My friend Livia is home visiting for a couple of months, before she returns to her job teaching in Thailand.  We were chatting last night, catching up, when she began to affectionately tease me about my love of all things British.  She then proceeds to calmly say..."I really should have introduced you to my British friend Richard when you were ( Read more... )

Someone out there is looking out for me.  I went to work tonight, and due to system issues I got to come home 4 hours early.  Right now I'm at my mom's watching some more Robin Hood, then if it's not too late I'll watch an episode of Sparkhouse before I go to sleep.  I've been having so much fun catching up on all my movies/shows.  For a long time ( Read more... )

I treated myself this morning by staying in bed and watching The Impressionists.  I loved it.  It was fairly obvious I was going to enjoy it, considering it stars Richard Armitage, but I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would.  So much beautiful art!  I love how they encorporated the stories and scenes behind each piece, then showed us the ( Read more... )

I hate these days.  These days when this depression/anxiety seems to creep up on me from out of nowhere,  attempting to smother me with feelings of negativity and sadness.  Days when the mere thought of leaving the house and going to work makes me feel anxious and frustrated.  Days when the only thing that seems fathomable is staying in my 'comfy ( Read more... )

I'm home from work early, due to the sudden onset of a horrible stomach virus I seem to have picked up somewhere.   Symptoms seem to come in spurts, where I'm getting sick for about an hour straight, then I feel fine for an hour or so until it starts up again.

My mom just called, and invited me over for ginger ale and toast, lol.  She told me to ( Read more... )

I'm at work right now, with about 20 minutes left until the end of my shift.  It's also the last 20 minutes before my Christmas vacation!  When I leave I''m off to finish buying stocking stuffers, then to Tori's Christmas skating show, which should be fun and interesting to watch.

I can't believe I'm going to have an entire week off from work.  I' ( Read more... )

I'm calling in late to work this evening due to another agonizing headache.  It's been coming on slowly since this morning and it's starting to hit full force.  I've taken my medication and tried a nap and a cold cloth on my forehead (a combination that usually seems to work) but it just won't go away.  Only one week to go until I get an entire ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been ages since I've posted.  I've been so busy getting ready for the holidays since the end of November.  Everything has been purchased and is now piled in my closet, waiting to be wrapped.  Yesterday I bought everything I need to do my Christmas baking, which I'll start in about a week.  I have the entire week before Christmas off, ( Read more... )

I'm having a really quiet day so far.  Charlie is gone to do some work at the farm, Tori is in bed with a cold, and I am just taking a break from some house cleaning.  I'm actually really frustrated today with the way everything looks, and am brainstorming ways in which I could rearrange the furniture or redecorate.  I'm planning ahead for ( Read more... )
