I don't regret it -- Mom enjoyed the hell out of it, and it was by way of being a late Mother's Day gift (since the company mailing offering the free tickets went out about that time in May). We got a free dinner, and I put half a foot onto a sock while ignoring the game, and I don't regret going. I just wish I'd managed to fit in my computer ( Read more... )

So Mom's decided to keep giving Grandma her weekly bath on Wednesdays, since she gets off work early enough to get there around the same time she was arriving when she was unemployed and had all day to do it in. She's tired, coming home from work like that, but at least that means it's one less thing she'd find herself doing on the weekends. And ( Read more... )

Last night I had the house to myself for hours since Mom was off tending to Grandma, so I read. Several things. And opened quite a few others that I thought I wanted to read, but they turned out to be WIPs (and containing less chapters than I knew had been posted, because it turned out I hadn't downloaded the version with the most-recently-posted ( Read more... )

So last night Mom was over at Grandma's again when I got home. Which meant I had a nice quiet house to read in while having dinner -- which was handy, since Rupert has reached the stage at which ALL FOOD MUST BE HIS, so now he's climbing up on tables trying to stick his nose into our plates when we eat. Having a book or Kindle (in a folding case ( Read more... )

So, let's see. Zipped out of work Friday afternoon as soon as they turned us loose so I could get home, stuff Rupert the kitten into a carrier, and get him to the animal clinic by 4:15. Made it in ample time -- actually had twenty or thirty minutes to chill at home before leaving -- and got him to the vet's. He got his feline distemper shot, and ( Read more... )

Last night I wound up sitting around reading all evening -- well, once I got myself up off my bed after the initial collapse upon arrival. Got ten rows onto the Ginkgo Shawl, a definite result -- though I kept reading after that point, and then lost some time on the computer shuffling a few files around and reburning my car CD-RW. Not in bed till ( Read more... )

Another night of misjudging my ability to stay awake long enough to finish reading the story I'd begun while getting ready for bed, and falling asleep with the lights on. Didn't wake up till nearly 5am. Unhelpful. At least I'd tended the bunnies and brushed my teeth first.

Got home and had a quick dinner, then tended the bunnies (giving them food and fresh water, and instructing Mom to close them into the cage in a few hours), brushed my teeth, and decided to try putting just four rows onto my stocking before sacking out (that being how far away I was from finishing an entire pattern repeat for the day). This was ( Read more... )

So I wound up going to bed around 6am yesterday morning and sleeping till past noon. (Actually, till around 10:30, then rolled over and went back to sleep for a bit.) Got up and showered and had lunch and then spent the afternoon and early evening in front of the TV watching DVDs and knitting stocking ribbing. Mom got home and wanted to watch ( Read more... )

Up too late again last night, due to spending several hours on the computer when I should have been in bed. Ah, well -- at least I get to sleep in tomorrow, as late as I want to. (Unfortunately, I'm also going to probably have to mow the lawn tonight when I get home from work, as the price of getting a lazy day tomorrow. And then presumably hit ( Read more... )
