One day I’ll stop being crushed at work, and then I won’t have to write all my posts for the week the previous weekend.

But that time is not now. Let’s play word association shall we?

Ready? Chronicle

I can’t believe the weekend took this long to get here, but it’s finally Saturday. Went to the Farmer’s Market even though it was raining, and since we got out of the house early this morning, I’ve actually cleaned the house–or at least the living room and kitchen.

Unfortunately the humidity and the temperature are the same, so it’s miserable outside.

Other than that, I’ve got some baking to do this evening for tomorrow’s quick visit by UCF member neurondoc and her family.

Mmmm…. baking.

At some point life is going to slow down and I’ll be able to do more than write posts for the entire freaking week on Sunday night.

But I have no idea when that time is going to be. So until then, it’s time for word association!

Today’s word:
purple

I don’t actually know if today is going to be rough and miserable, but chances are I’m going to have hard day.

As I mentioned in passing Saturday, I am having a difficult time gauging my depression. Work is incredibly busy, so I’m exhausted by the end of the day. But I love what I’m doing, so it’s a good kind of exhaustion. On the other hand, I have been having issues with my OCD, probably because of the stress I’m under at work.

I feel kinda bad, because most of my posts are being written Sunday night, and I’m relying heavily on following patterns and posts that follow a regular weekly schedule. Mostly because my brain is fried and I feel incapable of being creative right now–at least in writing. I have to admit that I’m still pleased with the flower pr0n I took over the weekend. I think it’s because it uses a different part of my brain.

And there are plenty of things that are making me smile. My flowers are doing very well, and I’m able to sit back and enjoy them (which is good, because the idea of doing actual gardening right now is overwhelming).

I also re-read a fantasy series that I love (Thursday’s post will be all about that) and although Anne tormented me by suggesting making oreos, which I’m too tired to do right now, I did make a very delicious pizza (Tuesday’s post)

But what do I really want right now? A vacation. I’d love to be able to get away for a week and do nothing but relax. I’ll just have to see what happens though, since July is the only time Michael can get away from work.

So, enough about me, how have you been?

Doing laundry of course, but also ripping some of my CDs. Not all–that’s too overwhelming of a task, but some of them. So I no longer flip through the CDs going, “Oh! Stevie Ray Vaughan!”

So far today:
Cowboy Junkies
Marty Friedman
Soundgarden
Toadies
XTC
Kevin Ford
Michael Penn

We also brushed Kat. He likes to be brushed right up until he hates it and pitches a hissing snarling fit. Fun.

And I want to finish my book today. But I have a feeling I’m more likely to fall asleep than read. I’ve still pretty damned tired, which is why I’m unable to gauge my depression. Ah well.

ADDENDUM the First:
Now I’ve ripped:
Aine Minogue
Leahy
Taliesin Orchestra
The Mediaeval Baebes
Enya
Dead Can Dance
and finally, Stevie Ray Vaughan

Now I’m making pizza. Mmmm!

Busy. Tired. Incoherent.

Nope, that’s not your word. Your word is…

exhausted

Today was an early day, and Wednesday is going to be even worse.

Then, to add lemon juice to the paper cut, Michael has to go to North Carolina for work. We’re still trying to figure out how I’m going to get the car tomorrow.

To top it all off, I think the battery is going on my laptop. Boo hiss! Yes, I know I can buy another one, but that’s not the POINT, now is it?

Oh, and I walked 14500 steps today–that’s almost seven miles.

Farmer’s Market (fresh eggs, Rustic Italian bread, and a tomato)
Grocery shopping
Recycling center (We filled the trunk and the entire back seat, mostly with cardboard and #1 plastic)
Fish market (wild sockeye salmon is in season!)
Lunch

Now off to take Grandmom to the grocery store.

Then, if I’m lucky, reading and a nap later (still re-reading Sergei Lukyanenko’s Night Watch series).

Yup. Still busy, but you have no idea whether this post was written Wednesday or Sunday! (Though you can probably guess, all things considered.)

Ready? Set?

gray

Yup. Still really busy. But still as far as you know this is a shiny fresh post!

rain

LINOLEUM!

Another busy week, but as far as you know, this is a fresh post! Ha!

Ready? Set?

Purple

Quirky Liberal Alpha Female.

Of course I am.
(more…)

It’s that time of the week again!

Ready? Here you go:
