Feeling a little better than I have the past few days, but still not quite out of the woods. All in good time, it would seem, but it's getting tedious ( Read more... )

Went to the little hole in the wall Barnes & Noble in Lowell this afternoon, and walked in the find the shelves half-stripped. This made me worry that they might be closing, so I asked what was going on. Come to find out that they were in the process of getting a new inventory and so they were thinning some things out. Picked up several classics, ( Read more... )

Just back from a short trip to Lowell, for an appointment with my therapist, and to take care of some bank business. Also had my lunch at Dunkin Donuts: tried their new apple cider -- iced, as it was little warm to have it hot. Tasty! But I have feeling it tastes better when it's warm ( Read more... )

I suspect we're going to have more street flooding, and there is an off chance I may end up missing work tomorrow: there is about six inches of water in my street, but the cars are still getting through it; the sidewalk isn't impassible yet. Yet ( Read more... )

The past few days have been rather full, so I haven't been posting here, and my Tweets have been a bit sporadic: Thank heaven for LoudTwitter and their options for posting your Tweets to your blog.

Much as I keep vampire hours, I try to get up before noon on days that I'm not working, even if that translates to 11.30 a.m ( Read more... )

Went to St. Joe's with my mom for First Friday Eucharistic adoration, Mass and confession. There's a new priest offering the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and he was exactly the priest I needed to talk to. He's very compassionate and open-hearted, and he definitely was listening to what I had to say. He offered some counsel which I needed and wanted ( Read more... )

My hours got trimmed (not exactly cut, but I'm working only two days a week instead of three), but I managed to get on the list of folks to be called in today, in case someone calls in sick. So I'm here at home working on the next NGE fanfic fragment and keeping an ear open for the phone ringing ( Read more... )
