Averygoodun's Personal File

( To do list for my memory's benefit )

Well, so far we have about 4" of snow on the ground, and it's still snowing. YAY! It's really heavy snow, and it took me about 45 minutes to clear off the driveway, though that was because I was being a perfectionist about it, wanting all the icy stuff gone, too. Benefit of my OCD is that no snow has stuck to the driveway in the two hours since. (Having the temp be just above freezing helps with that, of course.) Whee!

Yesterday was a tired day. I had to struggle to stay awake during class in the morning, and then, after an afternoon of running around doing errands and ending the evening with hanging my work, I was beat. I was really happy to go to bed at 9:30, and even so, I didn't want to get up this morning. But I think that was more to do with the dim quality of the light than exhaustion. Well, that and a warm, cuddly husband.

I did manage to hang most of my show yesterday, thankfully. I was three hangers short, so I need to get those and an extra length of chain, but the pics are at the church, ready to be hung. On the downside, it seems I had too many pics printed and had to bring seven home, as there just wasn't room for them. On the plus side, that means I have work to cover the walls here, again. Yay! (It's been odd having bare walls. Not bad, but odd.)

Oh, and I'd like to thank dickgloucester for more or less sponsoring this show. It would have gone on anyway, as I'd promised to do it, but your recent purchases made it a lot more financially comfortable to do so! (And S, thank you for this semester of school!)

Yesterday's lunch was notable for its tastiness and simplicity. We'd sauteed up some zucchini, onion and red bell pepper in coconut oil the night before, so yesterday I took the leftovers, dumped them on top of a plain beef patty, sprinkled some queso fresco on top and nuked it till hot. Served with half a ripe avocado, and it was really close to perfection. (I've been really enjoying having an avocado or so a day, lately. I'm eager for this next batch to get ripe enough to eat.)

Aaaaaaaaaaaand... I think that's all the time I can spare faffing about. Maybe after I've done my homework I can come back. And hopefully you all (who haven't already) will have posted so I'll have lots to read! *smiles hopefully*

Cheers!

First, thank you all for the hugs and fun links. Nothing went seriously wrong or anything yesterday, I just didn't have any armor to defend myself against the little barbs that make up a day. Your hugs helped soothe my pricked ego and bruised spirit.

(I spent most of yesterday thinking on the question of whether it is better to be an idiot or just seem like an idiot. At least if you are actually an idiot, you aren't likely to realize what the consequences of being an idiot are... But you're not likely to live as long, either. *shrug*)

My thoughts and warm wishes go to those who need it today.

( Good things. )

Thank you, friends, for your reassuring words and good advice. Last night was a bad night; all the little stresses and worries (especially those I was refusing to acknowledge) had added up and, compounded with the exhaustion from the busy weekend, made for a big wad of insecurity. A decent night's sleep helped tremendously. And remembering important things like mid-terms and patience. Not to mention your kind words...

So, thank you. I'm feeling much better and will refrain from such wanton words of worry until further notice. The alliteration, I'm afraid, won't be going away anytime soon, though.
