to leave work sick or fakely so. Between a work related dream I had and some issues with people here and elsewhere, this is the last place I want to be right now ( Read more... )

Lots to do today, but it won't take more than a few hours. Some of it is stupid, some of it is necessary. My boss is at his micromanaging best as of late, and it's driving me up the wall. I definitely messed something up with a wedding this weekend, but I personally don't think it means I should have my every move watched over and checked up on ( Read more... )

Though November is just as busy a month as December or May as of late, I think I'm still going to try my hand at NaNo again this year. I broke 10k last year, and felt very accomplished. I was proud of everything I wrote. Now I just need to think of something new. I've been toying with a few ideas, but will need to have something concrete set ( Read more... )
