Oct. 25th, 2008 06:29 pmERROR -- PROCESS HALTING.....
I'm sitting at home, enjoying the college football season. I've got a glass of ice-water to drink, having already finished my cherry coke (no caffeine after 2pm here). I've got a new bottle of rhum to consider, some nice wine if that's a choice, and preparation for tomorrows RPG to do. That might require a cider, instead. Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K.
I picked up two new plants for the dark garden (some Black Pearl pepper, for the pirate section), some new soil to amend the back vegetable garden, and some grass seed for the bare patches in the front yard. I have finished off a plate of cheese and crackers (with summer sausage) with the help of my son. I have a few projects to start, some to chart, and some to set aside.
I want to spend $350, more or less, on a single costume piece. Still not sure I'm going to, though. I've maxed my 401k pre-tax this year, so I have a little extra if I want to use it. I also have my paycheque from SPSU which could go for this, or maybe a Wii or XBox. Or, food. Or candles. Or more wine.
We haven't yet worked out our holiday season, but it's important to get things worked out early if possible. Better to have your ducks in a row with plans that don't work out, than to have a great plan with a duck-herding problem. Maybe I need to save my extra money for plane tickets. Anyone want me to visit?
The traditional shakedowns ahead of the end-of-year have made work a bit tense, but my group is 'protected' so far, and I'm trying not to think about it overmuch. All of *YOU* need to drink more fizzy drinks so I still get a bonus, though. Or, at least, get to keep my job a little bit longer.
I owe several people e-mail. I need to prepare to do grading on projects on Monday. I haven't published the lab scores from this past week, and I should have, by now. As the sky goes dark, so does my energy level, and I'm feeling just a little depressed about a few things. I can't seem to get back into the swing of early drives to work, or my old exercise schedule. These are probably all related.
I need to put new tape on the moose. That's one of those projects I mentioned before. I also need four tomato cages that won't ever be used for vegetables.
I want to unload the garage and re-pack it, and spend about $1000 on replacing half of the stuff in there. Not that I have a good reason, except that I would have something to do to put off some of those earlier projects. So, not a good reason at all. One thing I want is a small space-heater so I can pull the cars back in the winter and make stuff. Not that I've done a lot of that so far, but there you have it. I also want a snow-maker, but we're in a drought so there isn't a lot of point for that so far.
Just locked in my natural gas at 99c a therm. Makes me thing we need to move stuff away from the fireplace soon, as turning on the logs always makes the room all nice. I could eat some apple pie I got from a local cooperative with dab of vanilla ice cream, and a glass of TK-Pie on the side.
An old friend (and girlfriend) let me know she's safe in a new place, and that's both happy-making and causing me to think about the past two decades for her. She's had a rough time. But, she's had a rough patch lasting pretty much all her life. She's due some good times.
I'm high maintenance, but da elf is working hard on work and school, and I'm a little off about that (and feeling guilty, as she SHOULD be working hard at her new opportunities both with school and the office).
SEGMENTATION FAULT -- BRAIN DUMP COMPLETE.
