Today I finished editing Solid Foundations, and while it's not my FAVORITE of the post-HH one-shots, it's definitely solid. After all my edits it came out to 17,903 words, which is shorter than some of my recent one-shots but kind of in-between the really long ones and the shorter ones. I'm happy with it.

Now I'm working on Nightlight, and after Nightlight comes Put Your Hands On Me, and then that's the end of the post-HH one-shots and I'll be transitioning back into the post-SS ones instead. I already have four finished that just need editing, I think, but before I tackle THAT I need to write and edit Going International, since it got kind of shoehorned in at the last minute. =/ BUT SCOTTISH MONSTERS, THOUGH!

The last couple weeks I've had a huge patch of my inner right thigh that has been absolutely KILLING ME, even though there's been no bruising or swelling or even redness. I highly suspect that I have an abscess because of my Hidradenitis Suppurativa, but I've been avoiding going to the hospital because if I go to the ER and tell them "my leg hurts" I'm going to be the lowest on the list and I'll have to sit there for two fucking days until I eventually see a Doctor.

Anyway, the last couple of days the pain has been subsiding so I'm hoping whatever's going on is going away, finally. But in the meantime I've been limping HEAVILY, and that's fucked up the ankle/knee/hip on my OTHER leg so now I'm just in pain everywhere because my ribs and back are still being jerks, too. Blegh.

Yesterday I rearranged the shelves in the library/cat room. It took me all afternoon and I almost died (because of my ribs and back especially) but I got it done. The first thing I had to do was empty (almost) everything (books) off of the wooden shelves and get Mom to help me move them over about five inches. Then I had to empty the first set of black plastic shelves and unscrew them from the wall to move THEM over five inches. This is all to make room for the NEW set of black plastic shelves, which I then had to assemble and screw into place before I could put everything back on the shelves again.

I pinched my thumb putting together the new shelves and ended up with a big blood blister that I subsequently popped, so my thumb is sore now but that's a little thing. And now all of my binders fit on the shelves, and I even have spare room for FUTURE binders, too! Also, when I put all my books back on the first set of shelves I actually ORGANIZED them! So. Success! But then I died a little because EVERYTHING HURT. Everything STILL hurts.

At some point today I need to get the towels down on the floor under the rug that my computer table sits on, I'm just trying to keep the legs from making further furrows into the carpet, since I drag the table back and forth so much. I'll probably do that once I'm done posting this entry.

Also, my Internet just cut out. Goddammit.

Tomorrow is Shopping Day #1 (bank, Costco, Walmart, dollar store, Staples) and then Thursday is Shopping Day #2 (Shoppers, Zehrs, Trombly's, Canadan Tire) and I'm SO looking forward to it because I basically haven't left the house except to go see doctors in a MONTH and I'm going STIR-CRAZY in here. On the other hand, I know how FUCKING exhausting it's going to be since I'm still recuperating, which is why it's divided into two days (normally Mom and I would just do all the stops on the same day.) I'm going to be DEAD by the time we get home, and still have stuff to put away after that. =/ Oh well. At least I'll get some fresh air in-between stores.

Right about the time I got sick was when I was gearing up to swap the axolotl tank out (AGAIN) and then I was so sick I couldn't do it. I'm STILL so sick I can't do it, honestly, especially with the broken ribs, hauling all the buckets of water and scrubbing everything and moving the tanks is just SO beyond me right now. But I have to do it, soon, the 'lotls have been living in a leaking tank for like two months now and it's starting to get musty in here despite my best efforts.

So, I guess the first thing I need to do is paint the boards we got to support the new tank (har har, I'm just waiting for them to collapse and this THIRD tank to crack, too, at which point I will be looking at Mom and Lee and telling them they owe me a new dresser AND a new tank because they wouldn't let me get a better stand to begin with. Anyway.) and the painting I think I AM up to, probably in stages but I can do it. I picked up bright grass green water resistant paint just before I got sick for this job, so it'll POP in my room lol.

Then after the painting is done I need to wait a while longer for my ribs to heal some more, and Mom says she'll help me as best she can and we'll get it done. I'm skeptical, but willing to try. I can't keep patching the leak with towels constantly, after all. (At least it's a slow leak.)

...I've pretty much decided that I'm going to rehome Emmett and Rosie. They are the cause of most of the bird mess and allergy problems in my bedroom and honestly I wasn't supposed to have four budgies to begin with. I got Winter and Shield, and then a while later I got Riley to add to the cage, but Riley turned out to be a GIRL and Winter and Shield were fighting over her, so I had to put her in her own cage. Then she was despondent and lonely, so I had to get Emmett to keep her company... and then fucking RILEY died, and EMMETT got all depressed, so I had to get Rosie to keep HER company. Basically, I fucked up by deciding to get a third bird for my original cage and now I have two cages and four birds and it's too much. Hopefully I can find a good home for them when I set about actually doing the rehoming in the (near?) future.

I'm also rehoming two of my plants right now, I have them up on kijiji. One is Bela, who was a clipping off of my Pothos, Sam, before I put him in the axolotl tank. I was afraid he was going to die and wanted a backup just in case but he's doing fine and I don't really need two of them. The other is Grabriel, who is a baby Swiss Cheese Monstera. I ordered a rooted clipping off Etsy and the seller sent me an additional non-rooted clipping as well and I managed to get it to take, so now I have the original one (Castiel; he's going in the aquarium with Dean eventually) and the smaller one (Gabriel), and again, I only need one, so I might as well find a new home for him. I asked Mom if she wanted him but she said no. Apparently we only need one person obsessively collecting plants in this house lol.

Speaking of plants, my baby spider plant, Jack, was doing SUPER well in my windowsill... until FREAKING PLUTO came along and ATE half of him! AUGH. This cat has NEVER shown interest in (real) plants before (he loves to chew on fake ones, though) but apparently at ELEVEN YEARS OF AGE he decided EHH WHY NOT?? So Jack is currently convalescing on the shelves in the window in the dining room and will probably take a year to grow back. He was just getting to look like a proper spider plant, too. Oh well, he'll make it into the aquarium SOME day, I guess. :<

I saw Itsy out and about yesterday for the first time since Icepocalypse2k25. When we lost power his heating pad obviously wasn't working and it got so cold he went into serious hibernation. But he was out last night, so that was good to see. All this month I was worried that he might have died, but nope! And now that he's not hibernating anymore, I can buy him more crickets and get him fed up. It's been a while since he's had a good meal, between one thing and another.

Um. Okay, movies then. (SPOILERS BELOW.)

Death Of A Unicorn: Was fantastic, but Paul Rudd's character drove me crazy. He was so obsessed with staying and getting the money when it was SO. OBVIOUS. they needed to fucking LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. He had a redeeming moment, though, so that was good. The animation for the unicorns was GREAT and I am now OBSESSED with the concept of the duality of unicorns. Don't piss those things off, that's for sure. A few of the characters were annoying, and I felt super sorry for the girl who was just trying to be the VOICE OF REASON in the ABSOLUTE MADNESS but yeah. Just generally a good time and right up my alley!

Heart Eyes: Nothing really... special or unique, here, it's all been done before, I think, in bits-and-pieces in different movies, but it was put together in a fun, entertaining way and that's the important thing. The twist at the end was kind of transparent (to me at least, I saw it coming a mile off), but the kills and gore were solid. The entire sequence with the two main characters in the front seats of the van while the hippy couple fucked in the back was completely unnecessary, though, and kind of made me turn my nose up. I think my favorite part was actually the "doomed lovers" jewelry campaign the jewelry company put out, it was super artistic and creative (if poorly timed) lol.

The Woman In The Yard: I don't... have much of an opinion on this one, right now. I watched it once and kind of went "huh." And that was it. It's very much a psychological thriller, and I think I need to watch it again just to get the full effect. Actual opinion TBA.

The Monkey: OKAY THIS MOVIE WAS STUPID AS FUCK BUT I LOVED IT ANYWAY. It was SO sarcastically written and SO tongue-in-cheek and the deaths were SO over-the-top it just made for a really fun horror comedy. I think I've watched it every day for the last WEEK. XD

Movies aside, I also now have all of Crossing Jordan, Falling Skies and Dead Like Me to watch. I've watched Crossing Jordan years ago and loved it then so fully except to still love it now, and Dead Like Me sounds promising... but then again, so did Falling Skies and I watched a couple episodes if IT yesterday and it's just not catching me. I'm going to watch a couple more and then decide if I want to keep it or just delete the whole thing. *shrug*

Oh, and yesterday I dug out Season 6 of SPN to watch Episode 4 ("Weekend At Bobby's") because I needed a couple of quotes from it for one of the post-SS fics. I'm going to have to watch it again, but the main monologue that I needed is about 25 minutes in so I can just skip to there. It's for the fic that WAS called Baobhan Sith but has now been re-titled to Going International. I had to kind of conceptualize this one to make sense of AU-canon stuff from other fics later on, so. It's a little last-minute and I have to write/edit it really quickly (in like a week) but I should be able to get it done, assuming I can focus on it properly.

Whiiiiich means closing down Say Something, which I've been tinkering with the last couple of days, and just buckling down on Going International. Myep. That's the plan.

All three axolotls are still alive and well, so. Good news on that front. I had to move one of their hides because it was like half an inch away from the wall of the tank and they insisted on squeezing in anyway (axolotls have no bones, so they can squish themselves in spaces like that) but then they were getting stuck and couldn't get out. So, I moved the hide farther away from the wall so they can still get in there but can also get back OUT now, which is important. :|

A couple days ago Prime Video recommended me the TV show I Shouldn't Be Alive and I was like YES. GOOD JOB, PRIME. I LOVE ME SURVIVAL STORIES. I've been basically mainlining it ever since and now I'm halfway through Season Three. I think there are five seasons all together? Anyway, it's something that had good narration, too, so I can play it and work on writing or editing at the same time, rather than movies or regular TV shows that I tend to get distracted by.

I've got Snapshot, Ghost In The Machine and Pinfeathers edited now, so they're all ready to go, and I still have to edit Teeth but I have like two or three weeks before I should be posting that one so I've got time. I'm currently actually working on Hunting Souls for the first time in forever, because that's the next one in line that I have to get finished, and then after it is Endling, which I basically haven't even started yet. I think I've written a paragraph. But I'm still... chuggin' along.

Today I called Dr. K's office to request another increase in my ADHD meds because she increased them at my last appointment at the end of January but they're still not doing what they should be doing, though they are better than nothing, I guess. She told me at that appointment that if I needed a bump up in my Vyvanse again, I should just call and tell the receptionist rather than waiting months for my next appointment. So, I'm hoping to hear back from them by the end of the day as to whether I'm getting the increase or not.

Last night, after I had put the cats to bed, about the time I was settling in to watch some stuff on the computer and then take my pills and go to bed, Mom knocked on my door and told me the window in Jessie's room had been leaking and they needed my help to get some stuff moved. (THEY didn't need my help, SHE did because LEE refused to do it, he just fucked off back downstairs to watch TV while we worked.)

Anyway, there's a leak in the window somewhere and we had to empty out one entire bookshelf into boxes and stack them in the hallway, and then move the shelves out of the way of the water. One set of my stackable plastic drawers had to be moved as well but that was quick and easy. My aloe vera plant, Wade, basically got destroyed by accident in the process of all this. My back was uppercase FUCKED by the time we were done, and I was really annoyed with Lee because like?? But whatever. They also had to move Jessie's litter boxes out into the hall, and Mom set up a fan to blow over the carpet overnight.

Today she came and told me that my cats can't come up from the basement today because the carpet in Jessie's room is still soaked, which, I could have told her that based on how long it's taken MY carpet to dry after each time my aquarium overflowed or leaked. But it means we can't put Jessie in there for the day, so the boys have to stay downstairs. It sucks but there's nothing anyone can do about it. I'll take my computer down there later this afternoon and give them some treats and keep them company for a while, they'll be fine.

On a completely unrelated topic, I have all these packets of pudding from the European deli/store in Barrie that I bought because they were pudding flavors like raspberry and cherry and peach that we don't have around here, but they (obviously) have like... Polish instructions on them so I haven't made any of them yet. This morning, though, I went on Google Translate and typed in the instructions on one of the packets and bingo! English instructions! Raspberry pudding later today!

Also, later today, depending on the roads, I'm hoping Mom will take me out to Walmart so I can get some food for Pluto and more milk. Because I had my milk written on the board for groceries last Friday and Lee talked me out of getting it (because of fridge space), even though he was getting two bags for himself. Total double standard when it comes to some stuff around here...

Okay. So. This morning I had to get up extra early so I could take my pills and requisite Ginger Ale before Mom and I had to leave for Angus to pick up a new (used) aquarium. Because mine was leaking. Naturally. Again.

The best I could find was a 40 gallon for $80 which especially sucks because one of my air pumps died as well so I had to spend $35 replacing that. So $115. OUT OF JUNA'S VET MONEY. Now I have to postpone Juna's check-up by probably two months, but at least I got Pluto done this month so I got his yearly prescription repeat and everything. Juna doesn't have any meds he needs, he's just going in for shots, etc.

Anyway, so today the weather wasn't TERRIBLE so the drive to Angus was alright. The weather lately has been ATROCIOUS, it's been a bad winter, so we were lucky to get a good day for this. And despite everything going on between us right now, Mom was willing to drive me, which was nice of her.

So, we picked up the aquarium and came home, and I did a little bit of writing for Snapshot before promptly DYING because of getting up so early and missing my afternoon siesta (between 10:30am and 12pm-ish. I sleep during that time every day and it is ESSENTIAL.) I only slept for an hour, though, and then I was back up and started in on emptying the old tank and setting up the new one.

OVER THREE HOURS LATER AND I'M STILL NOT DONE. But I've done everything I can without access to Jessie's room because while I was taking everything apart one of the filters broke, but luckily I already have a spare, it's just locked in Jessie's room at the moment. I also need another aquarium thermometer out of my Pets Bin.

I had to get Mom to help me swap the tanks out because they were way too awkward for me to carry on my own, and when I voiced wanting to keep the old tank to use as a terrarium, she like FLIPPED OUT. She hates that I keep stuff, like she is a minimalist and doesn't understand my need to be surrounded by THINGS to the point that it actually pisses her off. Whereas I find comfort in clutter (not MESS but ORGANIZED CLUTTER), and I guess we really couldn't be any different if we tried. I think I take after my Dad too much and she sees it in me and it just drives her crazy. Or something like that...

So, now the new tank is like 98% set up but the axolotls are still in the bucket with an air stone while I wait for the dichlorination tablets to work their magic on the new aquarium. Like another hour and we should be good to go.

Also, I'm washing a load of towels because I have used SO MANY TOWELS the last couple days. :|

I was supposed to cook tonight but with the whole aquarium shenanigans I just didn't have time. So, Mom and Lee went out to dinner (without me, of course) and I ate a beef patty from the freezer while I worked on aquarium stuff. I'm going to cook tomorrow night instead.

OH, AND HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!! <333

Alright. So, two days ago I decided I was going to have a Laundry Day and wash all my bedding for the first time in forever. You have to understand that my bed butts up right against the window, so pillows and blankets are always all over the windowsill, but when I pulled everything off... I found MOLD, an INCH THICK, growing along almost my entire windowsill. And I was like. What the fuck. It had even gotten into the curtains, so it had been there a while.

The only thing I could do at that point was take the curtains down and proceed with my plan to do aaaaaaall the laundry, and then clean the mold up the best I could with rubbing alcohol to kill as much as possible. It looks much better now, but the plan is to wash down the windowsill with rubbing alcohol once a week from now on to keep it gone. I THINK it happened because of the humidity from the axolotl tank, but I could be wrong.

Anyway, then I went online and looked up the symptoms of mold toxicity and I HAVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. LITERALLY EVERY ONE. It explains the "cold" I've had for the last while, the sinus issues, the cough, the constant frog in my throat and even the rash I had on my left ankle, though that's nearly gone now. SO, LIKE MAYBE. NOW THAT IT'S GONE. SOME OF THESE THINGS WILL ALSO GO AWAY? One can only hope. I just can't believe it took me so long to notice the MOLD GARDEN growing right next to where I sleep. JFC.

Today was supposed to be my appointment with Dr. K, but yesterday morning Lori (the receptionist) called and asked if I could go in that afternoon instead, something had come up and she had to cancel today's appointment. I didn't have anything else on the go, really, so that was fine with me. *shrug*

I didn't ask her about the mold toxicity, which I probably should have, but we did talk about a lot of things. I asked about the possibility of Dupixent for my lungs because I AM DESPERATE TO BREATHE AGAIN, but she said we should revisit that after my PFT at the hospital at the end of February, which makes sense.

I also asked about Zepbound, which is a weight loss drug that apparently has great results and is unrelated to the other weight loss treatments on the market, it's an entirely different medicine. But Zepbound only just came over to Canada (and was rebranded under a different name that I can't remember), so it's not covered yet, and apparently all the companies with weight loss drugs are being stingy with their samples now, where they used to give them out willy-nilly. So, I have to wait until it's covered or they start giving out samples, but that's another note in my chart.

I told her that my ADHD meds needed adjusting and she was like "well you ARE on the lowest possible dose" so she upped my Vyvanse dose, which is good. Vyvanse is also good for weight loss AND chronic pain control at higher doses, so we're going to look into that and how I'm doing on the new dose at my next appointment.

We talked about my chronic, CRIPPLING back and joint pain, and she ordered some bloodwork to check for arthritis markers before we really do anything about it. The problem is, in the meantime, I'm CONSTANTLY taking OTC painkillers with drugs in them that are bad for my NAFLD, and my liver is taxed enough as it is. But I understand where she's coming from, she doesn't want to prescribe me medications without a proper diagnosis. She DID, however, give me a magnesium balm that is apparently good for joint pain? idk, I'll give it a try.

Speaking of diagnosis, though, I asked her WHY I needed to be diagnosed with PCOS AGAIN when I was ALREADY diagnosed with it in my 20's, and why THIS TIME they insisted on a vaginal ultrasound when LAST TIME they diagnosed me with just a regular one. First she was like "idk that's just how they do it nowadays BUT YOU CAN REFUSE" and I was like "yes I know I did just that." But then she goes "wait, you were ALREADY diagnosed with PCOS??" And I was like :| "YES. Would you like to know the measurements of my ovaries at the time I was diagnosed?" lol. So she looked back in my chart and bingo! There it was!

Since the PCOS impacts so heavily on my liver (and my everything else), I should have continued to be on the birth control pills after I had the hysterectomy 4... 5?? years ago, but the gynecologist at the time cancelled my prescription because I no longer had a uterus so obviously I no longer needed meds to control my periods. EXCEPT. THEY LEFT MY OVARIES IN AND FUNCTIONAL AND STILL WREAKING HAVOC ON MY ENTIRE BODY. In the last year they have done SO much damage. =/

Dr. K just clicked a button and put me back on the birth control pills, and I'm hoping to pick them (and my Vyvanse) up this afternoon when Mom and I are out and about. Then we did the usual trick-or-treat bag full of free sample medications (Dayvigo and Breztri this time) to keep me going for a while. (I've had to up my Dayvigo dose from a half tab a night to a full tab a night so I was running out a lot quicker than before.)

I DO want to talk to her about my back pain/spasms again next time I'm in because I'm pretty sure that's my scoliosis and not arthritis, but all in all it was a good visit and we got a lot accomplished. I'm SUPER jazzed about the birth control pills and the bump up in my Vyvanse. :D
senashenta: (Begonias (Mom))
I'm getting sick. Or, well, SICKER. I'm always sick. But I woke up this morning with my sinuses blocked up and a bit of a sore throat that's going up into my ears, which is never a good sign. I have a tickle in my chest, too, so there's something going on there as well. I'm not really bad yet but give it a day or two and I'll be a mess. I knew it was coming, though, because I've been craving mushroom soup like WHOA, and I only really crave soup when I'm getting sick. Blegh. Not looking forward to the next week.

Anyway.

So, I complained and magically all my Temu orders were shipped out like three to four hours later, including the ones with preordered items in them, which I wasn't expecting. Assuming everything arrives on time, I'm happy with the customer service on Temu so far. Also I now have like... TWELVE orders in various stages of on the way to me, which is ridiculous and frankly kind of bad. I need to stop going on Temu, especially since I have to take the cats to the vet in February (Juna) and March (Pluto.) And the last three or four orders don't even have anything for other people for Christmas in them, they're strictly orders for myself, which... yeah. I have no self control.

I do, however, have Mom and my little brother sorted for Christmas via Temu (as well as Mom's birthday this year) and some stuff coming in for Dad that will complete his gifts as well, and something for Lee, though I still need to find more for him later on. So that's good, I guess. But it doesn't make up for my blatant overspending, that's for sure. :|

I also bought a copy of the movie Daddy's Little Girl on DVD from ebay yesterday. It's basically torture porn, which I'm usually not into (except for the Saw series), but for some reason this one is weirdly compelling, even though it makes me cringe sometimes. I think because the torture is so creative and not stuff I've seen in other movies, if that makes sense? I dunno, I just wanted it for my collection. I watched it on Tubi a few months back, and then again last night because they miraculously still have it. I'm considering picking up American Mary at some point, too, which isn't torture porn, but is like... graphic, twisted medical stuff. I've watched it a couple of times now, too, and the more I watch it the more I like it. But I guess we'll see.

Yesterday Trunks was supposed to be coming over to do laundry and for Mom to take him out and do groceries, but he cancelled at the last minute because he had to go to the ER for a TMI medical problem. He's fine, just uncomfortable, and he's supposed to be coming over today instead (I think.) I'm foisting off a bunch of sugary cereals on him, since I shouldn't have them anymore (because I can't have anything that tastes good anymore), and I asked him to bring one of his SPN USB drives from Christmas over because I have something to add to it (Supernatural The Anime Season 1 + Extras.) Not sure if he'll remember, but I've reminded him twice, now, so hopefully?

When the stupid external filter (with the surface skimmer that I desperately need) overflowed and flooded my room (there are still damp spots on the carpet gdi), it got water into the dresser, too, so I've spent the last few days doing a SHIT TON of laundry and then leaving the drawers open to finish drying properly. I have piles of laundry all over my room atm. But in DOING all that laundry I've found a bunch of clothes that no longer fit me, and I really have no chance in hell of EVER getting back into them, even if I DO manage to lose some of this PCOS/NAFLD weight. I'll never be as skinny as I was ten years ago. So, a couple of (small) bags of clothes are going to Valu Village some time soon-ish, including some pieces that I absolutely love and hate to part with. This whole medical weight thing really sucks. :(

For the last few months, Mom had been sleeping like 20 hours a day and I've commented on it a couple of times, and finally asked her to please talk to Dr. K about it next time she's in because I'm really getting concerned, but she says she's just bored. Apparently when she gets bored she gets sleepy, which I don't personally understand, but okay. I'm like... so do stuff. All she does is sit on the couch all day watching TV. If you're BORED read from your kindle, or do a puzzle, or whatever... I know she would rather be OUTSIDE doing things, but she can't exactly garden right now, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to do INSIDE. I'm sorry that Lee insists on watching the same three shows over and over and over again, but like, you have to be proactive, too. Maybe I should teach her how to make candles or jewelry or something, I dunno.

Only 18 days until I get to see Dr. K and can ask her about upping my ADHD meds, as well as SO MANY questions about NAFLD and PCOS, and why the fuck they can't check PCOS without an internal vaginal ultrasound NOW, when I was diagnosed with the condition via a REGULAR ultrasound 20 years ago?? I also need to talk to her about my CRIPPLING BACK PAIN whenever I lift something or twist the wrong way (hint: pretty much ever way is the wrong way) or bend over or do basically anything. I need muscle relaxants or painkillers or SOMETHING so help with the situation because the scoliosis is REAL.

I have a bunch of buttons I want to make for The Walking Dead, quotes and stuff, but I need to download the proper sized template from Vograce so I can do them, and I have to get my Etsy store back up and running now that the postal strike is over. Soon I'll have a bunch more Wiggly Foxes to post, not that the ones I already have posted are selling or anything. I need to take more pics of them, though, because now Etsy's algorithm doesn't even show listings in searches if they have less than two pictures, which is stupid.

Honestly, my entire Etsy journey so far has been frustrating... I know my stuff is good, and worth what I'm asking for it, and would do GREAT at a con or actual market, but on Etsy it all just sits and collects dust. It's frustrating and disheartening because I put a lot of effort into the pieces that I put up for sale. I think buttons might sell better, though, I just have to get off my duff and post them. =/

Last night and this morning I finally managed to finish Teeth, which turned out 39 pages and 18,345 words long. I think it's the longest HH et al one-shot so far, which is funny because it's directly followed by Nightingale, which is the SHORTEST one so far. Next up is Temper Tantrums and then Hunting Souls and then I think Shrike? I'm starting to lose track, there are so many of them.

I still need to edit Ghost In The Machine, Pinfeathers and now Teeth, though. I've done a rough edit of When Lightning Strikes and Nightingale, but I should probably go over them again. I can't print hard copies right now because I have no ink atm though, which sucks. I can buy more closer to the end of the month, so in like a week or so.

But I promised myself I would work on TKA some more once I finished Teeth, at least 10,000-->15,000 words worth, so that's what I'm going to do before I move on to Temper Tantrums. I really want to get TKA finished and edited so I can try to get a book agent for it and see if I can get it published. That's the dream, anyway, but idk if anyone else will like my writing as much as I do. So.

Last night I moved everything out of my room so I could vacuum and then moved it all back in and my back only hated me A LOT for it, but it really needed to be done. If I didn't do anything that upset my health issues I would never do anything at all. So my floor is nice and clean and will stay that way for like... a day. Before the birds have it covered with feathers and stuff again. Sigh.

I couldn't find my wolf charms or my bails for doing one of my brother's Christmas gifts because my organization system is not so much of a system as it is SHOVE EVERYTHING ON THE SHELVES AND HOPE IT DOESN'T FALL OFF, and I ordered more charms from aliexpress but now the postal workers have gone on strike (AGAIN) so I have no idea when I'll be getting them, so I'm ordering (more expensive) ones off Amazon instead. Some bails, too, which were shockingly cheaper on Amazon than on ebay where I normally get them. But again, I can't afford to buy them until next week.

Today I have an appointment with Dr. K and I for serious have to talk to her about this whole NAFLD thing, as well as the side-effects I'm having from my breztri and possibly getting an increase in my baclofen because the less OTC muscle relaxants I can take the better. OTC ones have acetaminophen in them, which is bad for the NAFLD, and sometimes I can actually feel it in my liver when I take acetaminophen. Not really pain, but discomfort. It makes me nervous.

Tonight I'm going to try to get all the blue (and maybe some of the pink) painted on the Wiggly Foxes that I'm making for my brother for Christmas. That and I have to clean the axolotl tank again, but that's normal for my nowadays. Kaida, Haku and Ryuu keep me busy.

Oh, and tonight is my night for making dinner but I literally have no idea what I'm going to make so there's that. :|

I started working on Storm Season last night because I decided there's no point in writing one of the follow-up one-shots first (even if I want to), since I would probably have to go back and re-write most of it after I finished Storm Season anyway. So, Like Feathers Softly is on hold for the time being.

Anyway, I'm about 12 pages into Storm Season now? I had already taktaktak-ed out a couple pages of it earlier, but then I got distracted with the post-Horror High one-shots and it went by the wayside for a while.

The very beginning of Storm Season parallels the first episode of S4 of SPN in a lot of ways, and I was writing it from memory and decided I should download that episode and watch it again to get everything straight... but I couldn't find just S4Ep1 to download, so I ended up having to download the entirety of S4 again. I was honestly surprised that the download went through and didn't stop halfway because my hard drive ran out of space. I need to go through and delete some movies or something again. :|

But I don't know if Storm Season is going to be as long as Horror High ended up being (10 chapters, 167 pages), it might be more like 5 chapters instead. Then again, once I really get writing who knows what could happen? Horror High was SUPPOSED to be like a 10-->15 page one-shot, SO I MEAN?? Just from where I'm standing now, though, Storm Season could almost just be a long one-shot, but I don't want it to be just another one-off like the rest of them, since it's plot has so much more meaning. I'm working on it. I think I just need to pace myself better, I've just gotten into the beat of writing one-shots again (albeit long ones) and now I need to get back into the flow of writing a longer fics, you know?

As for my other writing... I'm still working on my notes for Sins Of Angels and Scarlet Letters (formerly Red Letters), and I need to poke Poe about some things in regards to Willoughby and Eden for Ghosts Of Nameless Stars. I still have TKA open in Word but it's just staring at me because I've been so focused on fan projects lately. I really need to get back into original stuff again, honestly, but I feel like I'm not going to be able to until I finish the Horror High (et al) cycle. My brain just won't let it go.

I used to have like 20 tabs open in Word and bounce around between all of them but get very little done in any particular one, so to curb that I closed most of them, but I left the above mentioned ones open, as well as two SPN Witcher AU ones, Rewarding Heroism, which is NSFW Lambden and the next one in the series after Don't You Forget About Me, and also Wayward Sons, which is an ACTUAL CROSSOVER with SPN and has Sam, Dean and Cas cameo in it. Wayward Sons is going to be longer than the other SPN Witcher AU fics, probably by a lot, and so far writing it has been a good time. Jaskier's interactions with Cas and Geralt's interactions with Dean are fun. Sam is his sarcastic self. Geraskier, obviously. No ACTUAL Destiel but definite unsubtle hints at it.

I kind of want to write another actual crossover that has Garth cameo because I fucking LOVE Garth but I haven't thought of a good story idea for that, yet. I'm thinking on it.

Other than that...

I was powering my way through a total SPN rewatch, and I got through EIGHT SEASONS in record time (about 4-->5 episodes a day, ish) but then I got to S9 and three episodes in my brain just went "SOMETHING ELSE PLEASE" so for the last week or so I've been watching other things, crime documentaries, movies, etc. and listening to the Canadian True Crime podcast, to give my brain a break from the constant SPN barrage... she says while simultaneously writing like 120 pages of Destiel fic in the last weeks as well. Haha.

Last night I finished my Nonbinary Cabbage Dog and sealed it with MSC so it's official, it's done! It only took me eight months and a ton of misery. But things are getting better now, and I'm sending a small parcel to Poe at the end of the week with some Loops earplugs and one or two other things in it, and I wanted to include the Nonbinary Cabbage Dog, since I customized it for them to begin with. I think it turned out really cute, and I really hope they like it. But I'm going to tell them if they don't want it to go ahead and sell it on their Etsy, I really don't mind.

I also worked on my Rainbow Dash wiggly fox a bit last night. I have no idea how I'm going to paint the Cutie Mark on such a tiny thing my with shaky hands. Maybe I'll just leave it off and it can be Rainbow Dash Adjacent instead. I also got a good start on my Starry Void wiggly fox, though I fucked up one of the ears a little because my hand shook at the last minute so I need to touch that up with acetone. Basically now all I need to do for him is touch-ups and to paint on all his stars. He's going to look really good. I can't list them on my Etsy until I have the boxes to ship them, though...

Right now I have wiggly fox boxes in my uline shopping cart and kraft padded envelopes in my ebay shopping cart (as well as a book; The Trees Grew Because I Bled Here, Poe recommended it to me) and a bunch of stuff in my Amazon cart (including PRINTING PAPER I AM GOING THROUGH SO MUCH OF IT LATELY OMG) but I can't actually BUY any of it until Friday. So I'm just... biding my time. Waiting to pounce.

Yesterday I was in IMMENSE pain in my back, knees and hands from working on the basement all day Sunday, but I feel (mostly) better today so I'm going to try to get the 40 gallon aquarium cleaned out the rest of the way so I can immediately break my back filling it back up with water. I need to get it cycling so I can put plants into it, hopefully on Friday if Petsmart still has them in. Fingers crossed on that one.

On Friday I also have to try to get some terracotta pots from the dollar store for the tank, assuming they still have them in. I don't THINK they'll have packed them up yet by then but the fall stuff is already sneaking into stores (not a complaint!) so I'm going "I just need two terracotta pots, please still be there!!" lol.

I started reading Wilder Girls yesterday after I finished the episode of the podcast I was listening to, and even only a chapter-and-a-half in, it's REALLY good. I can tell I'm going to really enjoy this book, it's going to become one of my favorites. It's very unique and different, but the writing is so nice and flows so smoothly... I dunno, I just really like it. I couldn't read for too long, though, since I'm still getting used to reading with my new glasses and my eyes started to hurt pretty quickly. Boo.

Finally, yesterday I did all the addressing on my postcards for Friday so now I just need to write the messages tonight and tomorrow. I also wrote an entire card for Poe to include in her parcel and my hand was almost crippled. TENDONITIS IS A REAL THING, MAN.

Well I thoroughly scared the shit out of Em and Rosie but I got their cage all nice and sparkly clean, and even gave them a treat stick to make up for the trauma. They've settled down again. Tonight I have to fill up all the seed dishes and they'll freak out again (so will Winter and Shield) but for now I'm giving them a reprieve.

I haven't gotten my candle made yet but I did work on my Nonbinary Cabbage Dog a little, even though my hands are still shaking like I'm on speed. Using a detail brush makes it easier. It takes longer to do the PAINTING but at least the mistakes are much smaller when I make them and easier to fix. I'm trying to get it finished so I can include it in the parcel I'm sending to Poe at the end of the month. I started it for them and it was meant for them, so I really want them to have it. They can sell it if they don't want it, or even throw it out, I guess, as the case may be. I'm going to include that point in the letter I send along with the parcel.

I'm planning to do other LGBTQA+ cabbage dogs in the future, too. I currently have two base cabbage dogs to work with. I want to do a rainbow one next, or maybe a pansexual one? I haven't decided. I need to order more of them so I can do more of the spectrum but FREAKING aliexpress won't let me login to my normal account right now so I have to try to find them all over again from scratch. Blegh.

Mom just came in to tell me that she and Lee are driving to Barrie to pick Grandma up, not because she did a jailbreak from the retirement home but because apparently her blood pressure has been SUPER HIGH all day so they took her to RVH, and now she's stuck there. Mom and Lee have to go pick her up and take her back home, then drive all the way back to Orillia again.

They said they'd buy me a burger on the way home, so I'm happy at least. My jaw doesn't hurt as much today and I miss REAL FOOD, DAMMIT. Also Whoppers from BK are my favorite. I'm a trash person, what. :|

EDIT: Also, still working on the Rainbow Dash wiggly fox. Foxes that need the rainbow tails are a pain and always take forever. I'm hoping it's ears will be easier? My plan for them SHOULD be easier, just very finely detailed. Then it's just the white on the inner ears and underside and pooooooossibly the feet? I haven't decided on that one yet. I guess we'll see.
senashenta: (Babbling Babbling Babbling)
Been on the bus for 12 hours, which is much better than 26 the first year I came down to the States. I slept most of the trip this time anyway, since I didn't sleep the night before. Had too much to do; in the afternoon I took the town bus to Mom's place to do laundry, and when Mom got off work she had a coffee and then we went to my apartment to start organizing and moving the animals. Somehow, though spacial magic I only partially understand, we managed to fit everything in only two trips with Mom's little car. We were channeling Houdini or something, idk. So we settled the rabbits and cats at their temporary home in Mom's basement and then had dinner, after which we went back out so I could pick up rabbit/cat litter and a couple other misc. odds-and-sods that I needed to before I left. After that we went back so I could finish my laundry and then Mom took me home.

With the cats out from underfoot, I took the opportunity to clean and vacuum the house. YAY CLEAN FLOORS AND STUFF. I also did some baking; Broken Glass Torte for Dad (does that count as baking? XD;) and fruit loaf as well. It started off as banana bread to use up the bananas before I left, then I ended up adding pineapple, then cherries, then coconut. Then I realized I didn't have any flour. *facepalm* So I had to improvise and used my Magic Bullet to make corn and oat flour instead. It worked fine, just took less time to bake through and didn't rise as much as if I'd used white flour. So whatever. I made four loaves, so I took one to Mom and brought one with me for Dad and Lois as well. Baking done, I did the dishes, then continued cleaning. Then at like 3am I finally started packing for my trip. xD; Way to procrastinate, right? I know, I know.

Anyway, packing took FOREVER as usual, especially since it took me an entire hour to decide which beads I was going to bring with me. >>; Last year I managed to limit myself to like four boxes, plus a box of charms/pendants and a box of findings. Um. Yeah. This year? Like twelve boxes of beads, plus a big box of charms, a big box of pendants, and three boxes of findings. I fail, what can I say? I also had to pack Maddie and Chloe's Christmas and Birthday presents that I never got around to mailing. Because I also fail at THAT, too. So like half of my luggage this time is made up of stuff that I brought down for them. Then there's my cosplay stuff as well. I actually pack very light for ME, it's just that I can't go anywhere without bringing copious amounts of STUFF for other people and projects. ^_^;

So, having not slept a wink all night, Dad picked me and my luggage up atound 9am. We went out to the res for him to get smokes, then back into town so I could stop at Mom's and drop of my keys (so that she can get into my apartment to feed Genbu and Aya and the fish) and her vacuum (which I had borrowed the night before.) She and Lee were up, so I said a quick goodbye to them and then we were on our way. The trip from Orillia to Georgetown was mostly uneventful. Except for the massive detour because of an earlier car accident on the highway, our brakes almost going out because of sitting on them so much in stop-and-go-traffic, and a short stop at Toys R' Us in Mississagua. TOYS. YAY. Dad found something for his Star Wars collection, and I got come LPS for my own, as well as some animal erasers because SO CUTE OMG SQUEE. I also wanted a Transformers Ravage figure, but I managed to resist. Mostly by reminding myself that anything I bought there I would have to haul down to the US and back again lol.

Oh, note to self: 12th line outside of Orillia? FUCKING FULL TO BURSTING WITH CRAB APPLES. GET MOM TO TAKE YOU OUT THERE IN SEPTEMBER.

At the kennel, there was a little Lang family get together for one of Lois' granddaughters' birthday. It was slightly awkward for me to be there, but they were all nice to me. I did get some weird looks from the kids, though, since they had never met me before. Plus my hair cut is totally like a dude's now. But in general it was fine. After they left I got to talk with Lois some, which I always enjoy. But around 7 I HAD to lie down for a nap. I just hit the wall and couldn't keep going. My body was suddenly like "I QUIT". So I crashed on the living room couch for two hours. Then at 9pm I got back up so we could get underway.

Dad and Lois have accuired some dogs who aren't poms in the last year. First was Maggie, a pug/boxer cross that Lois' mother bought and then decided she didn't want, so Lois offered to take her. Then there was Lucy, a little Jack Russell who is really thin and lankey compared to most Jacks. Then a couple months ago they got another Jack, Sadie, who was half-starved and hadn't had any real affection or anything in her entire life. The pics from the day they first picked her up are just sad; she was so thin her ribs and spine stuck out. Poor thing. But she's all chubby and happy now, so it's all good. While Lucy has attached herself to Lois, Sadie has adopted Dad. And Dad is absolutely head-over-heels in love with her. But to be fair, Sadie is the suckiest, most friendly, affectionate little dog you could ever imagine. <3

Anyway, since the market for poms isn't great right now and the market for Jacks is still decent, they decided to give a litter of Jacks a try, so they went out and found a male, Max, who is the newest addition to the pack. Sort of. Because he's unaltered he has to stay in the kitchen and can't run with the girls or EVERYONE would be pregnant, including every human leg who happened too close. lol. Max is a sweetheart, but a little excitable. In more than one way. Haha. They plan to try breeding him to Maggie next year for some cross pups, and then Lucy the year after that. Sadie won't be old enough to breed safely for a couple of years yet, but she's the one that they're really looking forward to getting puppies from since her personality is so perfect. I guess we'll see!

Right now they have one litter of tiny itty bitty pom puppies that are RIGHT AT THE EPITOME OF CUTENESS. Two blacks, a cream (with siamese-like points and some white markings) and an orange-sable. (Their mother is black; idk about their father. It was this pairing that spawned the Parti Poms earlier this year.) They're maybe two weeks old, can see and hear and toddle around a little, but are generally just chubby round little poofy things that lay around with tubby milk!bellies and kind of resemble miniscule bear cubs. SO FREAKING ADORABLE. And they're all friendly as hell, and their mom has no trouble letting you reach in to pet them. Which is good because I spent a good amount of time smishing me some little pups and cooing at them and letting them suck on my nose and chin. X3 Dad says he'll take some pics so I can share. You guys. Seriously. You can't even comprehend the level of OMGCUTE!!1! these dogs are without seeing them. I WILL SHARE, AND YOU WILL SQUEE YOURSELVES TO DEATH I SWEAR.

If they weren't way too young to be sepparated from their mom, I would have been seriously tempted to try smuggling one of them out in my pocket. Heh.

Anyhow, around 9pm Dad and I took off and drove into Toronto so I could catch my bus. We even only got a tiny bit lost! And when we got to the terminal Dad hung around with me until it was time for my bus to board, then he headed home. He did call a few minutes later, though, just to make sure I was on board and on my way fine. Then the 12 hour ride commenced, but to be honest I only remember about 1/4 of it because it was dark and the bus was moving and I just fell asleep.

Ugh, US customs was a pain in the ass this year. And yet at the same time, managed to be really polite and friendly about it. It was weird.

First, the guy almost didn't let me into "his country" because of my passport photo. That one I had anticipated being a problem, since my passport photo was taken back when I was 260+ pounds. I've lost over a hundred pounds AND cut all my hair off since I had it taken, so it doesn't really look like me anymore. But eventually he decided the photo was workable, he just highly reccommended that I get a new one before next summer. Then he balked because I only have $300 US cash on me. WELL WHAT? I have more money, just not IN CASH ON MY PERSON. JEEZ. He was like "how are you going to support yourself while you're down there? $300 won't even feed one person for a whole month!" but I explained about the money situation and staying with friends and etc etc etc and he finally gave in... only to ask if I "had something to be nervous about". Because my hands were shaking. *FACEPALM*

I told him it was because of blood sugar, because that was esier than explaining that I SHAKE LIKE A CHIHUAHUA ON SPEED. ALL THE TIME. FOR NO REASON. So, that sorted... he wanted to know if I had any reason to return to Canada. I was like "...bwuh?" But apparently, because I'm not working, he was concerned I was going to just, yanno, STAY in the US and not go back to Canadaland. Forever. So what proof did I have that I would be going home after the trip? We finally decided that my family and pets were relatively decent reasons. At which point he demanded to know about Maddie and Chloe's home and job statuses, and expressed concerns for me being able to support myself (AGAIN) since neither of them has a full-time job. ASDGH. I was starting to get frustrated by then. I mean really, really frustrated.

I just smiled anyway.

But I finally did get out of there and on to baggage check, which is always interesting because of the weird shit I bring with me for cosplay and stuff. At least the baggage checkers usually get a laugh or two out of it. They take their jobs seriously, but not nearly as seriously as the guys asking the initial questions. =/ In any case, the guy checking my bags only had a problem with my snacks. He took my apple, my cherries, and my cherry tomatoes. Boooooo. But oh well. They're easily replaceable. And he didn't even make a mess of my bags like most customs guys do. I didn't have to reorganize anything at all! (...until later when my backpack kicked the bucket. Then I had to transfer my lunch stuff into another bag and just chucked the backpack in the trash. It was a dollar store one anyway, so meh.)

So, that done, back on the bus and on with the trip! ...so basically, more sleeping. lmao.

At Detroit, though, I had a stopover for an hour until my next bus came in. I got to talking to one of the girls that had been on the last bus and was going to be on the next one. Tyra was super nice and we got along great. So we chatted for the rest of the stopover and then on the bus some before both of us decided we needed to sleep some more. She got off two stops before I got off in Dayton, but we exchanged info so we can get ahold of each other later. ^^ That was once thing about the first year I came down here; I met that girl, Z, on the bus, and we got along great, but I forgot to get her email. I still kind of regret that. =/

But, all in all, it was a pretty good trip. I got in here at Dayton around 1pm and have been waiting for Maddie and Chloe while I've been writing this entry. Maddie had a test to do or whatever so they couldn't be here to meet me when I got in. But that's fine. I have Squall with me, so I've kept busy, and they're on their way now. Should be here any minute! ...and Squall is yelling at me that his battery is low. And I have to go to the bathroom. So I guess I'm done this journal. XD;;
senashenta: (In And Out Of My Mind)
Today thusfar has been pretty average. Not much is going on, though I let Juna and Tia out of the back room this afternoon, so now I have to police them to make sure they don't go overboard and mess up their incision sites. >>; This is INCREDIBLY hard to do in Tia's case. Having been cooped up in the back room since Friday has left her BOUNCING OFF THE FREAKING WALLS. *facepalm*

Though right at the moment she's snoozing. I guess she's worn herself out for now. Crap I spoke too soon, now she's getting up again. DX

I have some chores that need done today, mostly cleaning the back room up and sweeping/mopping/vacuuming, now I'm kind of procrastinating over them. idk, I just don't feel like doing chores today. :P They DO need to be done though, so I guess once I'm done watching Criminal Minds I'll get on it. Le sigh.

Some time this week I also have to get off my duff and finish up my Christmas gifts for my online friends too. Which reminds me:

I NEED ADDRESSES FROM ALMOST EVERYONE! MESSAGE ME HERE OR EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! 8D

Yeah. So. I guess that's about it for now. I'm so proud of myself for actually posting journal entries lately. I think I'm starting to finally get back into the swing of things with LJ. Took long enough! lol. ♥
senashenta: (Procrastinators Unite)
Ugh, I feel like such a zombie lately. My brain just isn't working right. It rather sucks actually. But anyway, I've procrastinated over updating my journal for long enough, I figure I should maybe actually, yanno, do it. Numbers to help me keep my thoughts organized, though everything's not really in any particular order. ♥

1) The cats have fleas. UGH. I have literally never had a flea outbreak in my house (despite the number of critters) and I'm seriously not pleased with it. In fact, it fucking sucks. The only saving grace is that they haven't gotten to the rabbits. Yet. I've tried practically everything to get rid of them, too; I flea bathed them all, gave them over-the-counter flea drops, gave them Vet prescription flea drops (which cost a fortune, btw), and then tried a flea spray (I treated the entire apartment as well.) Finally, in a last-ditch effort it was recommended that I shave them all down and do the flea spray again when they were nekkid, as there was a possibility that the spray wasn't getting all the way through their fur.

So! I went out and purchased an electric shaver (technically marketed for dogs, but whatever) for freaking $50 +tax. I figure at least I can use it on them every year in the spring to lessen the shedding epidemic when it starts getting warm. I can also use it on Pagan, since he's my only long-haired bun and tends to get mats on his underside at random intervals for no apparent reason and no matter how often I brush/groom him. Anyway.

I know my cats, and I knew that Loki was going to be the hardest one to do since he's such a nervous kitty. I decided to do him first to get him out of the way, and also because I figured that if I did him later he would find somewhere to hide as soon as he knew what was happening. What I didn't figure on was my lovely, cuddly, affectionate Loki-boy going ABSOLUTELY FUCKING POSTAL. .__.;

Mom and my brother were helping to hold him, and as soon as I turned the clippers on he WENT INTO A TERROR-INDUCED HOMICIDAL FREAK OUT. I knew he was going to be nervous and a little scared just like he is with anything new, but WHAT. THE. FUCK. It was like trying to hold down a MOUNTAIN LION, right down to the insane amount of personal injury; Mom got bitten a half dozen times on her hands, my brother got seriously MAULED from the elbow down on BOTH arms, and my left leg was mauled and he bit right through the nail on my right hand, completely severing it. Then this past Monday I went to the doctor's and Dr. K had a look and is pretty sure not only did he fuck my nail up but the crushing injury was so severe that he managed to actually break the tip of my finger bone off. So of course, my hand is taking IONS to heal and still hurts like a fucking bitch nearly two weeks later. ~__~;; Sooo...

All three of us trouped to the hospital when it happened and got antibiotics and Mom and my bro got tetanus shots since theirs weren't up to date. Fun times with the family, huh? So that was the adventure with trying to shave Loki, who is still not shaved and who will never be, short of drugging him into a coma beforehand. Haha. Neko, Juna and Tri are all 3/4 naked now, though, and with them the worst that happened was that Tri puffed his tail at me while I was doing it. Now I just need Mom to help me treat them with the spray again. Cross your fingers for me that it, you know, works this time. Because if it doesn't I'm out of options short of building little cabins and inviting the fleas to move in for life.

IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR THINGS I HAVEN'T TRIED YET, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

Haha, and then the hospital reported the "attack" (by law they have to) so the Health Unit called to talk with me and put Loki on quarantine for ten days just in case. This of course made me lol because whatever, he's a house cat anyway. XD He's officially off quarantine now though.

Loki and I have since made up, of course. :)

Moving on!

2) Today I got some catnip for the pride and sprinkled it down on the carpet in the living room. This is something I do on a regular basis, but it was particularly amusing this time because it's the first time Tia has been exposed to it. OMFG she was hilarious! I giggled at her for like half an hour while she zoomed around and rolled in it and licked the carpet and was generally all =OwO= It was really adorable. ♥

3) Aya finally shed! I'd had him for two months and nothing, even though the pet store peeps said all the rest of the ball pythons from his clutch did the week I got him. When I got home from the US he still hadn't shed and I was starting to get a little concerned. But then last week his pattern started to fade and his eyes clouded over. YAY. A few days later I peeked in the terrarium and the old skin was balled up in the corner by his hidey rock. ^^ I was hoping it would be straight so I could take a pic, but oh well. And he had been really lethargic since two weeks before I left for my vacation, but now he's all energetic again. Or at least as energetic as a snake can be. ^_~

4) Due to massive injuries and seriously excessive pain, I've spent the last two weeks unable to do pretty much any cleaning around here aside from sweeping a bit. I normally sweep/vacuum/mop/dust every couple of days, and not being able to do it was driving me nuts; the floor and carpets were a disaster, dishes (which I also do every couple of days) were piling up... last week I couldn't even clean out the rabbit/rat cages, which I HATED because it meant my poor babies had icky living conditions for a whole week.

Luckily, the last couple of days the pain has subsided a bit; not much, but enough that I could vacuum the place and do a few dishes (not all of them because my finger started throbbing again halfway through) and tonight I managed to finagal my way through cleaning all the cages out. YAYZ! Now I don't feel guilty and like a terrible Mom anymore. Whew.

Also got my bathroom tidied and reorganized, which it's needed for ages.

5) Today I took a wander downtown. It was nice out, just a little cool so I got to wear my (faux) leather jacket, which fits me again whoo! I went to the dollar store for a gift bag for a Christmas gift that I've already got 90% finished and a new shower curtain (I have to replace it every couple months because the cats like to play with them and trash them in the process), then went to Salon Salon and got my eyebrows waxed because they really really needed it. I also picked up the bulk order of eyepins I ordered from Magpie Beads like two months ago.

Speaking of which... MAGPIE BEADS IS CLOSING!! DDD8 They're moving to Barrie! They're the only bead store in town and they're leaving meeeeee! *WEEPS*

Right. So after that I had to go across town to pick up some prescriptions, and while I was around there I went into the Dollarama; got some odds and ends, mostly for other people lol. Then I went to Blockbuster to look at previously viewed movies... and they were having a huge sale on them. I got eleven movies for just over forty bucks! ASDGH! I may have had a little mental flail. XD

I picked up Terminator: Salvation, Battle for Terra, Drag Me to Hell, Zombieland, The Rundown (my Rock movie collection is ever expanding! X3), The Patriot, The Alphabet Killer, Swarmed, The Black Hole, Dragonball Evolution (out of morbid curiosity; and it only cost me $3) and Ghost Machine, which I'm watching right now. ♥

And the sale is on until Oct 3rd, so Imma go back for a few more when I get my money at the end of the month. I'm gonna try to sell some stuff in the meantime to make up for it. Hehehehe new movies make me happy. :3

6) Other than picking up some DVDs, I've seem some newer movies lately too. I'm partway through Predators, which is turning out to be fun. I won't have a concrete opinion on it until I've watched it all though. Wish I could find a better copy online... maybe I'll just wait until it comes out on DVD and pick it up to finish watching it.

Piranha 3D; I didn't watch it in 3D, obviously, but... OMFG. It was AWESOME. >3!! Prehistoric piranha + spring break = fucking fun times! I was a little surprised how gory it was, actually. Not that it bothered me since I'm already so desensitized to cinema violence, but about halfway through it just suddenly struck me that there was A LOT of gore. Go figure.

Resident Evil: Afterlife; EEEEE NEW RESIDENT EVIL MOVIE!!

The Last Exorcism; This one started out really slowly, and I almost gave up on it. It did get really interesting about halfway through, though, and was quite good from then on. The only thing I disliked was that it was filmed like a documentary (like The Blair Witch Project or Cloverfield), and I'm not overly fond of that way of filming. But it was good for what it was.

I just saw a preview for this movie, too, and it looks amazing and creepy and I really want to see it:



7) I have packages for the following peeps, which I swear I'll be mailing out soon. No really. Steph & Reppy, Lome, Kiin-bb, Maddie & Chloe and Mari. ♥

[livejournal.com profile] kierseth, [livejournal.com profile] etcetera_cat and [livejournal.com profile] cat_mcdougall. HEY YOU GUYS. We haven't done a proper P.O.S. exchange in forever! Want to organize one again? ^_^

8) Dad is coming up later this week to stop in for a visit. He's picking up his and Lois' souvenirs and the movies I borrowed from him last time I was down back in May. He's also bringing me a bunch more b-grade movies to replace them, which makes me happy because, I mean, B-GRADE MOVIES WUT. xD

I'm thinking about asking if I can go back with him to visit for a couple of days. I told him I'd help him go through the rest of Aunt Cheryl's stuff in the barn, and I want to get that done before it gets too cold out. Plus I'd just like to visit with him and Lois and the dogs a bit. I don't get to do that often enough. =/

9) I had an appointment in Toronto with the dietitian a couple weeks back. I have to go every 3-4 months for a checkup and bloodwork. I'm told my weight loss is going very well and I'm perfectly on track for where I should be (I've lost 80lbs since Feb 26th), so probably by February I'll be down to about my target weight of 130-140lbs. The only thing is that they're concerned I'm not getting enough protein in my diet, so I'm supposed to try having more in the way of cheese/eggs/etc. *shrug*

Anyhoo, the dietitian called today and left a message regarding the results of my bloodwork; my iron is low, so she wants me to go on iron supplements daily (I normally only take them when I'm on my period) and my vitamin C was really low which makes no sense considering the amount of vitamin C rich fruits and drinks I eat but she wants me to take vitamin C pills too. She also noted that my white blood cell count was high, but at the time they took the blood I was just getting over a bad cold so that doesn't surprise me.

10) Yesterday I took my camera and did a video tour of my apartment to post on FB for people, since I apparently fail at posting pics despite peeps on my f-list there and here asking for them. >>; But then I got carried away and it ended up way too long, so when I tried to upload it it didn't work. *facepalm* Guess I'm doing another one tomorrow. A shorter one. lol.

11) Been rewatching House on DVD; the first five seasons. I just finished yesterday. The season 4 finale made me bawl like a baby. AGAIN. ~_~;

12) Back when I was down in Dayton I was supposed to paint with Chloe, but somehow we just never got around to it. But when I got back home I still kind of had the itch to do it, so I picked up a couple of medium-sized canvasses. My first painting is maybe a third done now. Haha, I haven't painted in forever, and this is my very first painting actually on canvas! I'm really enjoying it (even though my injured hand is making things difficult) and I plan to do a few more.

Funnily enough, the first painting started off as kind of an abstract idea but has given birth to a new character/species. He doesn't have a name yet, but I think he might fit into the same world as Terra/Ilo/Celine/Aysel. I really like his design, so I plan to do more sketches of him, and maybe another larger and more detailed painting.

I'm considering doing painting for people for Christmas this year, too. Would anyone like a Sena!painting? 83

13) Mom and Lee are on vacation right now. They're coming back tomorrow; they just spent a few days off in an out of the way cabin-type place where they could both relax and everything. They really needed it, they've both been totally fried out between one thing and another. Hopefully a few days away will have helped.

In any case, I called yesterday to invite my brother over here for dinner but he had friends over. So instead we decided that I'm going over there tomorrow to visit and make supper for him and Mom and Lee when they get home. ♥

14) I NEED MONIES. $__$ Does anyone out there want a pony or jewelry commission or something? :3
senashenta: (For Now A Sandwich)
Hokay! Doing a bunch of cleaning today (and tomorrow) so that my apartment is as clean and tidy as possible when I leave for Mom's tomorrow night. (I'm staying at her place overnight and then in the morning we're leaving for the hospital.) Still have some stuff to do, but the kitchen floor is all scrubbed and the main room has been swept out really well. Did the dishes and need to clean the bathroom and vacuum the back room thoroughly still.

Tonight I'm also doing the rest of my packing for my time at the hotel and then the couple weeks I'll be spending at Mom's when I get back to Orillia. It's a pain having to pack three different bags. I know I'm going to forget some things. ~_~;;
senashenta: (Blue Hearts Bunny)
The sun is coming up and I'm still watching movies. Bah. I fail at, yanno, sleep. And stuff. Basically I've been up all night doing chores that were put off the last few days, with movies on in the background just for the company. Fun times.

Also, for some reason Z's clock is a day ahead. He's insisting it's a day later than it actually is. And that screwed me up royally for about six hours last night. ~_~;; idk, I guess I'll reset the clock? Hm. Silly laptop. <3

And omg. ;~~; My paid account and userpics expired! And I don't have the money to renew them! So if anyone wants to get m3 a present for Christmas/my birthday, I would love love love love a paid account and more userpics. The lack of pics and stupid banner ads are already driving me crazy. D:

Now, since I'm sure I've missed a few Christmas Card posts on my f-list. So basically, I WANT CHRISTMAS CARDS! FROM EVERYONE OMG! AND I WANT TO SEND CARDS TO PEOPLE TOO! So! My address is under the cut (remember I've moved, so if you have my old address you need this one instead) and leave your address in a comment if you want me to send a card to you. <3

Sena's Address )

I guess you could send birthday cards too, since my birthday is so close after Christmas. ._.

Anyway, comments are screened of course~

EDIT: Um, yeah, I need like EVERYONE'S addresses again. They were all on Tempest and he is currently out of commission. I need to gather them again in a big file folder on Z now. ~_~;
senashenta: (We Be DORKY Today)
xtheleadingmanx (9:16:52 PM): Then I just need a nice comfy hoodie and a haircut and I'll be stylin'.
SenashentaChan (9:17:02 PM): lol yeah
xtheleadingmanx (9:17:14 PM): I'll be HIP.
xtheleadingmanx (9:17:17 PM): It'll rock.
SenashentaChan (9:17:25 PM): XD;;;
SenashentaChan (9:17:43 PM): I can't be hip because all my stuff is packed away.
xtheleadingmanx (9:17:50 PM): Aww.
SenashentaChan (9:18:04 PM): Plus, when I try I just end up falling on my face, and that somewhat cancels it out. 8D
xtheleadingmanx (9:18:29 PM): Ahaha!
xtheleadingmanx (9:18:37 PM): XD Yeah, I guess that's true.
xtheleadingmanx (9:18:49 PM): But it's not like you spend all day falling off buses, right?
SenashentaChan (9:19:01 PM): No, generally not.
SenashentaChan (9:19:14 PM): But like, down the stairs or out of the shower, yeah. XD;
xtheleadingmanx (9:19:23 PM): Ouch! Down the stairs?!
SenashentaChan (9:19:38 PM): Yeah, I do that on a regular basis.
SenashentaChan (9:19:44 PM): Or UP the stairs, which is even more epic. SenashentaChan (9:20:10 PM): I win at stairs faceplants. XD;
xtheleadingmanx (9:20:40 PM): It's like you have a degree in falling. *giggle* It's kind of charming.
SenashentaChan (9:21:06 PM): Charming is not a word I've heard used to describe it before. XD;;
xtheleadingmanx (9:21:59 PM): Well, it's like "Oh, she has an interesting quirk."
xtheleadingmanx (9:22:07 PM): I know nobody else that does this.
SenashentaChan (9:23:24 PM): I'm somewhat... flighty. Like, I don't pay attention to what I'm doing. Which I'm told really contradicts my intelligence. xD;
SenashentaChan (9:23:31 PM): Plus sometimes I just get too excited.
SenashentaChan (9:23:48 PM): Like a puppy that runs into a glass door on the way outside. >>;;

Oh AIMchats ILU. What is with all the awesome conversations lately? Or maybe I just find them more amusing than they actually are because I'm so burnt out and stressed. xD;

Hmm. Been up for almost three hours now. Yeah, woke up at 6 and couldn't get back to sleep. So I watched some of Happy Feet (which, contrary to the impression I got from the ads, is actually a really good movie. I want the soundtrack to it.), and then did a bunch of dishes. And I mean a TON of them; I haven't done dishes in like two weeks because of being so busy with other stuff. -__-; Ew. So those are all washed, and ready to be packed away. I'll just leave like one plate/fork/spoon/knife/bowl/cup for the next couple days.

Later today I have to pack all that up, then start going through my cupboards and boxing all the food that I won't need in the next three days so it can go over to Mom's. I also need to empty out my little fridge up here and unplug it to defrost so it'll be done and dry by the time the movers come on Tuesday.

Now I'm downloading the Vampire Knight OST and watching The Lost Boys.

Note to self: Things to squee over/squee over more when you have time:

1) Tales of the Abyss anime.
2) Junjou Romantica 2.
3) Vampire Knight ~Guilty~
senashenta: (Christmas Twins)
Today has been tiring. -.-; Just a lot of running around, and me not feeling 100% on top of that. Ahh, December is always like this!

Mom and I had an appointment out of town just after one, so she picked me up around noon-ish; or at least that was the plan. She actually ended up getting to my place early because she'd picked up Lee's Christmas gift, and wanted it to be a secret so she asked if I could stash it at my place for her until Christmas Eve. lol. It's a guitar! :3

Then we went up to Gravenhurst to the Chiropractor. Normally he works on my wrists/hands and jaw, but today he couldn't do much with my jaw because it's still really sore from all the needles at the dentist on Tuesday. >>; He did, however, fix my hip, which is awesome as it's been pressure-sensitive for about a week now.

On the way home we stopped at the mall so I could look for MLP at Zellers (I still hold out the vain hope that I might actually be able to find the winter series ones without having to go on ebay), and then to the book store where I picked up some books for [livejournal.com profile] cat_mcdougall's older kidlings. (Note for Cat: I'm sending the reciept with them when I mail everything, so if they already have them or you think they're not appropriate you can take them back and buy them something else. ♥)

After the bookstore, I zipped into San Diego and found my brother's Christmas present (FINALLY!) It's a mister, you know the things you fill with water and plug in, and they make mist. I have one from last Christmas that I asked for, but his is actually way cooler. XD; It's a blue dragon looming over a pool-- you fill the pool with water, and in the middle of it is a crystal ball. *mibble* I wants it~~! lol. <3

After that, we stopped at Mom's place so I could start my laundry, then dropped Trunks off at work and made a quick side-trip to Sui-chan's place so I could drop off her Christmas present. She wasn't home, but her brother was, so he said he'd give it to her. Haha, I hadn't seen him in about five years and he's grown so much! XD;

Then we did grocery shopping, and while I was at it I bought a whole whack more Gingerbread Spice tea, because it's LOVE and I know it won't be available after Christmas time. lol. I want to send some to people in the next packages I put together, but if I can't get more next week I might not be able to. >>; I also want to send some Pumpkin Spice tea too, because it tastes/smells like pumpkin pie. XDD

Aaaand now I'm back at Mom's, waiting for my laundry to dry so she can take me home. =D;

...man, working on her computer just makes me realise how behind the times mine is. Mostly because this one has a dual processer, and mine only has a single one; plus, the one I do have has been acting up lately, and doesn't like to do pretty much anything faster than a snail's pace. Gah, if I'd known it was going to die on me like this, I would have asked for a new one for Christmas or something. D:

EDIT: ALSO! Someone help me think of a good journal name for Eiri Yuki! ><; I picked him up as my fourth character over at [livejournal.com profile] rizumikaru_yomi, but I haven't been able to do anything with him because he doesn't have a journal yet and I fail at making one. ;o;
senashenta: (Sign Me Up For B-Grade Movies)
I suck at writing in my journal lately, or even keeping up with my f-list. Sorry! I'm not sure why, I just... haven't felt like it. I guess I've been spending too much time messing around in my various rp journals to care much about my own? XD;;

I've also been doing a lot of cleaning and organising the last few days. Whoo? Everything's spangly clean now AND WTF TRITON IS TOTALLY SNORING RIGHT NOW. I can hear him all the way from across the apartment. xD;

Anyway, I've been taking photoblogging photos, but I'll post them all up soon.

Hmm. Watched Superman Returns (finally) and Final Destination 3 a couple days ago; SR was... a Superman movie in every sense of the word. Haha, I've never been really huge on Superman, because he's so cliche and goody-goody. I really like darker heroes. I'm a Batman fangirl, lol. But the special effects were excellent and in general I was pleased.

FD3 was rediculously bloody of course, and the only real reason I got it was because I already have the other two and I have a thing about sets. Plus, the DVD is like a huge Choose Your Own Adventure! Every time someone's about to die you can change a variable for a different outcome. AWESOME. For $5 it was definitely worth it. I <3 Choose Your Own Adventure movies! XDD

RP; Not much happening with Hikaru, since Kaoru's still sick and he's still worrying. Same with Demyx, everything's pretty much where it was. Zexion's letting him get a kitten and he's decided to name it Nocturne (yes shut up), and he's all \o/ because Roxas and Axel are around now too.

KYO on the other hand. BWAHAHA. Go here for 108 tags of Sephiroth/Kyo smut. No, I'm not even kidding in the least. Don't ask. We are highly amused.

Other than the Seph/Kyo madness, he's becoming oddly popular lately. Seriously, when I picked him up I didn't think I'd really be doing much with him, and now he's spazzing over Seph, and going drinking with Renji and Ichigo, and Dante and Zelos (possibly all together, possible two different trips), and he completely didn't agree to do a photo shoot with Zelos I swear. ^_^; Ehehe...

Man, RP love.

Okay, now I'm going to be mailing the rest of my Christmas Jam packages off on Friday hopefully. I can't really afford it, but whatever. Mom's going to have to help me out with the shipping, but if I don't get them out soon they won't arrive until after Christmas. Even now I'm kind of pushing it. >>;

And now I'm off to pack up boxes and work on ponies and generally keep an eye on AIM. Yep.

SPEAKING OF CHRISTMAS! IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING, WHAT SENA WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS;

Is keychains! =3

I collect keychains, and would love one from wherever you're from! I also love just getting cards or Merry Christmas messages on the day. But if you really want to get me something, find me a cute keychain from your town/city/state/province/country/whatever. :)

senashenta: (I Swear That I Am Up To No Good)
Augh, I knew it. I had to have Tri on soft food for just over a week, and now he won't eat anything else. ><; This is why I hate giving my cats soft food! I guess it doesn't help that it's a new dry food all together, either...

So today to try to wean him onto the new stuff, I put it in his dish and then added some warm water to soften it up. I figure that way it's still soft food, but it tastes and smells like the new food he's supposed to be on.

He still just picks at it, but that's better than nothing I guess. And when he gets hungry enough he'll start eating it properly. I'm mean aren't I? :D

Other than that, I went at and did all the cages and stuff today, including completely vacuuming out the big cage for all the loose hair and whatnot between the bars (I don't do that every week) with the shop vac... then I spent an hour sneezing every ten seconds because of the fur and dust. Oh well, spangly clean bunnies again! =3

Last night I got bored so I played with Tetsuya again, I switched his eyes out to the red ones and tried on his black pants and his girly blue shirt. I need different pants to go with that one, lol. Or a skirt. XD; And I need new shoes for him, since the white ones only really match with his black and white shirt.

ANYWAY, I really love his red eyes. They're so striking with the black hair and the makeup [livejournal.com profile] aiko_yamada did. They make him look so different than the black ones do. I ended up leaving them in him after I was done fiddling and taking random pics. I guess he's just angry, haha. xD;;

Randomly, I bought underwear today and for the first time in about twelve years some of them are something other than plain white. Just because they didn't have any that were just plain white, but I'm still amused. There's a pair with polka dots and a pink plaid pair. XDD;

RP! =D

Subaru found a couple stray/orphaned kittens on his way home from work (their mother and siblings were killed by a stray dog), and Demy begged at Zexion until Zexy agreed to let him adopt one (the black one of course!) Yaten is going to adopt the other one (white!), since Subaru isn't in a position to take care of them right now. Yay. Demy's heading to the pet place to get supplies soon, so he can get the kitten from Subaru. :3

Kao is all sick, so of course Hika is fretting and panic-stricken. Kyouya's helping by getting them into his family's hospital (or something like that, lol). This isn't helping comfort Hika at all, but is anyone surprised?

And as for Kyo... >___>; Ru-mun and I are conspiring for angry!smex with him and Sephiroth in the real rp since we were so amused when it happened in AIM-verse. Thus, he's quit his job at the Blue Hydrangeas, and is working security at Shinra now. Seph is his boss. BWAHAHA. Also, right now he's talking with Ino a lot, and worrying over Zelos (though he'd never admit it), so he's gone to Zelos' place to check up on him.

I am SO FREAKING mildly amused because Kyo is seriously kind of turning out to be a whore promiscuous or however you spell that word. >>; And an uke one at that. WTF. *snigger*
senashenta: (Just Obsessed)
Wow, I think I'm having a good day. I mean, not just one where nothing terrible happened, but one that I'm actually enjoying. I can't even remember the last time I had a day like this. .__.;

I was up really early, but mostly because I went to bed early last night; I was depressed and just didn't want to deal anymore. Anyway, so I was up early and decided to get dressed and go for a walk. I headed generally in the direction of Memorial street, and ended up at the dollar store (of course) where I picked up some new paintbrushes (I'm desperately in need of them right now) and a couple of new exacto knives. Yey.

After that I walked a bit more... and ended up buying a submarine sandwich at Subway. At like 10:03 in the morning. Whatever, I hadn't had breakfast yet, so it was kind of brunch for me. And it was LOADED WITH VEGGIES. AND HAD MUSTARD. OMFGYUM I WANT ANOTHER ONE. *3* lol.

Haha, then I wandered home and ate my sub on my coffee table because I don't have an actual table. Note to self: Buy a damn breakfast table and some chairs FFS.

I chatted with Steph some. =3 I missed it lately because she's been so busy, so I'm happy I caught her. Uh... I hope I didn't screw her up with the essay though. >>;;

Then with A&E on in the background (Crossing Jordan, American Justice and Cold Case Files), I set about cleaning cages and litter boxes, sweeping, vacuuming, etc. Now I'm all done, except I have to do the windows at some point, and this place is all clean and spangly (albeit still cluttered with sale stuff and goodwill stuff. >>;)

Now I really should get around to taking the garage-boxes down to storage, but my back freaking hurts from all the stuff earlier (the cysts on my ovaries press against my spine so when I do a lot of bending and stuff it makes my back hurt), besides which I got my air conditioner put away last night so now my back window is free and open again and I have the nicest cross-breeze flowing through my apartment right now.

So blegh. I'll take the stuff down tomorrow. Today I'm done. And quite content too. I'm cool and comfy, and nursing my back a bit... and seriously kinna want another sub sandwich. wtf. xD;;

...DAMMIT HICCUPS! GO. AWAY! ><;

EDIT: Also, I got a lovely home-made postcard from [livejournal.com profile] tsukizu today. It made me smile; an actual smile, the kind that's not forced or strained. I haven't smiled like that in a long time. :)

EDIT #2: And just to make things better, I had a taco salad from Wendy's for dinner and tonight is new CSI night! \o/

senashenta: (Excuse Me... What?)
Tonight was another no-sleep-for-Sena night, but at least I've been productive. I cleaned all the cages and litter boxes and whatnot. Now everyone's spiffy clean again! *_* Though later I still have to vacuum since it's so late I'd wake Sarah up if I did it now. Not that I should care, but I'm just too nice to do that. >>;

So right now I'm drinking tomato soup from a big mug (yum!), and watching reams of The X-Files. I've watched like 9 episodes in the last day and a half or so. *squishes Mulder and Scully* =3

And now a couple of photos from the last days and today.

Photoblogging, Day 54,55,56 )

Now, around lunch today Mom's going to be picking me up and I'll be over at her place for a couple of days. She and Lee are going to spend a couple of nights out of town, so I'm going to watch the dog while they're gone.
senashenta: (Durr...)
I did pretty much nothing again today. I feel bad, I came here to keep Grandma company and everything and the last two days I've just spent sleeping... but if I don't the stupid cramps debilitate me anyway, so either way I'm not decent company...

I didn't eat breakfast or lunch today, so I forced myself to have something for dinner even though I wasn't hungry. Then after eating, I took my camera outside and took a few random photos, I guess I'll use one of those for my photo for today when I get home and can hook the camera up to the PC again.

It rained all last night and kept me awake; it would be quiet and then there'd suddenly be a DOWNPOUR... then it would end suddenly, and be quiet again. And it did that a bunch of times. >>;;

Now I'm doing a load of laundry so that everything is shiny clean for taking home tomorrow. Then I need to pack everything up and make sure I haven't forgotten anything (not that I couldn't get it again later, but you know) as Mom is going to be here around 9 tomorrow morning to pick me up.
senashenta: (ARGH!)
ghugierghagkierualgh! ><;;

I got new black paint yesterday for finishing up Zero, and instead of drying black, it dried brown... so I have to repaint all the parts I painted last night in a different colour. I guess I'm going to have to mix after all. Dammit.

Off to Mom's today. I have a headache and don't want to go, but... meh. Maybe I'll hurry and get everything done and then just catch a nap there or something until it's time to talk with Steph~

EDIT: Blegh, it took longer to get the chores done than I thought it would. Plus I took 45 minutes to put dinner together and get it on the stove. And after I'd done most of the stuff I needed to do, I watched an episode of Hellsing with my brother.

Anyway~ I'm tired. But at least my headache seems to have gone.

Here I Am

senashenta: (Boredom Kills)
I made it to Mom's today! ...and now I'm done everything I came to do, and have nothing else to occupy my time from now until when Mom gets home in about five and a half hours. XDD;;

BOREDOM KILLS PEOPLE. BOREDOM KILLS.

I'm tired, though. I didn't get much sleep last night. So I might crash on the couch for a bit. But first I'm gonna get something to eat. I should have brought some ponies to work on, but I didn't anticipate finishing everything so rediculously quickly. .__.

Also, I spent my last $2.50 on bus fare to get here, so I'm officially broke from now until the end of the month (or when my tax money comes in, which ever comes first). Yep.

And So~

Oct. 24th, 2006 10:08 pm
senashenta: (For Now A Sandwich)
Ahhh, still tired~ =.=

Oh well, not much I can do really...

I have stuff to do tomorrow, still trying to figure out my schedule.

It's mostly just things around here, but they need to be done; I have to clean animal cages (which only takes about a half an hour), and I have several cages that've been emptied out and organised lately that need to go into storage in the garage for now. And the old coffee table needs to go down there, too, but I think I'll need to get someone to help me with that...

Mmmm, I'm looking at these cages and thinking about the cute little black baby rats they have at the pet store right now... ehhhhh, I can't I can't! At least not until Yuki and Kori are gone! They're old men now and wouldn't appreciate me bringing annoying baby ratties into the house, I'm sure. >_> They'd never talk to me again. ;~; lol.

But if I get the cages moved into storage, I'll be less tempted, so it must be done.

Also dishes and stuff.

And I will be up on time to chat with Cassandra-san!! And then after that I'll chat with Kao-mun, and then we're gonna rp with Tama-mun for a bit. Which will be interesting, since it's with Suzumiya instead of Tamaki. XD;;

We will all play nice. *snort* Yeah right.
