Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

My daughter usually picks her up. And as far as I'm concerned, she should do the bringing back if that's the case. There are times when it is acknowledged in advance that she won't be able to and, if it is brought up to me, I'll usually agree. And we'll work out a reasonable time. I usually do my grocery shopping on that side of town, so I do that and then pick up the roomie on the way home. Which is usually the way it happens even if she springs things on me. I'm willing to accommodate people to a point, but not to where it's a total inconvenience and I set the schedule. I do need to talk to her about the calling so early, though. That's just rude, and a little ill-considered, because she knows darn well I won't answer the phone that early; I don't answer it for anyone, period.

Yay, for movie! I want to go see Mad Max, again. I know that's one that I'm going to buy off Amazon as soon as it's available.

I have been in such a foul mood all day. I don't know if it was the heartburn or the bra shopping(always puts me in a bad place) or if it all just fed each other. I tried a nap, but Loki decided to be an asshole and knock things off. He was doing it on purpose too. Even taking him for a walk, he kept going back to it. I KNOW he doesn't do this when I am not home.

Yup. Baskets of odds and ends, my teabox of keys, my cell, my keys hanging on hooks, glass bowl of shells(I aborted that one.) He even took to just thwapping a plastic placemat just to make noise. He's such a toddler. I'm surprised he didn't bang the cabinet doors!

I spent $70 at Sephora on lipstick. Not sure how that means I only got three lipsticks. One of which I realized I already own, when I got home. (It was a sephora brand one) so when I return that I can justify getting the other expensive one I didn't buy, right? Because it'll be like that one is on sale? (And spend another 45 minutes wandering around with swatches on my hand...

Someone is using a table saw outside at 9:45 at night.

....I want to see the end result.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I may have run out of both spoons and brain. Do I wash my flannel sheets hot because they are sheets or cold because they are flannel? I know I have figured this out before...

Why are people so utterly horrific about RSVPing? Or, even if they DO RSVP, not showing up when they say they will? Grrrr. Our grad/housewarming party was nice, but certainly not the number of people we expected/assumed. We have a TON of leftover food, beer, and wine. The beer and wine can be stored, no big deal there. But the food waste pisses me off.

Le sigh. But we had fun and I was able to talk with lots of folks. My boss, who I adore, even came with his family and hung out in the back for a while.

I have posted a virtual house tour on FB...didn't take shots of K-Bug's room because she is off house sitting and I don't feel like spiffying up her room for pictures. One of the few times CJ's room is neater than K-Bug's.

Also, driving right after that movie is an exercise in self-control.

No kidding. I was glad the route from the local cinema to my house includes about 3 miles of highway driving.
