I don’t remember that last time that’s happened. Ugh.
Okay, let’s just let me talk here for a bit and see if I’ve got anything to update you people about. The stream of consciousness is flooding its banks.
Thanksgiving ended a five-day Kaylee-free fasting. That was good (the ending, not the fasting). Much of the rest of that day was not good (despite wonderful eats and hosting at the Consortium), but that part was good.
The next five days were also full of spectacular Kaylee goodness. We have games that we play together that I really look forward to. She is a little playacting genius; it fills me with delight.
Note to self: you’re pretty much out of soda.
Actually, there’s been a strong pattern in the last couple weeks were things that are not Kaylee are full of suck, and Kaylee-things are good. On the one hand, this is bad, since it means that a lot of stuff is not good. On the other hand, it is a wonderful thing to find so much joy and contentment in your kid — to really look forward to seeing them on a day to day basis. Walking up to the front door of the daycare in the afternoon is like getting up on Christmas morning.
The game I ran on Sunday was a not-Kaylee-and-still-good thing. I liked that a lot.
Haven’t been getting to the gym as much as I’d like. Swing Dance classes begin anew in January and/or February. I’m very much looking forward to that.
Work is … eh. Fine. Eh.
Someone used to say to me “I wish you push half as much effort into school (read: work) as you do your reading or your games.”
I think: “I wish the things I get paid to do were half as engaging as the things I do for the joy of it.” Or “I wish I was getting paid to do things I enjoy.”
I’m using the word ‘joy’ a lot in this post. Tis the season, I suppose.
I like fall the best of all seasons. I do not, however, like being cold. At all. It is very very hard to get out of bed in the morning, if the house is cold, even if you’re well-rested.
My phone has decided that I don’t get to use one-touch speed dialing this week. It’s mad at me about something — I dunno what — I don’t understand phones.
Haven’t seen Beowulf yet, or a half-dozen other movies I’d like to see in the theatre. I’m halfway through Becket downstairs on the home theatre — it awaits only my next laundry day to finish it up.
There’s a full length Avatar movie, set after season three, coming out on Nick this weekend. Haven’t seen season three or the last part of season two yet, though, so I must avoid.
I have Battlestar Galactica: Razor taped and ready to watch, but maybe I’ll just watch it with Kate this weekend.
Oh yeah. Going to NYC this weekend. This may be… very unlikely, but it MAY be the last trip I need to take simply to see my fiance for the first time in a month. Maybe. Probably at least one more trip in January.
I haven’t seen my folks in ages. I really need to get out to South Dakota and see everyone. Stupid cheap airline tickets and I still don’t have time.
My folks’ computer has been on the fritz for a month. Hard to fix from here. Another reason to take a trip out there.
My windshield looks like it’s going to collapse at any moment from nothing more than the pressure of the wipers moving over the surface — so many cracks from one little (huge) rock. Really need to get that fixed.
The tire just had a screw in it. Big O fixed it for free — that’s a relief — I thought I’d have to replace all four or something insane like that.
Traffic this morning in the new snow and (rumored) ice was… very very slow.
And… if you couldn’t tell… my focus is shot and my attention wanders all over the map. I’m ready for 2008.
