I was absolutely exhausted yesterday (which was unfortunate, as Geoff had decided to take the day off), and as such, completely useless. But Geoff stepped up.

He even gave me a back massage (part of the reason I was exhausted).

So, I am thankful and grateful I lucked out as I did. And also very glad I stuck it out through the bad. ;-j

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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!

Thank you for the blue dragons! They're lovely and cheerful and happy-making.

No homework has been done yet today. That's next, I s'pose, now that I've gathered enough photos to print for the show. Perhaps at my next break I'll post them on here so you can see what'll be going up on the walls. This will not be a cohesive show at all, but, eh. They're all quite decent shots, and that's what matters most to me right now.

As for the state of me... I'm dry. Like, 80-ounces-of-water-a-day-is-not-hydrating-me dry. not sure why, but it probably has something to do with resuming my habit of tea. *big sigh*

Page slapped a kid in after-school yesterday. No one is happy about this. And it was over a freaking plastic bag!!! Still don't know what to do with that kid (and counseling center didn't call back, darn them!)

It's windy. Windy enough the power flickered off. Windy enough to unsettle me. Don't like it. However, last night it was also very rainy, which was nice. We need more moisture!

But I guess I better go do my homework. I need to catch up, and now is probably one of the few chances I'll get before the mid- and end-terms crunches.

Ciao.

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. )

I've been going through my inboxes at deviant, and, well, I'm ashamed at how terrible I am at responding to comments. I know I'm spotty at best here, but over there... There were comments that were as old as my account! How unforgivable is that? I have responded to all but one review on my averygoodun account, and everything on my ecsart account, with a generous helping of apologies around, but how many people have I alienated by being so horribly rude?

*sigh*

While I was doing this exercise in humility, I think I might have figured out part of why I do have such a horrible, horrible record for answering comments, especially those left for my artwork: words don't come easily when I'm emotional. And comments, especially the nice comments, on my artwork, make me very emotional. "Thank you" just seems so very, very inadequate.

So, if I'm a little hesitant responding to a review you've left, I apologize and ask for your patience. I can't promise I'll reply to everything, and I sincerely doubt I'll be going through LJ and catching up here, but please do know that your comments are appreciated very mcuh. Very much, indeed.

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.

Well, right now I am sitting here, waiting for Geoff to finish disconnecting the dishwasher so that we can move it and then go to bed. The kitchen is three-quarters demolished, with only the sink, dishwasher and side cabinet still in place. It's been a long, busy and productive day. Not bad, though, despite everything.
