last night there was a power outage right after I got home from work at 2am. the smoke detector chirped for awhile because it had to run just on its battery. I didn't want to unplug it because getting on a ladder in the middle of the night with nobody around sounded like a bad idea. unfrotunately, the PG&E trukc came to work on the... Read More
So, my male cat, Oliver loves to play in water. So much so that we call him "CatDog" and have to keep him out of the master bath. He's okay in the guest bath (I even keep water in that sink because he tips dishes over while he plays). But in the master bath, he knock stuff over, makes messes with my makeup, etc. He... Read More
I'm so sorry about your health BS woes. That stuff is the pitts.
I have to keep a journal for school, so I tend not to feel like I have anything I need to share. Oh well. Some day when I'm out in the real world I guess I'll be more interesting. Here's hoping.
Haha my wife attempted to give Angus a bath once after he sat in some correction fluid. He wasn't participating..... it's a great way to wash the carpet, floors etc
As much as I want to leave that happy journal entry up forever, I wanted to explain what's going on. Caution: health stuff in the spoiler. No gory stuff, though - I don't want you to lose your lunch.
Some day in the future there might be really cheap and fast overseas travel ... and I might be able to show up for an SGSF thing .... by then I'll probably be in my 70s and totally senile.
You have my sympathy regarding the hangover ... I get bad ones from time to time.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I just want you people to know that an update like this takes a loooong time, and requires me to think a lot, but its worth it because I adore you crazy kids. Over the past year, you guys have been supportive through the hard times, youve been celbrating with me in the good times, and overall youve made my life better.... Read More
I'm working on an update for the new year. Those of you who have changed your name in spite of me asking you to please leave it long enough for my entry to post can suck it.
Also, I'm in the midst of a ruthless purging of my friends list. If you feel I've deleted you mistakenly, please note that I'm deleting people I don't... Read More
YAY!!!! Tonight I had to work (poopy), but I got finished early, and right when I was leaving, someone called my name. And it was a friend of mine whom I've known for 3 years, and who I miss very much! We'll call her "Robin", which will only make sense to Trixie and Chloe, but thaat's okay. Not only is she working close to... Read More
Well, I had hoped to post a Christmas message, but wound up way busier than I had anticipated. But to those of you who celebrate Hanukkah, I wish you a lovely holiday! For those who celebrate Chrismas, I hope yours was as nice as mine. I got very lucky this year - not only was every single gift I gave well-received, but I was given... Read More
Quick update:
- I found a perfect suit when I made my emergency trip yesterday morning - it even has pink pinstripes!
- The Nutcracker was very good, but I was surprised when they brought in an additional ballerina to dance with the Nutcracker prince at the end, rather than having him dance with the Sugarplum Fairy. It was during the Sugarplun Fairy music, so... Read More
I don't feel like making this coherent, so bear with me:
- Al is the coolest girl ever. Period.
- I have stayed on-budget with almost all of my presents this year, and yet I am super poor.
- I need to conjure about $2,000 out of thin air to get my finances out of ICU.
- I was feeling grumpy today, but then I... Read More
