tarotgalSo today was pretty rocky. I kept trying to do things and nodding off instead. So I really got nothing at all done. I'm trying to make up for that tonight.
Dad made dinner, which was sweet. But he made grilled cheese sandwiches. And I'm kind of trying to cut down on dairy as much as possible. I don't eat cheese now if I can eat something else instead. If it's in a dish I don't avoid it, but I've been doing peanut butter instead of cheese for lunch for a while now. This is partly because a lot of cheeses are not vegetarian and partly because I want to be closer to vegan. I don't think I can be completely vegan at the moment, but I think it counts in the grant scheme of things to cut down on my eating dairy. Anyhoo, he wasn't to know that (um, because my family never asks me ANYTHING because they couldn't care less about what's going on in my life. Have I mentioned that they have never ONCE asked me about my writing during NaNoWriMo over 4 years? *sigh*). Hufflepuff that I am, I appreciated his kindness and didn't want to hurt his feelings. So I ate the sandwich and said a silent apology.
After dinner we went to see my mom at the hospital. Apparently Dad was supposed to give Sugar her medicine at noon and he forgot. Mom kind of freaked out about that (great-- just what she needed!) but Sugar is doing okay, it seems, and I'll give her her 12pm pill (and her other meds at 1am or 2am). Mom is doing well. They have her on a liquid diet (joy, oh joy) but they're keeping her for observation and she'll probably get to come home tomorrow, unless something else comes up. She hasn't been in pain since 8am, so that's all I care about. Mom's feeling okay, just bored and wants to come home. And we want her home! Heck, we need her home.
I also found out that Mom & Dad bought me a Tofurkey for Thanksgiving dinner. Which was very kind of them. But I've heard they... don't taste very good. And why would I WANT to eat anything that looks like a turkey? The main point of me being a vegetarian is that I don't want to eat animals. To eat something that looks like an animal, whether it's meat or not, kinda misses the whole point. But I'll give it a chance; I definitely will.
Tonight I started season 4 of Star Trek: Deep Space 9. Worf!!! :-)
And I decided, since I was feeling miserable, I'd do something nice to make me feel better. So I'm coding archive fics. With any luck *crosses fingers* The archive will be ALL CAUGHT UP after this update! Can you imagine the joy I will feel? Now that's something to be thankful for! So nobody post ANY new finished stories to the group for the next, like, 12 hours, okay? Please?
Oh, also. The new Oceanic Six music video... I like the song still (I love Hurley), but I'm not digging the girls. Sorry, but I'm not feeling them at all. *shrug*
