- Spent Mother's day waving away a cloud of mosquitoes (real mosquitoes, not those puny gnats that were at Aeternitas) while we collected more rocks for my garden. Upside: The inner circle is now completed and ready for filling. Downside: Despite all my layers of clothes and the bug spray covering what was exposed, I got a tick. Ew. Geoff had a tick as well, but it hadn't bitten him. They are so incredibly small, it's rather amazing what a big problem they pose.
- Speaking fandom, you need to go read Dial G for Granger. I don't read much fanfic anymore, and what I do read is usually limited to SS/HG, but this Dramione fic is gold. Possibly platinum. Should regular HP fanfic awards be revived, they need to make up a new category for the best use of Navy SEALs so this fic can win that along with the best humor title. Seriously. Go. Read.
- Geoff to Page yesterday: "If you can't use an insult properly, don't use it at all." I laughed so hard, I was afraid I was going to crash the car.
- V. tired today, but I've done a surprising amount, which is rather novel. Almost caught up on laundry, including all bedclothes. The kitchen, however, is still untouched.
- I have discovered I am a jello junkie, which is a bit surprising as I loathe and despise the flavored boxed stuff. But I've eaten almost 3 quarts of the juice-made variety since last Wednesday. Like, an entire quart over the course of a day... And I don't share, either. It's bad.
- Had a fit of the angries today. I'm upset with myself for various reasons, but I thought I had it under control. Guess not. At least I was by myself.
- Page eating almonds is becoming a major pet peeve of mine. I have nothing against the almonds themselves, but how he smacks his lips and crunches and... It grosses me out more and more and more. I swear it's a cumulative gross-out effect. And telling him to chew with his lips closed results in a loud denial and then a whopping ten seconds of silent chewing.
- I have guests coming over on Sunday. The to do list in my head is rather frightening.
- Neighbor has ruined Antonio Banderas for me. I didn't realize until I flipped onto the Zorro sequel the other day that Neighbor really has more than a passing resemblance in both looks and voice. *pouts* Stupid neighbor. *pouts some more*
- I am simultaneously looking forward to the summer and dreading it. I am so looking forward to seeing my family again, but I'm starting to fear we won't be able to make it thanks to my mistakes. I need to find work, and I don't have the energy to look, not after taking care of everything that needs to be done at home.
I'm really hoping I can manage this upcoming school year. I have basically decided that if I can't manage to do it part time, I need to apply for disability. The thought makes me rather ill. No pun intended.
