New addition to our place, tiny kitten of cute named Iris. Who isn't so awfully tiny anymore that I worry I'm going to crush her (when we got her) delicate bird bone rib age. Now I'm worried she is going to run in between my legs when I am walking (again) and I am going to fall on her and crush her. Haven't yet, but we are still working on " if you ( Read more... )

Oh god, they just got phone service to us (and thus internet access, since we're DSL). I've been fine...ish, but now I feel like I just got air after being stuck in increasingly stuffy room. and speaking of rooms, not going to bore you with the (ever growing) list of work done and to do on the new place. New mantra - It's going to be sweet. But it' ( Read more... )

I went to the YMCA today, since my goal is to get -some- exercise every day while I am off. Yesterday I did an easy 15 minutes (at about 2 mph) on the treadmill. Today I decided to push myself up to 20 minutes, and without my heartrate getting into the red, I still got over 3 mph, and managed a mile in 22 minutes ( Read more... )

My work is not busy, which means I am busy trying to get things done that I can't when the phone is ringing and email beeping at me. Which also means very low patience for people coming up and wanting me to do things RIGHT NOW, cause things aren't busy. Or sit and talk to me, when I've got an experiment going and am in the middle of an email. Arrgh ( Read more... )

Snowpocalypse January 2011!! No, not really all that bad. Okay, the grocery stores were busy yesterday, and sold out of fennel in the two stores I went into specially and specifically looking for it. I don't understand this city. Got everything else just fine. The lines were a little long, but my main problem was I was worn out from dealing with ( Read more... )

So,I took a long and unplanned break from LJ. Most of this was due to work - the combo of them blocking this site (along with an increasingly bizarre list: Things Organized Neatly doesn't seem like it would be worth the effort to block, but I am sad I can't get that 5 seconds of visual serenity each day. Well, who am I to question the PTB? / ( Read more... )

I couldn't remember my password to LJ. After work blocked months ago it I haven't taken the time to look at it at home ( Read more... )

Just finished changing the cat litter. And putting up decorations. We aren't going to talk about the shopping ( Read more... )

Dirty little secret time - I haven't been to the dentist in over ten years. More likely 15. Finally I made Alsafi make the appointment for me, because I continued to never get around to it. Good news, only 2 cavities, but I -have- to start flossing. Meh. Still, much, much, much better than the root canals, etc I was freaking out I might have to get ( Read more... )

I've had it. I have too much on my todo, wanttodo, mightsomedaydo lists. Between feeling like my life is overwhelmed by stuff, and not being able to find the camera on Halloween (which was tragic, as we dressed up Friday and Saturday), and the Unclutter.com website coming out with a book, I am inspired. Frighteningly so ( Read more... )
