28 December 2006

A good day. (A post to balance all my shouty/whiny posts) [More:]Today I went down to the south end of the island (where everything is, and a hella walk from here). My neighbour was going there too, so she gave me a ride the whole way. I sorted out my postal box and settled my tab at the local bar/cafe. The owner was inordinately grateful; apparently I'm one of the few who does this promptly, so that made me feel good. Then I had a good long walk back to the intersection where my road branches off the 'highway'. Sun on my face, a light breeze in my hair, bird calls and the sound of the wind in the trees. Just as I thought, 'Now this would be a perfect place for someone to give me a ride back,' a nice gentleman stopped for me and gave me a ride all the way to my driveway.

I returned a call from my boss to find out that, woo! I'm working tomorrow! and it'll be a short-ish day! This also means that I'll get paid for that work and the hellacious all-nighter I described earlier, which is perfect timing as my funds are running low, though I have enough of everything to carry me through the next 4-6 days.

Since it was still sunny, I went out and stacked about half of my cord of wood in the shed, singing this little ditty of my own composition (to the tune of 'Spiderman'): Exercise, exercise/It's hard on the back but makes you easy on the eyes.

Now for some Deadwood and laundry sorting, followed by a dinner of ribs n' rice n' veg, and then a long chat with a dear friend.

Sometimes, life is a pretty sweet fruit, my bunnies. How's things with you?
You're easy on the eyes no matter what kind of shape you are in, my dear.

I bought a rice cooker!

I started looking for a new job on Saturday (I think) and already have offers for three or four interviews!

Oh, and the Christmas presents I sent to my family in Denver got there today. A week late, but they have arrived. Yay!

Awww, thanks, mats.

I bought a ham recently, faggot.

Yes, but did you drop it in salt on the way home, LT? Help me out here.

Also, yay, presents arriving! Yay, interviews! Good luck, youngergirl44.

I still have another six days before I have to return to work. Yay! I'm planning to meet up with friends for lunch, and wander around all of my old city haunts (since I work in the 'burbs now).

I'm making pork chops and pesto linguini and watching Criminal Minds with the honey. And relishing my new extension cord, which lets me use my laptop in the den without running outta battery power (jon says he's turned me into a net addict). Few more days of Christmas vacation...

I'm gonna start callin' ya Thoreau, e. : )

Actually, I'm envious. It all sounds so lovely... I love hearin' about your life there.

Me too. It sounds like a little slice of heaven. Except for the dial-up part. :)

Do you have pix up anywhere, elizard?

I'm so glad you enjoy the posts from my corner of paradise :)

Unfortunately I'm still without a digital camera, so haven't been able to post pix of the cabin. Matildaben took some fantastic photos of the island when she was here.

who thought a metaviral video was a good idea? || I fell down the rabbit hole today.
