That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Hahahaha, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I'm assuming I can ignore it this week without actually looking too hard at it.

That's what I'll do for the next....month, probably.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I walked around our new bathroom, sticking tape on areas that need touch up. and that's about it. They are coming tomorrow to put the shower door in and touch up and then we are done! We put storage up where we used to have a big poster, so we now only have one place for a picture in the room. This is what we got: [link]

We put storage up where we used to have a big poster, so we now only have one place for a picture in the room.

If I ever came over, I'd probably spend too much time in the bathroom reading all the dictionary definitions!

Totally! And if I decide I want to relocate to Dublin in a couple of years, there'd be Buffistas there.

Okay. I have 5 bags and 1 box of books that I've culled. I probably should cull more. In fact, there are at least 4 books I took out of the "get rid of pile" that I will put back in, because I'm not going to read them. This means I get to flop and watch a movie for a couple of hours before packing my suitcase.

I may have to seize the cat.

In my bullet journal, I made a list of 3 most important things to do today: launder my improv outfit, plan and shop for groceries, and make dinner. One of these three got done (the laundry).

But I did an improv show that is called "Family Improv." The whole audience consisted of my sister, my brother, and my mother-in-law, so just for today, we renamed the show, "Kiba's Family Improv."

Bullet journalers, Google & I suspect instagram are full of ideas for making it an even better system. I myself wanted to buy a Get to Work book but they sold out before I could, so I watched the video and am implementing a lot of her structure into my current bullet journal. We'll see how it goes. I'm a bit of a productivity/organization geek/wonk, and consequently am one of those people who loses a lot of productivity because she's always trying to optimize her productivity.

Nora, exciting! Moving research is so much fun.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Went to the Annapolis Irish Festival today. It was fun, though I forgot a hat and my scalp is a bit pink. Managed to find shady spots at each of the stages.

The neighborhood list group is comparing sightings of a naked man on a major road. One saw him running and yelling and another said, "he was walking on the sidewalk holding his shoes in front of his - well you know -- just walking.....paramedics and swat cars pulled up and got him."

Hahahaha, yeah, that's so me.

I got my meal plan for next week written out and the relevant recipes put into Mealboard in hopes that I can track my pantry inventory. No actual cooking, of course. Still, I am exhausted. And will probably lose a bunch of time exploring your link, Kiba. But I'm enjoying myself and once this groundwork is laid next time should be easier. I hope.

Great picture, Scrappy!

The only other bullet journal thing that I have done is to create a tag list on the last page for topics of notes. Then I put a large block on the line for notes, near the edge, that matches the tag on the back page. It creates an index of sorts to find entries that all have to do with, say, the data project I'm working on, or text sets.

Like this which has pictures and is clearer than I'm making it: [link]
