Things Happening in My World Right Now

tarotgal1. I spent all weekend working on LEGO. I took off work on Friday and built from 9am until 2am. Then on Saturday I went to volunteer at the library, got home at noon and built until 8:30, when I left to see Outlander. Then again from 10:30 until midnight. On Sunday I was up at 8am. After checking email and eating breakfast, I built until 9pm then took a break for an hour or so then built until around 1:30. Yeah. The thing I need to have done by the end of the month is coming along quite nicely. I was so worried about it last week and then again on Saturday when I started running out of certain colors. So I'm having to change my design based on colors of bricks I have. But I'm actually starting to really like it.
2. My roof is apparently leaking. I noticed two water spots on the ceiling last week. GREAT. I don't have any money right now, let alone money for a new roof. Bad timing. It's raining right now and I don't see drips. I went home from work early just so that I could be here when the rain started. I have a big bucket ready just in case. But so far so good. *knock wood*
3. My stomach started hurting again. NOT COOL, STOMACH! NOT COOL! I suspect my gallbladder regrew and new gallstones were formed. That's the most logical explanation, right?
4. Is anyone else watching Face Off? MAN I love this show.
5. I marathoned Seasons 8-10 of NCIS while building this weekend. And I'm now a few discs into Season 3 of Gilmore Girls.
6. I'm on my last day of my 29 Gifts project! No life-changing events, but I enjoyed taking the time to consider generosity on a daily basis and give from the heart each time.
7. My mother bought Starz, so I'm going over to her place every week to watch Outlander.
8. My leg has been especially bad this week. I stood up after a meeting with a coworker and couldn't put any weight on it for a couple minutes. Kind of embarrassing. My hip surgery is September 12.
9. I am out of bananas. Crap. I'd planned on going to the store tonight (I was also supposed to go to the movie theater I pledged some money to for a Kickstarter campaign) but I want to babysit my ceiling just in case it starts leaking. So all plans were suddenly changed. Also, I want to curl up with a heating pack and a blanket tonight. Ow. I hate being a woman.
10. I finished my reread of Xanthe's Two Wolves. It was just as good the second time around, though I went more quickly through some of the dream sequences, as I didn't need their foreshadowing symbolism during a reread when I already knew what was going to happen.
11. I was informed about BookBud.com. I found a BDSM hockey erotic novel for free. I'm kind of thrilled.
12. I'm earreading Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King. The more I read, the more I realize it is not 11/22/63. In fact, I got that book out of the library yesterday and thrust it upon my mother. I desperately need someone to talk to about that book, preferably someone who was alive back then and can offer more of a cultural and first-hand perspective.
13. I'm broke. Totally. I'm cutting back on everything I can and eliminating as much fun spending as possible. I'm still going to do swaps, but mostly electronic or cheap ones. Luckily, I've got lots of craft materials and items for future swaps purchased already. I'm just worried about the cost of a new roof on top of two surgeries. Yeah. Thank goodness for health insurance!
14. I'm still pissed off at my boss for taking everyone except me to the movies, especially after I worked my ass off for the job all week. But the immediate anger has died down to just a fierce disappointment and sense of injustice.
15. My dinner in the microwave is beeping. I'm going to go eat it then watch more Gilmore Girls. And listen for the sound of my ceiling collapsing.

Date: 2014-08-22 01:09 am (UTC)That's awesome that you finished the 29 Gifts I almost started twice but didn't really commit and just do it. As a recipient of one of your gifts, it was wonderful and really made my day. And has continued to make me happy every time I reread and think about my fic.
Hopefully your hip surgery will go well. Will you be out long?
Talk to you soon!
