Getting Back to “Normal”

Monday, March 15th, 2010

I’m still trying to adjust to having the computer back and having floor where there once was a gaping hole of concrete. We can’t mop that area of the floor until Easter to make sure the grout has had time to dry, which is driving me a little batty. I know that this doesn’t mean [...]

Earnings

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

It’s been a tight few weeks, given we’ve had to pay for tiling supplies and the like and try to keep up with bills when income is low due to having the computer out of commission. It’s been hard. I even debated going and begging for the gas station job back, but being in there [...]

It’s ALive!

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

So, yes, the computer is back. Not the laptop, but FrankenStan has risen from the ashes of Stan’s stroke and heart attack, after having a brain transplant and is currently readjusting and regaining at least some of his memory and data.
He runs slooooooow, but he runs and that’s all he really has to do. [...]

Drain and Sunshine

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

We’ve been having some issues over the past week, once again with the sleep disruption and just feeling more than a little drained and tetchy, it’s been a bad combination of things. The lack of computer with it’s prospects of “ruining us financially”, Max working through some rather sticky issues, and that certain time of [...]

Screwy Laptop

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

How I was someone was offering laptop keyboards as promotional items right now. The computer is going screwier, which is impeding my ability to back things up. I’m sure I’ll get it. I have to, it’s just making getting things done that I need to do before I can send it in really difficult, [...]

Excitement

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

We’re finally going to get the tiling done in the house! I’m so excited.
It has been irritating me for a while that the tile was not fixed, but especially with the prospect of another friend moving in and renting from us it was decided that the tile had to get done, because it’s just been [...]

Normalcy?

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

Thankfully there are few of my friends now who find it weird that I’m not always the most girly of girls. I imagine people who knew me in England might find it surprising as I used to be the sort who wore skirts and dresses most of the time, and I had a pink and [...]

Slice of Headspace

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

I had written this up on livejournal last night and thought it would serve as a good illustration of how things tend to work in our head; especially now that we’re able to operate more co-consciously once more.
Me: Gods, I’m tired…
Max: I’ll do it!
Me: uh…okay…*gets shoved back*
Max: Do do doooo….
*insert an hour or so [...]

Dollhouse

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

This post has been on the burner for a while. I wish I had been able to finish it before Dollhouse was done with; but alas these things don’t always happen the way we wish. Dollhouse is one of several shows that’s given us a lot of food for thought about ourselves and the way [...]

Things & Stuff

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

I’m going to be re-doing the layout here and on A Joyful Path over the next week. I think it’s about time the layouts were a little larger and a whole lot brighter.
It’s about time. I’m clearing out the spots, so to speak giving the blog adult acne treatment LOL.
I’ve been in a bit of [...]
