With commute, I often had days that were 6am-9pm, and occasionally 8 am until midnight or later. It was really becoming unsustainable and the theatre had stopped giving me even one little bit of artistic or educational satisfaction. I always knew we were giving the students not the greatest education, but recently lacked the energy to at least make sure the costume students learned something.

Sophia, you should be proud of what you've accomplished!

If not for Google reminders, my place would be far messier than it is - I handle most of my daily maintenance tasks during the "Hey, get off your backside and look at something that isn't a computer screen for 10 minutes" breaks my laptop tosses up every hour.

This forking fog needs to take itself off before I head out for my haircut: bad enough it's a 20-mile drive . . . .

I have THREE second generation iMacs, two blue and one ruby!

Those are probably valuable and collectable. Don't just toss those in the bin before checking eBay.

Sophia-inspired: yesterday had a second bulk garbage pickup. Goodbye old encyclopedia and silverfish-infested Readers Digest books for projects I will never feel like doing ever again.

Then I went to the thrift store and donated unwanted books and DVDs and a passel of decorative outdoor flags I got tired of five years ago.

I feel like I have accomplished something!

I swear time is moving backwards today.

Honestly, I am not sure I have it in me to clean them up, see if they work, etc. it looks like they go between $60 and $299. I don't think I have the keyboards or mice (mouses?). There is actually a sort of weird independent computer store across the street, and I might just walk over there and see if he wants to get them from my attic.

I just made a little steak with blue cheese crumbles and spinach. Nom

Yum, steak and stuff. I tried making cooking bacon in the microwave since I am at work and do not have access to a stove or oven. Not great.

I think the old iMacs that are turned into cat beds and aquariums are so cute, but I don't know how hard that would be.

I ordered something for my niece's birthday. First they said the projected delivery date was the 27th, then the 29th. Now they're saying Dec 2, which is AFTER her birthday party. I would have paid for expedited shipping if I'd known they were shipping via FedEx.

I think microwave bacon is only OK if it is already pre-cooked. But- How does cooking steak on one burner dirty three burners!!?! How are people clean?

Shrift. That is annoying. I had a shipment of super duper great carpet cleaner just disappear. I ended up with a refund and ordering from another vendor. If anyone wants to know it is called Bac-Out and is a natural enzyme cleaner that gets rid of cat pee smell with no allergy issues, but also gets out stains like coffee and wine from carpets or other fabrics. I just this moment had the cat bat my coffee over, and I sprayed it with this stuff and blotted, and it was amazing. But it also totally got rid of the cat pee.
