Domestic Geek

Current mood: sleepy
Well, today went better than yesterday. It's amazing how much just a little sunshine can help with one's mood. That and the fact I got two $6.50 tips in a row and no stiffs tonight. Generous people always lift my mood. I am dog-tired, though.

Have I mentioned that I've got a new addiction? Blinkies!! I must learn to make these. They don't seem too hard from the tutorials I've been reading, just time-consuming (like I've got time--HA!).

Well, I'm off to bed.

Current mood: cranky
Man, was I in the absolute crappiest of moods yesterday and I'm not feeling much different today. I was apathetic, grumpy, angry, frustrated. The worst thing is there was no reason for it except that I woke up that way. I think part of the reason was that the sun never came out. I'm also wondering if I'm having some sort of anxiety about the continuous war coverage like I did after the 9/11 incident. It's also a bad thing when I get any extended amount of time away from work because the full force of the stupidity that exists there hits me full in the face when I get back. Well, hopefully today will turn out to be a better day.

Current mood: aggravated
Where did all my time off go?! Granted, I did have almost five days of no work/school, but it wasn't enough. I still have so much I need to accomplish and the school/work ratrace begins all over again tomorrow. It felt so good to get things crossed off my list--the dog is totally shaved and has had a bath, my craft room is ready to put stuff back into it, I can walk through my kitchen again, I got to do some cooking, we can see the top of the dining room table...

I still have so much to do, though--my desk is a pit, I have to design some buttons for Marcus, I need to get my stuff out of storage in town so that I can get the stuff cleared out of the Bennett storage place. *sigh*

Well, I guess I better get some laundry done and clean up the kitchen before I head off to bed.

Current mood: confused
Mike and Nina came over this evening. I made taco pizza for dinner, then Mike and Marcus played Diablo while Nina and I watched "Kate and Leopold" and "Memento". Memento was too weird. It made my head hurt to watch it. It was a really good story, though.

Dang it. Why do I need money? Not working Tuesday-Thursday was really fun, but it is really going to hurt me financially. I'm supposed to be off the whole weekend, but I offered to work tonight (one driver is still stuck in San Francisco and can't get a flight into Denver until Saturday and another older driver hurt himself shoveling snow). If I didn't need the money, I wouldn't. I even told the manager I'd go ahead and make dough. I can't afford a whole week of no money coming in. *sigh*

I made it in to make dough, yesterday. It took four hours to get my car out and Marcus and I got sunburned. The plow guy kept getting stuck and he broke his plow trying to clear the snow on our street. What a mess! I knew there would be no way I could deliver when I saw the conditions of the side streets. Fortunatley, the manager convinced the owner to stay closed for one more day. I doubt they're in much better shape today, though. Oh, well.

On a brighter note, my craft room is almost all back together. Marcus and I finally got my Christmas desk all set up. I can't wait to use it. I contacted the Dimensions company to see if I can get new instructions for my kit. I'm really anxious to get started on it. I heard on the radio yesterday that the roof of the Michaels craft store in Aurora caved yesterday. I wonder how bad the damage was.

I need to redesign my whole web site. I think I'm going to start a craft blog to keep track of progress on various projects I've got going. Most of the rest of my site is soooooo out of date and I want a new blog design. Damn, why do I need money?
