"Ya'll are working too fast," is not something you'd expect to hear your boss say.  Ours said it today and pulled myself and another to work on another project starting tomorrow ( Read more... )

My first audiobook came today.  I wouldn't have bought it but the book itself won't be out for another year!  I know that is the reverse of what is usually done.  Do I want to wait another year?  Not bloody likely!

And for the curious, it is Melting Stones by Tamora Pierce.  She really is a young adult author but I enjoy her work.  I'm ripping the ( Read more... )

I've been reading over the friend list and I think the day was a generally crappy day for everyone on it.  So, I am giving everyone a hug.  I think we all need it.

I can't say my day started out great.  Normally the comics help me feel good for the day.  However, today, two characters died.  One from cancer and the other from old age.  This time ( Read more... )

I finally bought myself an mp3 player.  It's the Zen Stone Plus (what a mouthful!).  Yes, newegg has a rebate going on right now.  Originally, I was going to go with something really large and decked out with features.  Then, I realized, that I didn't need all that.  I just want something to list to my music , and the radio, on that doesn't take up ( Read more... )

Well, I can feel everything clearing up.  I'm coughing up gobs of snot but it is productive coughing.   I'll try to not get sick again for a long time.  Being sick is definitely unpleasant.

Sleeeeeeeeep.  Sleeeeeeeeeep.

Upstairs (bedroom floor) ac isn't working properly.  Hasn't for a couple of days.  Have to sleep with door wide open to get any air.  Tossed and turned all night.  I probably shouldn't say this but I hope that I don't have to start working until tomorrow.

Is is  possible to catch another cold just weeks after recovering from one?  Really, does anyone know ( Read more... )

Well, today seems to be the generally accepted day to encourage lurkers to say hi.  So, say "hi!"  *waves*

An interesting thing happens to me every year.  Some time come August or September (occasionally later but no much), I wake up and say to myself, "It feels like fall."   Well, that happened today.  Doesn't matter that it is 90+ out, it feels ( Read more... )

Yay!  I no longer feel like a mucus factory.  AND.  I no longer feel like I am going to cough a lung out.  'Tis a wonderful feeling.

That is all.

You may or may not remember me mentioning the battles we had with taking the wallpaper down.  Well, it is long gone and we took the wise route and had someone install the wall paper for up.  It looks very, very nice.  The bathrooms seem much bigger now.  And they echo more.  Some work still needs to be done, like repainting the cabinets and ( Read more... )
