Lovely visit with J. today. We figured it had been two years, but I'm now thinking maybe it might have been a little less, as we were at my Cos's place when Lovely stopped by. Or is that still two years ago? *sigh* Time passes... and J. even lives in the same state ( Read more... )

 Harrrumf!

Mother Nature is being a spoilsport; it's raining out. Pfft. This will make pictor-taking a bit of a chore for me (I pretty much suck at holding my camera still whilst trying to keep an umbrella from blowing away or toinking me on my head), driving is a bit less enjoyable because of the crazy drivers that don't take care on slick roads ( Read more... )

 I conked out unexpectedly, yet again... and am once again wide-eyed and thinking "Oh, yes, of course I should go try to do this this and this, and then I should do this, because I don't have to be to work again until tomorrow morning at 10am, and  this gives me plenty of time..." Eh, what? It's 11pm. Granted, I did fall asleep for several hours (I ( Read more... )

 Holy Crap! No, really-- Holy Crap!

I had a very horrible "Oops" many months ago with my old computer, and it kept on crashing hard & not recovering very well. I am a technotard, so I had no idea what I was/should have been doing... I finally successfully transferred some data to a web-based account, prior to its final crash, only to lose password ( Read more... )

I think I've fallen into a peculiar episode of The Twilight Zone, where I am surrounded by things that are British-- yet I am most assuredly still in MinneSnowTa.

British books, British music, British food (OK, Spotted Dick sounds like something that's supposed to make you choke on the inuendo, but I looked up the recipe & it souds quite good), ( Read more... )

 Holy Samuelson Hill...

I am so excited, I could just explode. Even if it turns out that "things" don't work quite right, just the mere thought of the possibility of doing it makes me a jumping bean. Oh, yes, sorry-- I worked with J. today, and I gave her crap about not telling me how beautiful Oxford is, and how she should give me a tour of her ( Read more... )

  It's leftover pasta and coffee for breakfast, for me. Yummm, feel the power of pasta.

Today feels like my internal seasonal shift is getting closer to becoming complete. I slept better, and my back feels twitchy but not painful. Hooray!

My mom called this morning. It was the second time we've talked since she left for Florida back in January. ( Read more... )

 Pppfffft.

Today went quick, thank goodness. I got to work with my lovely English coworker J. Every time we're on a shift together (pretty rare, these days), we end up blathering on about British men. She's been away from home for a while, now (I can't remember what city she said she's from, but it's not London Oh Yes I Can! Oxford. I love my brain ( Read more... )
