dejanaWell, I'm back at work again, whee. Thanks for the support and well-wishes over the last few entries, everyone.
To my mixed delight and rage, there is almost no snow in this area whatsoever. A mere hundred miles south of my hometown it is bordering on spring, while I left my hometown buried under over TWO FEET of fresh snow. After all the snowing and scary driving and sliding around, I return south to find there is GRASS here. I'm relieved I won't have to worry about driving in snow anymore, but still. We'd had to cancel the movie night we had planned for Friday because the roads were a nightmare due to the ongoing blizzard. The injustice.
I'd planned to do some writing and programming last week, but I went out and got a new cross-stitch pattern and started that instead over the weekend. After Tuesday night's adventure I just wanted something I could sit quietly and do to keep my hands busy with a minimum of thinking. Danger, though, Will Robinson. It's probably not a good thing for me to be doing this when I've just got a bit of my writing spark back, because if anything's going to pull me off of writing for good, it's going to be a switch to another hobby, which I've been furiously trying to prevent from happening. Cross-stitching could be it if I'm not careful.
My godson's second birthday party was on Saturday. He's two already! ;_; I did the safe and smart thing by ordering him a couple of classic Sesame Street movies, "Follow That Bird" and the old Christmas Eve special. They're old, so nobody else would even consider buying them for him. Heh heh. I got to indulge my nostalgic side while getting him a fun present without worry that someone else would get him the same thing. Plus, it's not a toy (he gets tons of those), and some extra movies will give his mom a break from having to watch "Elmo in Grouchland" 50 times a day. It was a pity they sort of rushed him through opening all his presents, but meh.
It's back to same old same old now. Only a few more day shifts before some time off and then nights again. I need to rush off an AMV entry to my local con, and then make a new one this week for Anime North. *peruses ideas list* What to make, what to make...
I might be making something else for AN, too, but for now that's a secret. :3
