It’s Christimas Time in the City
A week already since the last post?
I’ve been busy; hell, everyone’s been busy. If they weren’t, work wouldn’t be so damned busy.
Unfortunately I still have a job but I guess it’s good with all the money I’ve been spending on Christmas gifts. I just need to buy the ones for Mom and Tim but I know what I want to buy them and I know where I’ll buy Tim’s but I’m not sure about mom.
I still have to wrap and label everything I bought as well as put some extra ornaments on the tree. I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned the tree but it’s a fake tree which belongs to my ex roommate’s step-father and is about 10 years old. Needless to say, it wasn’t very pretty when we first put up the lights and then I had trouble with those.
We got them all up and we we plugged them in, part of a strand wasn’t working. After some fiddling, I found a loose bulb on the floor and put it in its spot, but it still didn’t work so I bought some replacement bulbs and another strand of lights thinking that, if worse came to worse, I’d just change them. At one point, I’d thought the unlit section had actually moved from the middle of the strand to another place, but I’m not sure now. I thought that the place where the bulbs didn’t work was in the middle of the strand so that confused me even more but, as it turns out, it was at the end of the first strand.
Well, I did replace a couple dead bulbs and that helped, but the lights still didn’t work. As I’m playing with them, I realize another bulb is completely missing so I think that I’ll use one of the spares from the new set, even though I didn’t want to. It doesn’t matter as those don’t even fit.
To make a long story short, I found the last bulb in the box, put it in and the lights worked. I returned the extra bulbs and lights to Wal-mart but it wasn’t to the one in Wausau and they ripped me off.
Anyway, I bought some garland and hung the bulbs which Grandma gave to me along with the very few decorations I have and the tree looks much better. I’ll take a picture of it (and probably all the presents I bought for my sister) once I put up the rest of the new decorations I bought, which will be this morning.
I also need to clean up the living room, which is so full of boxes it looks like I’m moving again, send out my Christmas cards, and put together my bookcase. Luckily, I have off Sunday and Monday. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some sleep, too, and play Maplestory (I’m now level 23).
PS, I’ve edited the song of the week.
Tra-la-la
Alas, the snow has mostly melted, save for a few patches on the ground. The grass beneath it is almost entirely still green and it makes for an interesting sight. The other day I was going to grab a root beer from the cooler on the back porch, only to find that all the cans of soda (and some ladybugs) were frozen in a large cooler-shaped chunk of ice.
Yesterday, I checked again because it was warmer and while much of it had melted, only the Pepsi was retrievable. -_- However, while checking I noticed that the neighbours built two snowmen and while the ground was patchy they seemed in-tact. Not-so, today. The larger one’s head has melted off and all that remains is a small, lifeless, earmuff-covered snowball on the ground. )=
I stayed up almost all day yesterday, working on the icon site, playing MS and, later, trying to fix Ashe’s computer which is infected with some Trojan/Nail.exe. Rawr. All my efforts helped little but it was slow going since I had to run upstairs to use her dad’s computer whenever I needed to look up a possible problem/file because this malicious little bugger on her computer means she cannot use the internet.
So after finally being able to download Hijack this! and CWShredder onto her computer and removing some crap with that and then manually deleting it, starting and restarting in both safe mode and regular, I was still left with 3 or 4 pesky files which would not go away but at least I can name the problem.
Today i’ll head back over there with a few more programs burned onto a CD because my trust floppy disk has done all that it can. Can you believe she had outdated versions of both Adaware and Spybot and no antivirus protection? Eesh. d=
Anyway, I hope I can solve this problem because it’s bugging the fuck out of me. Ben, if you read this, stop by Ashe’s today and/or give a call.
To add to the not-so-happy news, I woke up today to my phone ringing but I couldn’t answer it in time because, get this, my hands were number from sleeping! So, I missed Rian’s call and after I was up a bit I realized I forgot to take out the garbage. Usually missing a week doesn’t matter so much but I do need to change the garbage and clean up all the junk mail which has wound up on the hall floor.
Aaaand, today was the day I’d planned to go Great Lakes, Illinois, a naval station, to get some stuff done so I could, hopefully, be with my husband. Unfortunately, no one ever fucking answers the phone and I finally got someone yesterday to ask a question and realized this process would be more difficult than I thought. Thanks for telling me earlier, you know? And the lady who deals with appointments wasn’t there either. -rme*
So, I don’t know if I’m going to try again or not because Rian says not to bother but, after going through all this shit, I don’t want to hear “Oh nevermind” and I’m really so close to getting this shit done that giving up now would be more than “frustrating.” We’ll see I guess.
I need to shower.
It’s so cold!
hearing: Pitbull Daycare
feeling: Cold!
wanting: my Rian )=
I had the WEIRDEST dream. For some reason Lary and I were up at her really expensive summer house up north, and Holly was there, too. Well out of the blue comes our friend Charles, with whom I rarely speak and he is spending the night. Somehow it was morning and they were firing cannon balls into the lake to look for dead bodies, but one missed and came at us. The rest of the dream entailed my running while holding some little kid, and kicking the cannon ball out of the way. All I know is I accidentally kicked it toward the house (lmfao) and I can remember thinking “Oh, shit.”
