Ugh.
I slept a bit late this morning because I knew I’d be staying late at work.
I woke up with a kink in my neck.
The scrapbook page title I have lettered four times now smudged this morning, over 10 hours after I finished it. I’ve determined that I cannot use that calligraphy pen for inking anything in the scrapbook.
I have cramps. REALLY FUCKING BAD. So bad that I was almost crying on the way to work this morning. I have taken drugs now, but they only help a little bit.
Leaving a half hour later than I normally do meant I hit the bad traffic everywhere, so I ended up taking Bear Creek Road, which is windy and awful and sucks in the rain. I don’t think I’ve ever driven it when it wasn’t raining, either. And I still got nasty traffic. It took over an hour and a half to get to work this morning.
The only good thing about my morning so far, aside from getting to shower with my lovely husband, was listening to Wizard and Glass in the car.
My favorite Idol got voted off and THE CREEP IS STILL THERE! Why? Does anyone else smell a fix? Fox has a lot of experience rigging the votes….
I want to go home and sleep and write.
My digital camera broke. Just in time, since I have a presentation next month on using a digital camera…. Growl.
Other good things that happened, though they were yesterday:
I got a lot of scrapbooking done last night (4 more pages), and journalled two pages as well. I think I’m ready for page protectors the final step, to protect the photos and such).
I didn’t gain weight this week, though my loss was minimal (.2 lb.). Still, not gaining was a victory in itself.
I didn’t uber-snack last night when I got home. I had a big lunch, enough points to carry me through the dinner hours, and had a hot chocolate while watching Idol.
I have a poker game tonight. I suspect I will lose all my money before the pizza even arrives. *sigh* [I am a really good fish....]
I want chocolate. That’s not really an up thing, but I want it.

Okay, I know this has nothing to do with anything, but I have to share with you: A local greyhound track is closing. Yay!

Oof. That’ll put a strain on the local GH rescue groups for a while. But I hope it doesn’t put such a glut on the rescue organizations that the dogs get put down. That happens a lot with track closings, if they’re not managed properly.

I don’t watch the show (only sorta vicariously follow it through Ann Althouse’s blog), so which one is the creep?

Yeah, though he seems normal enough in stills, if a little unattractive.

There is NO WAY Constantine should have left. Grumble.

Wizard and Glass is pretty good, but not as good as Wolves of the Calla. Or The Waste Lands, come to think of it.

do you happen to want some semi-random craft supplies? i’m cleaning out my craft area and i thought you might like some stuff for scrap booking, but i;m not sure what scrapbooking requires…
i have some flesh and white calligraphy ink, a multicolored stamp pad, glitter, some paper punches (kitty, an M, star?)
and a few other things? probably gonna go in the trash and i don’t want it there.

Yeah, I’ll take them– I can use them, especially white calligraphy ink– I was just wondering if anyone actually made that! I’ll probably find a different home for the M,though, since I don’t know too many people whose names start with M besides you.
