Damnit...it's Friday already

Well, it’s now into the start of Friday. Chris will be home in about 30 hours. Damnit. I was really enjoying him *not* being around.

I’ve been off work since Tuesday night. I got three days scheduled off (unpaid) though I’m planning on being at work tomorrow. (Daddy needs to pay the rent, no doubt!)

Monday afternoon, I called /Jeff to find out where the heck he’s been hiding. He calls me from a friends cell phone, as he’s in Coon Rapids (about 35 miles from me). Talk about serendipity!! I headed up there and meet up with Jeff, Brian and his rather attractive girlfriend Jen. We hung out for a while and I brought Jeff back to my place. We hung out for a while and then crashed. I went into work on Tuesday, Jeff and I watched some TV and some storms then crashed out. Wednesday, we got up and headed up to Superior WI, to take Jeff home. Jeff paid for me to come up there and I’m really glad I did. Jeff’s calming down and growing up ... and it’s a very good thing. He’s much more pleasant to hang out with and his off the wall antics are much more subdued. I headed back down from Superior and got home around 8:30pm Wednesday night.

I had every intention of going to work today, but yeah, that didn’t happen. I didn’t sleep well and the constant blare of my weather radio going off...

So much severe weather today in Minnesota. None of it where I live. 8-|

I’m going to work tomorrow, I’ll be crashing out as soon as I finish this entry.

Otherwise, I’ve completely rearranged my room (though I’m planning on switching rooms when Chris moves out)...

I’ve cleaned the kitchen, including the floor. I hung up the $5 clock we got from friends in the kitchen. It’s a small thing yes, but it adds a bit of colour, utility, and ... takes away from the sterility of our apartment. It’s my place (1/2 way) but damn parts of it are sterile and other parts look like it was part dorm cleaning sale.

I have to do something with my rocking chair. I have a feeling that it’s going to meet the dumpster, but the kitties love to sleep on it. They can shred it (and they do) which is better than them going after my sheets, clothes, and the other two chairs.

I only have two other projects before Chris gets home.

One: Clean the fan that normally sits in my window. It’s a giant dust bunny! Put the air cleaner in my room and try to not put the fan in the window as much. What the hell? This fan has two hex screws at the top and bottom, while the rest are standard phillips head. I can’t get it apart and something tells me that the servo motor wouldn’t like being put in the bathtub ;) I’ll move the air cleaner in the morning.

Two: I need to give some time and attention to my altar and religion. I’ve been drifting away from things a lot lately and the trip to Superior actually was good for me. I was able to get away from the city on a leisurely pace. I could have stayed up there until tomorrow night for free. It was great to see the Lake again. It reminded me of all the beauty and wonder in Nature that I’m supposed to be seeing and protecting.

On the way back from Superior, I came to a major decision regarding my novel. The material that I have written as of now, is dead. I’m quite pleased with the characters and their development, but one character (Justin) and the plot are completely forced and I can’t work with them. I’ll be working on a new story with those characters.

I’ve also gotten the Garou Nation website up, running, and updates are coming in from all over the place. I’m pleased with the design, it is simple for those still on dialup, but yet it’s also easy to use and find things.

Okay okay...this entry is getting long...and my eyelids are getting heavy. It’s time for the bear to go to bed.
