stayed up til midnight, then woke up at 3:30, finally got out of bed at 5:30. I think this is the steroid shot.
Anyway, I washed dishes, made coffee, made myself breakfast & fed the dogs.
I need to do quite a few things today, so LIST TIME:
- sweep living room & kitchen
- vacuum living room area rug
- mail 4-5 things
- pick up mail for work (so it doesn't have to be done tomorrow)
- measure window pane
- get window screen out (I think it is caulked in)
- go buy window pane & anything else needed for repair
- replace window pane & make child help
- clean bathroom
- have child do laundry, pack bag, and do anything else needed for going to school tomorrow
- either take things to thrift store or list things on ebay
- pack lunch for tomorrow
- lay out clothes for tomorrow
- finish self-eval that was due yesterday
If time, things I would like to do
- read
- write general winter holiday cards
- cast on a hat to knit
I moved all on lj stuff from years gone by over to dreamwidth. I probably still won;t use it much, but figure I should find my people to follow there. I am msbelle there too.
half cleaned bathroom while showering and getting ready.
Now prepping mail.
Woke myself up coughing. Woohoo.
I deleted my Livejournal account. That felt weird. I don't think I've put more than one or two entries a year in since fandom moved to Tumblr, but once that was my main fannish source of info and interaction. I opened my account in 2002. Oh well. It's all archived over at Dreamwidth.
Speaking of things fannish, I woke up to 19 emails announcing authors I follow on AO3 had posted fic. That was a nice start to the year. Gaia bless Yuletide.
And I started the day with homemade Greek-style yogurt (yum), coffee, and 'Spurs football. Last night I played Firefly Clue (Jayne in the kitchen with a wrench), Doctor Who Yatzee and Bananagrams with a couple of friends while we waited out 2016.
Happy new year my bestistas
Hamiltistas, my friend's kid I met yesterday is named Eliza, and they haven't even heard the show! I tried to teach them how to sing her name properly....
I just remembered the visceral loathing I felt towards GWB and Cheney, especially as their administration went out. I couldn't bear to look at their faces. It's going to be worse.
I greet 2017 with a level of concern and fear above and beyond the Bush/Cheney advent. There was more foreknowledge of what we could expect from them. They were easier to anticipate and prepare for. I have no idea what will happen to my country and world in 2017. May they be completely dysfunctional and unable to accomplish any of their goals.

I love it.
I have coffeed and done as much mail prep as I am gonna do. I need to go measure the window, get a load of laundry in and get out the door.
Oh, I should do a laundry before heading out to family. But tomorrow is another day!
