life, the universe, and donna

I’m almost ready to show off my place. I have to offload some empty boxes and reorganize the craft closet, but otherwise… I’m pretty much done. So, the new place: As mentioned previously, I’m in the same ‘hood as the old place, about a ten minute walk away. I face north, and since I’m on [...]

Thus completes the saga of the internet. Oh, I guess I should start a little further back. So, in the week before I moved into my new place, I arranged to have Telus setup. The cost worked a little better for me, I wasn’t bundling anything with either company, and while the initial monthly fees [...]

Fuck this nabloposttoomuch thing. This month sucks, I’ll write when I want. So I’m staying with my parents right now. I really appreciate having them as my safety net, since staying with Nick this week was not an option, and I don’t get my keys for the new place until the 15th. And yet… I [...]

Remember when I almost always blogged every day? Apparently that got harder. In my defense, I was out of the house at 9 and didn’t get home until after midnight, so I’m not sure WHEN I would have blogged. Yesterday was an SCA event a mere block from my house, so really … I HAD [...]

- use goodnews voucher for facial and massage (appt Friday) – find those boots I loved and buy them – get haircut and stylist consultation for what to do with shaggy mop – mani/pedi. I managed not to bite my nails off despite considerable stress, deserve reward – go to Art Gallery – go to [...]

Ok, in my defense, I can’t draw. Especially in Paint. But this is basically the new apartment. It’s tiny, but cute, and I think I’ll like it. Not even remotely to scale. Thus far, I’ve managed to score a coffee table, a swivel/rocking chair that used to be my Nana’s, and a possible rug that [...]

I have a Plan. So, I signed the papers, paid the damage & pet deposit this morning, and took a few snapshots so I can remember what it looks like. I meet the landlord again on the 15th and get the keys. I don’t have my work schedule yet, so I don’t know exactly what [...]

Ok, not doing great with this daily blogging thing. In my defense, I did write this yesterday, I just forgot to hit publish. So, step one of my Road to Not Being Totally Fucked Up has been “get a new home”. Clearly, living in Nick’s space isn’t good for either of our mental health. Not [...]

So I was thinking earlier that maybe I’d get back into blogging more often. And maybe a good way to do so would be to try NaBloPoMo, where I try to blog every day for a month. Then I looked at the clock and realized it was already Nov 2nd. Well, shit. What the fuck. [...]
