► Huge shock as Dean didn't go in to work today and will likely miss the rest of the week. Five weeks down the toilet. Yeah, this isn't going to cause any problems...

► Interesting bit of news around the apartment. I think I've mentioned that just over a year ago new people bought the former fruit distribution building across the street from ( Read more... )

► My mood seems to be better today. I don't know why it is, but I'm feeling a bit more optimistic and hopeful. Dean has seemed better today so that's helped. Hoping she's well enough to return to work on Monday and dig out of this spiral she's been in. I know she can do it if she pushes herself and doesn't give up.

► Woo momma! It's been really hot and humid today, and apparently it's going to be much, much worse tomorrow. I think it's supposed to be some massive heat wave coming up from the south. Fun times ( Read more... )

► About an hour and a half ago I was standing in the front room writing a message for Dean regarding a phone call, when I heard a firetruck siren. As the sound got louder I jokingly thought to myself "I hope they're not coming here". Finishing the note, and still hearing the siren, I glanced out the door to out deck and saw that the truck was ( Read more... )

► So I'm trying to pay off my moderately sizable credit card balance, and I need to be careful and frugal with my money this month. Especially since there are still 4 weeks left in June. Of course that can mean only one thing: I bid on a drawing of a curvy Jean Grey, in her panties and sweater, eating ice cream.

► Still having trouble sleeping this week. Just general anxiety I guess.

► I'm watching The Muppet Show: Season 1 and I'm amazed at how much I don't remember from the first season. For example, the different opening (the theme is the same, but the stage is different). The biggest surprise, however, is how different most of the famous Muppets' voices are from what they would eventually be the next year, and forever ( Read more... )

► I was hoping maybe I could push myself today and that my stomach would be fine enough to go out this afternoon despite having eaten supper yesterday. Woke up with a bloated aching stomach. It was nothing severe, just mild cramping, but enough to be setting off my nerves. I guess I'll have to wait until Saturday after all ( Read more... )

► On Friday Dean told me that next weekend we're babysitting Max and Abby, our 5 year old nephew and 2 year old niece. It will be nice to see the kids since I haven't seen them since Christmas time. That said, I'm always a bit skittish about babysitting them here at the apartment. Mostly I worry because I don't feel comfortable with the kids ( Read more... )

► Ah, DHL Global, you never change. At 8:50am this morning I went to check our front door. When I opened it 2 packages fell into the room on my feet. It's my order from Poster Revolution. My door sized Rocketeer poster was in a cardboard tube, and my 3 tin signs were in an over-sized paded envelop. That's 1 order arrived out of the 4 I placed ( Read more... )
