Didn't have to go out in the rain (oh look, it's just turned into wet snow... ew) this morning to drive Deb because we couldn't think of any reason I might need the car today, so she took it. Which makes the end of the day nicer too, because I won't have to leave in the middle of anything to go and pick her up, she'll just come home, yay. Not ( Read more... )

It is the kind of day out there where I got home from the grocery store and then literally sat in the car in the driveway for like 15 minutes just in case it might stop raining for long enough for me to bring the recycling bins back from the curb and get the groceries inside before it started again. It didn't, so in the end I got wet anyway. And ( Read more... )

In the update-on-life category, briefly: I am sick with a terrible cold which is making me very very sad and whiny. I got laid off from my job at the restaurant which sucks somewhat, mainly because it was for an incredibly lame family-that-owns-the-place-related reason and had nothing to do with me (I don't really miss the job, but I do really ( Read more... )

It is spring! I've had the windows all wide open every day this week, and I actually have been feeling like cleaning, which only ever happens at this time of year. Have been listening to music (which I don't do often enough in my life as it stands) and puttering away around the house. I did ham for the first time and I taught Geoff to make ( Read more... )

It's winter outside again: wet, thick snowflakes and slushy-slidey streets; not really very cold, but very very white. I'm going to see Into The Woods tonight at White Pines but right now I'm in Deb's office struggling with her Very Foreign-Feeling Keyboard (correcting typos every third word), waiting for Liz to pick me up in just under an hour so ( Read more... )

Things I meant to spend this afternoon doing: writing.

Things I have not spent very much of this afternoon doing at all: writing.

Okay, so writing here is neither fic-writing nor original-book-writing, but it is writing, so... does that count? Wait wait, I know this one! No, it does not. Am I going to do it anyway? Of course.

It's one of ( Read more... )

Hey all - this journal, the journal formerly known as leithal, is now the journal henceforth known as marycontraria. This is a change I've been meaning to make for over a year now, so - yay!

Today my head hurts and payday is good but banks are stupid and the prices at Value Village are getting ridiculous and I need to find my SIN card and I don't want to go to choir.
