Dreamt that I was shaving my legs and the little hairs on my knee were all coming in gray.

I've been tired and slightly hurpish since last weekend.  While I'm inclined to say that PMS is the reason, my nausea might also stem from the current conflict in Gaza.  As of this morning the death toll read Palestinians: 360 and Israelis: 5.  While the US ( Read more... )

This morning I was a good responsible person and did my journal-type writing. My creative outlet for the week will be baking a cranberry pie tonight. My self flagelation will be with this keyboard for still not getting cracking on my fiction writing. Bad, bad Gerri ( Read more... )

Poor Granny spent the weekend, including her birthday, in the hospital with a fever.  What a shitty way to spend your birthday.  Although she was in good company.  While we were visiting, she and her little old lady roomie bonded by trashing the nursing staff.

The Eat Your Face in Effigy challenge has been stymied by the hobby shop.  They did not ( Read more... )

Have I mentioned that Fatticus likes boxes?  Boyfriend spent the evening lifting his tubby majesty into a 12" high box so the Ham Sammich wouldn't have to exert himself.  Repeatedly.  He lifted the cat into a 12 inch box repeatedly.  Sure, I cut a window into the box so Fatticus could see out; but its not like he could do that on his own ...

Since when did stirrup pants make a comeback?!?  I saw a pair of them lurking around the subway this morning.  Eeep!

In other news, I'm completely disjointed today.  Actually, I've been quite out of whack for the past few days.  It might be the holiday season and all the hubbub that goes along with it.  It might be that I've fallen off my careful ( Read more... )

Right this moment, as I type these words, I should be getting a colonoscopy.  Heh.  Gerri - 2  GI doc - 1.

Woo!  Pecked out 3400 wee willy winky words for NaNo last night.  Mostly because Winky goaded me into action.  She's right; not exercising and not studying for my one college course does seem to take up a lot of my free time.  Huh.  Of course I ( Read more... )

What an interesting week.  Let's review shall we?

1. Arguing has been suspended, peace has returned, an outside adviser has been engaged for next week.

2. Had a blast meeting creative types over gelato and arts and crafts at the NaNoWriMo Kick Off in Center City.  I am delighted to finally be motivated toward something I've felt passionate about my ( Read more... )

I spent this past weekend nailed to the couch, drooling on myself.  No, literally.  Boyfriend did a good job of taking care of me, making me Theraflu, bringing me juice, and at least forcing me to glimpse sunshine on Sunday.  Plus he didn't laugh too loudly when I stumbled around in a Benadryl induced delirium on Friday night.

Wow, I haven't been ( Read more... )

I finished my NaNoWriMo outline.  It was supposed to be a romance, but when I was finished it was more thriller/horror.  There was just no room for the lubs.  Poor lubs.  Bobface has decided to join me on my mission.  I knew I could depend on Franbo to beat him into submission!  Whee!

My throat is hitting new lows of skritchy-ness.  How the fuck is ( Read more... )
