Feeling Domestic

I am not a cook. I’ve enjoyed baking for a really long time, but cooking food for meals is a different thing, and not something I’ve done much of.
Last night I bought some frozen talapia, and put one in the refrigerator to defrost for today. I needed to make it quick because my mom was [...]

Not Tonight; I Have A Headache

I am not a seasonal allergy sufferer; I suffer from them pretty much all the time. Dust, mold, whatever it is, it’s controlled quite nicely by a daily dose of Zyrtec. Somehow I managed to run out without buying more first, so last night I missed a dose.
I had this grand plan to go to [...]

Projects in Progress

I’m just worn out today after only really getting about five hours of sleep last night. I had to pretty much drag myself out of bed so I could let Barb in to work on my master closet while I finished the last little bit of prepping for my workshop. I actually did do some [...]

Another Unexciting Day

Is “unexciting” even a word? It doesn’t sound right, but spell-check doesn’t mind it, and I’m too tired to care at this exact moment.
I did get a bit of exciting news today, but it won’t really be exciting until Sunday, when my new sofas will be delivered. The last I heard they wouldn’t be in [...]

Staving Off More Illness

Today I woke up feeling very rundown and possibly coming down with another cold (I’m still wondering if my first cold was really a cold at all, since the symptoms were also very similar to H1N1), so I called in sick to work and got some extra sleep. I’m so glad I did, because I [...]

My Post Was Eaten

I don’t really have the heart to rewrite the post I just though I posted but seems to have disappeared.
Short story version: I was nervous about using the dryer I had in storage for about 11 years, but it appears to be fine.
Tomorrow I need to buy real food. And put my bread machine to [...]

So Tired

I think this past week of just doing so much has worn me out. I’m almost looking forward to getting back to work Monday because it’s more relaxing than sorting out my kitchen and painting.
Today Mom and I got the two largest walls in the living room painted, and will probably do the other two [...]

The Productivity of Others

I don’t feel like I personally got much accomplished today, but quite a bit actually got done.
I got up plenty early and got a couple of things done, like finishing setting up my desktop computer so it’d be ready for high-speed Internet installation, but I was so tired I decided to take a short nap. [...]

Moving In, Day One

As I was typing the title, I just realized I’ve had my netbook connected to Sprint via its mobile broadband card for a few hours now. I typically use it very sporadically, so I have no idea how much time I can actually get per month out of my plan. Hmm. In any case, I’m [...]

The Craziness is Nearly Finished

The main thing is that my closing is going forward tomorrow morning at 10. Getting to this point has involved a lot of drama and nail biting, and there’s actually one little piece involving the lender that’s not quite done yet, but basically, I should be a homeowner by lunchtime tomorrow.
Not that I can actually [...]
