Looks like I'm going to be on call on Friday night from 5pm-1am. That will be after working my full shift. We aren't sure if it's going to be a horribly busy day, or chill quite yet. It could break either way. I kind of hope the night is busy enough I get called in because then I will get lots of overtime. Which doesn't help our overall ( Read more... ) -
Culinary Adventures! Lemon Chicken Stir Fry
My big personal goals right now are to not eat out as much and get my finances firmly back under control. These are because I will eat poorly if given the option of convenience, and I am perfectly capable of feeding myself by cooking. I'm even a decent cook and I like doing it. (though I do not like doing the resulting dishes.) There's no ( Read more... ) -

Othniel has adjusted to the new house. He's gone from following me everywhere, and crying when I was out of sight for any length of time (first night) to refusing to get out of bed, or even wake up, when I was getting ready for work this morning. He woke up enough to be nudged aside so I could get up, and then took my spot and went back to sleep ( Read more... ) -
Once more with feeling!
A few weeks back, I brought my cat Chaplin home for the weekend to see if he would adjust from going from a house with many cats to a house where he is the cat. It did not go very well. Shenanigans ensued, and he was miserable. I took him back home the following Monday morning and he was just so obviously happy to be home. Disappointment ( Read more... ) -

So, the one lead in my downstairs bathroom ceiling seems to be gone. I accidentally left the water on one morning (I've been switching it off at the main unless I was home and genuinely needed it.) and came home expecting a mess in the bathroom. But ... nope. Not so much as a drip. So I left the water on, and I've been watching it. No leak ( Read more... ) -
Still not dead.
So, good things:I'm sleeping better in the new house. Also longer. Without internet, I seem to conk out around 10pm. This is insanely early for me. I also end up waking up around 4am thinking it's time to get up. And then dozing until it actually is ( Read more... ) -

Nothing of note got done over the weekend ... well, other than catching a cold. And finally being able to sleep in my own house ( Read more... ) -

I have discovered the downside of books. Putting them in boxes and then moving them. Parts of me are not very happy right now ( Read more... ) -

I ... have really nothing to say at the moment. Closing on the house tomorrow. Wiring the money today. Trying really hard not to freak out at any point in the process. Also, this will mean I get to stop feeling like I'm absolutely bleeding money. Right? Right ( Read more... ) -

The loan went through! After switching companies, it took them less than a week to go "... there's nothing wrong here. Have a mortgage." So, next Thursday or Friday we'll close, and I'll be able to move into my new house. Scary, y'all. Scary ( Read more... )
