three point status update 1) OMG KITTY!!! ^→[More:]
2) My other half re-mapped caps lock to a ctrl key, making shouting annoying!
3) I got a lot of cleaning done today! Sorted out miscellaneous oddments of clothes and THE GADGET CORDS!!
woowoo! re. kitty though - you see that plaster on the handler's finger? I bet that's got something to do with Mr Cute.
1. Tired. Working too much and neglecting mr alto. Will cook him nice dinner tonight to try and make up for this
2. Need lightbulbs
3. Been living in this house 10 months now and still haven't sorted out my office. Doesn't stop me working in it, though.
1. I need to start my housework. This place looks as if a bomb's hit it. How, I don't know. There's only me and the cats here.
2. After I've cleaned the kitchen and put the chicken on to roast, I'm going to sort out my shoes. There are many pairs I haven't worn in ages that can go to charity or the tip.
3. Counting the days, just can't wait, until my holiday. A few days in NYC, then upstate to Woodstock, then back to NYC.
1. MuddDude returns home today, after conquering Dayton and most of Cinncinatti.
2. I'm tired.
3. There are these really big, scary spider building giant webs all over the outside of my house. I've been trying to get a decent picture, but the dudes are scary.
1. No bunnystock. :-(
2.One of the staff at the gym shoved a towel in my face when it was clear I already had one, was reading, and had music on. I was not fucking acting like I wanted to be approached. STOP HARASSING WOMEN, PENDEJO!
3.It's been two days and Home Depot still hasn't gotten back to me about the delivery of the washer and dryer.
1. Work work work work work.
2. I really should do all those housey-things I've been putting off- laundry, groceries, etc.
3. Only been 2 days, and my skin looks so much better already! Thanks Dr. Nicolaides.
1. Already through two cups of coffee this morning
2. Can finally walk semi-normally after Sunday's bout with yoga and repeated soaks in baths of epsom salts and baking soda
3. Trying to decide what useful thing to do today
1. I've been having weird stomach pains. Yesterday they were so bad they made me puke and mr. rossi had to come home and take care of the kids. I think I have an ulcer.
2. My little toenail fell off. Just fell off for no good reason. WTF, pinkie toe?
1. Deadline today at 3pm. Have not started. It's just a short little prologue, but I haven't landed on the right thing. Ah well, it doesn't hit the stage until May.
2. Have to find some red to wear for the Pro-Burma protest this evening.
3. Boyfriend is trying order Hakka food at 10:30 in the morning and is surprised they're not open yet.
1. I was gonna mow the back yard today but my husband put a heavy box in front of the mower in the shed and the box was webbed plus I saw something black scuttling in it. I ain't moving that box.
2. Daughter and grandbun might be leaving as soon as later next week.
1. financial freakage continues. perhaps it will end at the same time rainbaby's teef grinder action ends.
2. I have to pull together a rendering for a 6:30 meeting tonight I was just told about around 11 am.
3. not sleeping worth a toot lately. appearing more raccoon like than normal.
4. yeah, no bunnystock for me either. poop.
1. no call from Date Guy! Think it must somehow be my fault!
2. Cold in my nose, moving to throat, probably headed for chest.
3. Sister insists I develop an egg-nog-custard-filled cupcake for Thanksgiving. What's your favorite genoise/white/yellow cake recipe?
1. Mysterious stomach pains continuing after 8 days so I caved and went to the doctor.
2. She doesn't know what it is either but she is concerned and this is FREAKING me out. Nobody is ever worried about my health but me. Usually they just say, "It's a virus. It'll go away." Might be my appendix. They took a ton of blood. Now I am dizzy and my stomach still hurts. And I'm supposed to go Friday and have a CT scan of my whole middle. They gave me big jars of stuff to drink on Friday morning. I am scared.
3. Tomorrow is a big work party here; I still have way too much to do; I can't be sick right now.
4. No, no bunnystock for me either but I already knew that.
1. Not even thinking about existence of bunnystock, because possibility of attending approaches zero
2. Working overtime Mon, Tues, Wed until 9,00pm for the next month or so - today is Thursday so I get to go home in daylight, but it feels like I haven't left here for days
3. *rubs mgl's tummy*
1. Still no word on the job I had the second interview for Monday.
2. Taking the advice of the kind folks who posted in my "How to be alone without being lonely" thread and going to Krav Maga class tonight. Signed up in June and have only been once, but I enjoyed hitting stuff, so I'm going to make it a new habit!
3. Because of above class, had to put in my contacts for the first time since...I don't know when. Now I remember why I switched back to glasses.
mgl: make sure they are considering hernia. GI problems are often connected to hernias and not diagnosed as such. It can get awful. Have them look at that possibility.
