Less Whining
Jan. 2nd, 2008 08:23 pmSo there's this big black piece of tissue paper from gift wrapping in the house, and Moxie (bigger of Vikki's two cats) seems determined to place himself under it and stalk things from underneath the crackling piece of tissue paper. Note he's not pouncing the paper, he's hiding under the noisy thing and creeping around with it on his back.
I've been working a whole lot lately despite the sick. Nine-and-change hours shift today and I was good till the last three hours, so that's not so bad. Angus comes home tomorrow and then I have two days off. I'll spend most of them in bed, one way or the other. :D
Still sticking with the monogamous thing, and still enjoying it. It just feels like the right thing to be doing, which I'm sure will surprise a lot of you (maybe it will surprise you more further into it?).I'm very much cocooning, pulling the curtains around my little private world, though I have been getting out a bit here and there with the boy away this week. It's good. I'm very curious to see how my life evolves when spring comes in February or March. There'll be less hibernating then.
This month is my no-buss-pass month. They hiked transit fares again and the busses are sucking worse than ever, and I'm not getting as much exercise at work as I'd like. Put together, it seems obvious that the solution is to bike places instead of bus. Angus lives a ten-fifteen minute *walk* from my house, which makes it quicker to bike than to wait for a bus. Work is downhill in the morning and I can wear raingear over what I need there if necessary. Of course, these two days I'm bussing anyhow, cause I'm not trusting my lungs to exercise in the cold just yet. Sunday, though... I'm excited. Having time outdoors again will be good for me too.
This is cool.
I should order some seed catalogues, even if I'll just end up buying stuff at Seedy Saturday again like I always do. It's pure dreamland fantasy, looking at those pictures.
Hope the New Year treats y'all well.
