i left my apartment exactly once after arriving home friday night. how awesome is that? i wouldn’t even have done that if jen & christopher hadn’t gone dessert shopping on their way over saturday afternoon and phoned begging for a ride from lonsdale quay.
yeah, yeah. hermit. recluse. lazy. whatever. i needed some serious home-time and i got it. i feel a lot better for it, too. and, i spent most of it with my awesome boyfriend, which made it all the better. for most of yesterday he played zelda while i puttered about cooking food for the week, surfing online and bagging up the clothes i purged from the closet while breaking in my new boots. it was a wholly domestic day. yay domesticity!
the schedule this week is light, but good: of montreal on wednesday (which is sold out, but you can still get tickets for thursday’s show!) and a tribute dinner for christopher’s father on friday. oh, and i absolutely have to watch the Grammys on sunday night to see The Police play together for the first time in 20 years. of course, i also have two sushi lunches booked at the end of the week.
maybe i should just turn this into a sushi blog and get it over with.

i can’t believe i’ve had this man in my life for an entire year. i don’t think anyone would have guessed that a nervous coffee at the bread garden one year ago tonight would turn out to be the beginning of the best twelve months in memory.
all those years of being alone and dreaming of one day finding a boy who’d like me back. i had it all worked out: he’d be tall and smell good and be funny and a good kisser and be able to teach me things and think i’m beautiful and be kind to my tender heart. all those years… never finding that guy. only to discover him on a dreary saturday excursion. the universe is funny that way.
and i’m so fucking lucky.

okay, here it is. i don’t know how long that other boxy layout was around, but it’s got to be well over two years. the only things which changed were the header image and the backgrounds. this time, i think things look a little more grown up and easier to read. i hope you like it.
unfortunately, for some reason i can’t figure out (and, honestly, can’t be bothered) the <div>’s i used to center photos in posts doesn’t work on random photos. there’s no sense to it which i can see, but changing them to <p>’s fixes it. i’ve gone back to july 2005 and changed them, but i can’t see myself going all the way back to august 2000. that’s just crazy talk. the perfectionist in me is completely freaking out about the fact that there are some 400 photos which DON’T LINE UP PROPERLY, but with the kind of weeks i’ve been having lately, i’m just going to hope that y’all can forgive me for being such a horrible housekeeper.
if anything is really borked, please let me know and i’ll try to fix it up for you. otherwise, i think i’ve had my fill of CSS for the next two years.

did you know that if you book a cruise on norwegian cruise lines you get your own email address? i didn’t, either. if i need to get ahold of my father while he’s sailing around the hawaiian islands this week, i can email him! how cool is that? hm… i could even email him from my Wii!
speaking of the Wii: WHEE!
lots and lots of fun! so much fun. even just using the controller (from here on out referred to as the wiimote) to navigate all the menus to initially set up it up was exciting and caused me to exclaim “this is the best thing *ever*!” which inspired my boyfriend to prove me wrong later that evening — rawr.
i’ve only had it two nights and now it’s all i want to do. i have dinner plans with col, ritchie & nelson tonight, but i’m sorely tempted to cancel them so i can go home and practice my wii tennis. yes, i’d pass up yummy sushi with them to play pretend sports. that’s how much fun it is!
even though, by the end of a session of tennis or boxing, my arms are burning, i’ve yet to be beset by Wii-elbow the next day, which is kind of surprising considering how much aching there is after three rounds of boxing. i’m sure i’ll injure myself eventually, though. it’s inevitable with my superior level of clumsiness. christopher very nearly dislocated a couple of somethings with his spectacular follow-through during a bowling frame on tuesday evening. luckily the comfy chair was there to catch his fall or it might have been quite tragic.
i’ve rented three games to try out over the next couple of weeks: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Trauma Center: Second Opinion and Warioware: Smooth Moves. at $10 a week per game (actually, it’s more like $5/week because you have a week’s grace period after your initial rental is due to take it back without penalty – yay), i figure it’s a smart thing to rent these games before i shell out $60 a pop and then find out i hate them (like i did with some Playstation games – grr). jamie and i played some of Smooth Moves last night and, although it was kind of confusing for me, it kept me interested. after he left, i went through and played some more. it turns out i really like the fast-paced mini-games. not knowing what you’re supposed to do in each of them might be the best part.
don’t worry, there is little chance this is going to turn out to be a Wii gaming blog any time soon, but for the interim (aka while i’m obsessed) there may be a lot of Wii-talk hereabouts. sorry.
in other news: i hate snow. the gunk the doctor told me to put in my eye might be helping. there’s too much food in my fridge for me to eat before it goes bad. working for a living sucks. i could use a nap.

i’m losing days.
i know i’m awake and doing stuff, but i have to spend a lot of time concentrating to remember what i did when and with who. maybe that’s good. maybe i’m so into the now i’m no longer obsessed with the past. that bears some thinking on.
i do know that i got a full twelve hours of sleep after going out for belated birthday drinks with christopher, jen, thomas & matt at The Irish Heather friday night after work. i wish both chris & i had been feeling better to more fully enjoy the evening, but as it were, i had a good time nursing my yummy shandy and laughing my ass off. i almost forgot that i’d spent the day convincing myself i had acute angle-closure glaucoma and i should have had someone take me to the hospital before i lost vision in my eye permanently.
sunday afternoon, after cooking us up a yummy breakfast, christopher & i went for a very cold photo walk around Deer Lake in Burnaby (where the photo above was taken). we watched the dumb, dumb, dumb people walking and skating on the frozen lake. people! this is VANCOUVER! three days of -4°Celsius don’t freeze a lake anywhere near enough to go practice hockey drills on! *sigh* we did wander a good two feet out onto the frozen water, ourselves, but chris almost landed on his butt and i nearly dislocated my patella again, so we didn’t stay out long.
yesterday, i was up at 4:30am to take my dad and his pal to the airport. as i type this, they’re about four hours from docking in the first port of call on their 7-day hawaiian cruise. i love him very much, but man, do i hate him right about now.
i left work early (not because i’d gotten there an hour early) to go see the ophthalmologist again. this time he was a bit more thorough and i got to say all the things i had concerns about. he even did the proper glaucoma pressure test this time. he gave me an ointment i need to stick in my eye at bedtime and said, again, to come back any time i had concerns. i still don’t really feel like he heard me, though. i may ask my GP to refer me to another guy if things don’t improve. at least i’m not as strung out about the whole situation as i was last week. boy, was i a wreck.
while i was running around pharmacies looking for the eye-gunk, i missed delivery of my Wii. i had even changed my voicemail message (which the door buzzer rings through to) to ask the Canada Post person to please leave any packages by my door, instead of leaving one of those evil parcel notices. alas, he in turn left me a message saying he couldn’t do that because the parcel was marked “do not safe drop”. bleh. well, we all know what i’ll be doing on my way home tonight, right? and when i get home. and all night long. and for the rest of this week…
christopher speculated that my recent surge in popularity (i have three different social engagements this week!) was due solely to people’s knowledge of my impending Wii-ness. he’s probably right. damn leeches! first it’s the couch, now it’s the Wii. people only love me for my stuff! ;)
for some reason, i’ve got myself a killer headache today. maybe it was the 5am wake up to get on the bus in time this morning. it kills me that i have dad’s car this week and there’s this snow fall warning. of course, there’s barely any snow out there, so now i’m crabby that i didn’t drive anyway. mabye i should stop typing and go get myself some more coffee.
have a great day!

voila! chez hessie version 2.5!

i’m very pleased with how everything came together considering it was all accomplished by hunches and happenstance. of course, now i’m getting ideas about how to revamp other areas of the apartment, but i’m going to try very hard to hold off on acting on them… at least until the new year.
looking at my calendar for the next two weeks is stressing me out. a lot. there’s just so much going on between now and xmas that i wonder if i’ll make it without becoming a totally evil bitch-hag. it’s potluck season, so i’m freaking out over what to bring. it’s baking season, so i’m freaking out about getting supplies and getting it all done in one day. there’s a lot of work stuff which is cutting into my routine, so that’s got me tense (not to mention my boss being in perma-overdrive which makes me even more twitchy). i really want to have some people over but it seems that every other minute i’m adding something to that damn calendar which cuts into my available time.
maybe i should start drinking heavily. mm, egg nog. that’s a pretty heavy drink.
even with the scheduling stresses, i’m really into the spirit of the season this year (unlike last). decorations are up in my place and at work and i can’t wait to hear xmas music in the office. i’m sure it’s got a lot to do with the fact i’m generally happier than i was last year. my house is in order, my friends are awesome, i’ve got an amazing and wonderful boy in my life, my parents are both healthy and happy… seriously, why shouldn’t i be happy and excited to celebrate the time of year when it’s all about appreciating the good things in life?
i totally wish i could give each and every one of you a big hug. *squeeze*

happy turkey day to all you americans down there, okay? send me some pie if you think about it, please.
after dragging christopher along to wal-mart last night to pick up my dad’s birthday present, he’s now said that if i ever feel the need to go there again because something is cheaper he’ll just pay me the difference. my poor boyfriend, he suffers so much for me.
so, thanks for those of you who voted for me in that blog award thing. i’m not even being sarcastic since i didn’t make it past the first round in either category. le sigh. i suppose i’m just not awesome enough to warrant fame. that’s okay, i couldn’t afford to pay for more bandwidth to handle the increased traffic anyway.
i wonder if spamming actually makes money. i could use a new, more lucrative, less time-consuming career, which allows me lots of time to surf the internet and hang out on my new couch (7 sleeps!).
speaking of the couch, i’m starting to get used to the big, empty space in my livingroom. of course, it currently has two camp chairs in it, but i kind of like that it could be completely empty in less than three minutes. i should get over that. i know that once the couch arrives, i’m going to be so happy it has. i can’t wait! can we just fast-forward to next thursday? please?
my favourite part of the day is between waking up and getting out of bed. i’m comfortable, warm, relaxed. my sheets feel good against my skin and i’m totally safe in my cocoon of cotton. unfortunately, this is followed by the worst part of my day: actually getting out of bed. life is so unfair.

… it was the margarita mix.
ugh, my head.
i had jamie and colene over last night to celebrate jamie’s birthday. actually, i really wanted to throw him a big party, but he didn’t like that idea, so i didn’t. since i’m couchless, it was probably a good thing. as it was, meghan came over with some fold-out camp chairs for us to park our butts on (thank you, meg!).
we drank a lot of margaritas, ate a lot of pizza, played ‘truth or dare’ without the dare, took silly photos and enjoyed home-made creme brulee for dessert. it was a good, laid back birthday evening. i think jamie had a good time. at least i hope he did.
today, i hurt. i wonder how the birthday boy is feeling…

so, as a commenter so kindly suggested, i posted an ad for my futon on craigslist last night. as of this moment, i have received six replies. two of which have offered to pick it up today (but one of them asked if i’d be willing to knock $25 off the price – uh, no). i’m not sure what the etiquette for this type of selling is. do i give the first responder first crack, then if it falls through, the second, third, etc? what i’ve done is emailed all the interested parties with a “yes, it’s still available” and i think whoever shows up first with cash in hand will be the lucky winner.
holy crap, while writing that paragraph, i’ve gotten a reply and some guy is coming by tonight to pick it up. wow!
hm… i wonder if i can get the couch delivered sooner. i was so worried it would be a big hassle to get the futon gone i got the very nice people at sears to hold off delivery for two weeks. i don’t want to be couchless for that long, though. maybe i’ll call nice norma the saleslady and see what she can do for me. but, i won’t do that until there’s actually an empty space in my livingroom. just in case.

since i got nominated for ‘best photo/art blog’ i figured i better put up a photo. i actually scanned a roll of film last night. somebody call ripley’s! i really need to catch up on the scanning. i still have something like ten rolls to do before i can get the five rolls of exposed film sitting on my desk developed. two of those rolls are from the pinholga and my newest camera, the brownie hawkeye, which i’d really like to see. i guess i better get a move on. le sigh.
in other, more serious news, do you or anyone you know need a futon? i wanted it to be a surprise, but i found myself a big-girl couch on the weekend! yay! it’s superawesome and i can’t wait to get it (delivery is on the 30th), but before that happens i really need to get rid of the futon. it’s still in really good shape and i only want $75 for it. please, if you know of anyone who might be interested, let me know or give them my email address. it has to be gone by the 29th or it’s taking a midnight trip to the back alley. photos available upon request.
most of the men in my life are sick right now: my boyfriend, my dad, my officemate. i’m wondering if this particular strain of plague only attacks those of the y-chromosomal persuasion. wouldn’t that be evil (where evil means “really, really funny”)? because i’m awesome like that, on my lunch break i’ll take christopher the tea i bought for him last night. i offered to bring dad some soup last night, but he refused. sean’s back at work today, which is good because i really didn’t want to do his job again.
the weekend is filling up! friday night is an exhibit opening at the presentation house gallery. saturday is the decemberists show at the commodore. sunday, i’ll have to do all the stuff i didn’t have time for on friday or saturday. seriously, why are weekends so damn short?
oh, speaking of, mom and i both survived her trip over from the island. she got to meet christopher & jen and a whole bunch of my co-workers whose names she’ll never remember. we ate indian & thai food, shopped at daiso and had a busy, but good visitlet (30 hours doesn’t really make a proper visit). surprisingly, the weather fully cooperated with her time on this side of the water, too! now that she knows how easy it is to make the trip, i think she’ll want to do it more often. eek! ;)

oops… sorry if you’ve tried to comment in the last week or so and been confronted by the “denied for questionable content” message. i got a little carried away with the blocking of the spam. everything is back to working now, so feel free to comment ’til you pass out. or something.
spent an hour on the phone with jeremy last night catching up and such. we don’t often talk on the phone, but whenever we do i’m guaranteed to laugh a lot and our chat didn’t disappoint. our friendship suffered a lot this year, but i’m glad that we seem back on track. i missed him, even though i was too stubborn and stupid to say so.
tonight is music bingo night at the pub. yay! it’ll be jen’s first time both at the pemby and experiencing music bingo. jamie & maja are coming along since maja loved it last time and, well, jamie just likes the fish’n’chips. even col, whose first experience was less than stellar, is joining us. i think her reason is just to spend time with us since she doesn’t really seem to like the pub or the music bingo so much. then there’s christopher, who hates that pub and has an allergic reaction to the word ‘bingo’, suffering though the experience because “it’s what a boyfriend does”. how awesome is he? *schmoop*
so, yeah, i’m working for the music bingo today. i will pass most of my day listening to toshiro (my mp3 player) while filing. whee! my life is so exciting.

first off, i must wish a very happy 9th birthday to miss rowan of worcester, mass. happy birthday, beautiful!
i’m turning into a houseproud homebody. yesterday, instead of going out and enjoying what was left of the non-wet weather, after my dad stuffing me with pancakes, i went grocery shopping then came home to cook and clean. christopher & jen came over and we had a yummy sit-down meal and i didn’t even really mind doing the dishes i was so content to be the hostess. so weird.
why don’t people use their turn signals? seriously, drivers, it’s the ONLY means you have of communicating to your fellow road-warriors what the heck you’re thinking of doing. nothing perturbs me more than someone just changing lanes or making a right-hand turn without singnaling their intention. gah. even just thinking about it makes me sputter. GAH!
while wandering the maul saturday evening in a vain attempt to cheer me up, i think chris & i found a very likely candidate for my new couch. it looked nice, it was comfortable, and, if i buy it before the 20th, i don’t have to pay for it for a year! i will probably go back sometime this week to just double-check its butt-worthiness. i just have to remember to wear slip-on shoes so i can quickly remove them for proper tv-watching positioning.
btw, i just have to tell the internets how amazingly awesome christopher is. really, i’m so very lucky. to paraphrase ‘the sound of music’, somewhere in my wicked past i must have some something good.

i was going to sign up for that nablopomo thing that everyone’s doing, but even the lure of awesome prizes isn’t going to be enough to get me to blog something every day for an entire month. c’mon, people… i have beer to drink and hot sex to have, that’s got to take precedence. it’s all about priorities.
i was halfway done a list for you to read yesterday, but i inadvertantly closed the tab. sorry. it was kind of good, too. in it i mentioned the dog i nearly ran over the other night, that i had my halo on at work (which made all my co-workers snicker for some reason) and how i carved a pumpkin for the first time in well over a decade and it was AWESOME. there was probably more to it, but i have the retention of a three-year-old after a bag of halloween candy. again, sorry.
christopher & i went to The Brick last night to sit on couches and lay on beds. i’d printed out the specs of four sofas i wanted to butt-test. we sat on three of them, but the fourth (which is the one i REALLY wanted to try) is a special order only style. fuckers. sorry, but i’m not going to buy a couch un-tested. that’s just asking for disaster. i guess it doesn’t matter if you only care about what it looks like, but i’m in search of a delicate balance of comfort and attractiveness. *sigh* i may never find a couch.
i do think i found the mattress i want. alas, it’s over $1200. just for the mattress, not even with a boxspring! wtf? when did mattresses get so disgustingly expensive? i’m feeling very lottery lucky this week, so maybe i’ll be able to afford it soon.
phew! i very nearly lost this post-in-progess while looking for a photo to put up top. that was close! i better quit while i’m ahead.
oh, just one more thing… i know it’s november now, but it still felt like early september less than two weeks ago and now my car is covered in frosty stuff in the morning. i’m not adjusting well to this sudden onslaught of cold temperatures. i want more warm, please. i had to put on a scarf and gloves this morning. this is inhumane! someone fast-forward me to spring, please.

this is the photo of the correctional centre in victoria which wasn’t confisicated. fun!
everything from friday afternoon until about three on sunday went by too fast. there was beer, pizza, bad movies, friends, nachos, sleepovers, ghouls, people, yummy pho, magic: the gathering. then, after dropping christopher off at home sunday afternoon, time seemed to stand still. from three until bedtime seemed to last forever. i probably should have used my time more wisely than just washing clothes and catching up on my television, but i didn’t. i figure i’m entitled to one slackass evening a week.
today’s plans include trying to get used to the time change, picking up my camera from the nikon people and then carving a pumpkin at christopher’s. i’m a party animal, i am. whee.

i’m sitting here on the futon, in the mostly dark, with lucy on my lap and survivor on the tv. i came home to a bloody freezing apartment due to two specific occurances: i left windows open and it’s autumn — for real. as a consequence, i’m bundled up in flannel pajama bottoms and my fuzzy orange sweater over the shirt i wore to work today. i even went so far as to crank the oven and leave its door open in hopes of taking the chill out of the air. either i’ve gotten accustomed to the chill or it’s actually warmer. i’m betting on a combination of the two.
so, yeah. i’m feeling pretty chatty. i feel like typing about how i spent five minutes petting the polydactyl neighbour cat this morning. it was very friendly… until i scritched the wrong spot and it attacked. instead of getting mad, i told it i was sorry for getting a sore spot gave more scritches. yes, i am that desperate for kitty love. if i could deal with the thought of all the extra cleaning involved in feline parenthood, i’d totally go back to the maul and get all those kittens christopher & i saw last week.
i was all fired up about the new worksafe initiative being discussed in the lower mainland requiring gas stations to have customers pay before they pump after 11pm to prevent “gas & dash”es and their unintended casulties. such things which impose penalties on the many in order to prevent the actions of the few enrage me. i worry about the dumbing-down of society. i’m convinced that protecting the stupid is the exact wrong way to build responsible people.
driving dad’s car while he’s in europe might be a very, very bad idea. i’m getting far too used to all that power, the comfy seats, the four doors, the cd-player and the general non-awfulness in comparison to my old and falling-apart hessmobile. i feel bad, because i really do love my car, but it’s 14 and a half years old and it’s showing its age. i find myself thinking about how i can somehow convince dad to let me keep his car when he gets home. *sigh*
so, i found this fantastic-looking sofa/loveseat set on sale on craigslist today. they’re a brick-orange colour in a modern, clean design which i’ve always liked. i emailed the seller asking for the dimensions, which was probably a mistake. i came home, got out the measuring tape and realized they’d be PERFECT in my living room. alas, i don’t have an extra $750 lying about for couch-purchasing, let alone any costs of just getting it here. it’s really sad, buying used would be a great way for me to avoid depreciation of buying new… and it’s an ORANGE COUCH for pete’s sake! how often do they come around?
christopher just phoned me for the second time tonight. he’s out with jen & barb and it seems they all drank a lot of beer at The Main. oh, drunken boyfriend phone calls… gotta love them.
speaking of boyfriends, i’ve been encountering a new life experience. previously, i was asked by friends and strangers alike why i was single. now, it seems the question i’m asked with disturbing frequency is a variation of “when is he going to move in?”. uh, excuse me? is this just typical? is this what people ask these days when people have been dating for more than six months? i don’t know about you, but isn’t that a little rash? then again, i’ve known people who got married six weeks after they met and have been together for over ten years. i also know people who’ve been dating for years and still barely sleep over at each other’s place. i guess i’m just not used to being someone for whom ‘moving in’ is even an option.
i scanned the last of my negatives left from june tonight and, if i do say so myself, they’re FANTASTIC. seriously, i haven’t been that happy with a roll in a long time. i’m kicking myself for a couple of reasons: i waited so long to scan it and not using my holga in so long. i do love that camera. i’d almost forgotten how much. looking at the shots, i realized how awesome it is and how i enjoy shooting with it. i’m so thankful to christopher for buying it for me. i’m so very lucky.
okay, the very exciting part of survivor is starting, so i’m going to head off. i think i’ve covered most of the stuff percolating in my noggin. hopefully an empty brain will help me sleep.
sweet dreams!

busy.

as i sit here nursing my sore neck and sipping my first dose of caffeine for the day, there’s a big ol’ roast beef slowly cooking in the slow cooker at home. there’s also a baking dish full of roasted tomatoes, onion & garlic in my fridge waiting to be turned into roasted tomato soup (the recipe for which i found on flickr of all places).
by the time four o’clock yesterday came around, i felt horrible. physically, mentally, everywhichwayily. i kind of snapped at christopher on the phone, which i felt bad about. so, because i really needed to both apologize to him and be hugged, i drove to his place unannounced and just kind of fell into him when he opened the door.
god, i hate it when i have moods.
going home and getting reacquainted with my space helped to settle me a lot. i did some shopping, watched some brain-rot, washed my new clothes, prepped the above-mentioned food, talked to jen on the phone, ate a halibut burger and generally had a quiet evening at home. alone. all by myself. after spending three days in very close quarters with my mom, it was much-needed. very much-needed.
i’ve promised myself that once i finish the four rolls of film which are currently loaded in cameras i will not shoot any more film until i’ve caught up on the innumerable sets of negatives which need scanning. i’m hoping that such a strict restriction will encourage me to just get it done already. seriously, there are rolls going back to mid-june, for pete’s sake. plus, i owe my eastern-living family photos from the reunion in july, which i’ve not even attempted to sort and process. i’m such a horrible slacker.
i blame the fact that i hate my computer chair. it’s uncomfortable to sit in for long periods of time. that’s a good reason, right?

back at home. back at work. back to real life.

just when i thought the day was going to suck, things got better.
had some good chats, got some work done, ate a yummy halibut burger, went digital camera shopping with my dad, bought booze & ordered pizza, received amazingly beautiful flowers from both jen and christopher (i heart flowers), watched the polish james dean on tv, slayed at scrabble, learned that i’d obviously read the abridged version of ‘to kill a mockingbird’ in highschool and went to bed way, way, way too late for a work night.
i’m hurting today, but it was so very worth it.
thanks, everyone!

i’d have to say it was a full and rewarding weekend. not so very frantic i feel worn out, but neither so laid back i feel nothing was really done.
friday night, josh & i had dinner and enjoyed free theatresports tickets at granville island. it was a very pleasant evening. i’ve not spent time alone with him before, so i was glad to discover that we don’t need colene around to get along. i was home and in bed at a reasonable hour, which was good seeing as it was the end of my three-week stint as sean at work and i was pretty much worn out.
saturday, i had a lazy morning doing not much of anything before i went out to christopher’s. he wasn’t in the best shape after drinking too much red wine at a barbeque the night before, so i took charge and we headed out to a couple thrift stores and then to see hollywoodland at tinseltown. after that, we spent a quiet evening back at my place eating butter chicken and being all moody.
yesterday, again, began with a lazy morning — i really don’t enjoy hitting the ground running any morning, but especially not on weekends. while waiting to hear from jen about what we three were to do for the day, i watched the pilot episode of my so-called life i downloaded and re-experienced all my teen-angst in 45 minutes. i was glad to get out of the house after that.
i made chris make all the decisions since he’d forced it upon me the day before. next thing i knew, we were on our way to fetch jen in marpole, then at the regional assembly of text on main street, then in the main eating yummy greek food, then leah showed up all decked out in graduation photo finery. we all piled into my car and headed to chez hessie for a mini photoshoot of leah in her gorgeous purple dress and then a lot of drunken monopoly playing. i don’t know how i managed it, but i’m actually hangover-free today. i think it might be a medical miracle.
i didn’t get any kind of housework or laundry done which always bugs me a little, but i’d have to say it was a fairly good weekend overall. i took a lot of photos and i’m falling more in love with my polaroid sx-70 with every press of that little red button.
now, i’m back at work in my own job, and i’m feeling pretty good about that. i have a lot to do, but i actually feel inspired and capable of getting it done, which is a nice change from the last few months.
oh, one last thing, i’m not going to have an amazing race party this weekend. sorry, gill.
