This started out as a good day. I sat in bed manically *gleaning* through a stack of oldish magazines (my new project -- more later*), while H *talked* to himself and rolled all over his room (he has mastered rolling -- both directions! -- despite an old PT saying she didn't think it was a "realistic goal"). When I finally went in there he had made ( Read more... )

Tonight is my last standing date with the cheap nightime babysitter I found on Craig's List last year. She's moving out of the neighborhood. I was good to go when she arrived, but had no plans. So far I've hit the Goodwill, done my grocery shopping and now, instead of going to a movie, I decided to go to my office and catch up on LJ! Don't worry ( Read more... )

I haven't had time to write much between being sick, taking care of a sick kid, and visiting my sick Granny. Oh and running the shop and trying to peddle the god damned 4500 copies of Crap Hound I've got towering over me ( Read more... )

One of the many benefits of sleeping alone is that there is plenty of room in bed for books. The sheets are clean, the pillows are mine all mine, and nobody is bothered by having the light on. Lately I've been grabbing a random stack before bedtime to leaf through until I nod off. Here is my current pile ( Read more... )

Just a quick shout out to all of my live journal ladies! I worked today, but don't feel too sorry for me -- I lolled around until after noon and then strolled into the store and announced I was hungry and promptly left for lunch! I came back, sat down and wrote a dozen checks that ate up all my glittery xmas moolah, but it feels good to be more ( Read more... )

This morning I woke up at 4am on the couch with the TV on. I ate a couple of cookies* and stumbled up to bed, where my eyes set upon my new boxset of His Dark Materials. I started reading the Golden Compass until it began to get light out and then went back to sleep. I feel slightly altered today, between the fantasy and the exhaustion, things don' ( Read more... )

I miss my livejournal ladies! I've been off-line at home since late November and have no time at work to keep up let alone write. However, since I've barely accomplished anything today why start now? I just worked my way back three pages to the last post I had read and now a quick note from me ( Read more... )

I spent far too much time crafting the perfect craigslist *room for rent* ad tonight. There's a lot of competition and this is a bad time of year for renting rooms. When in doubt, alliterate! I still prefer craigslist over any other place to post but the signal to noise ratio is rapidly deteriorating ( Read more... )

Today was day two of no baby's daddy, no childcare and no pre-school. This morning I had to haul H down to the store in order to finish our X-mas window display and shelve the dozens of totally rad kids' books we got in on Wednesday. Of course people showed up before we were even open and wanted a piece of me. It took two hours. H was placated by ( Read more... )
