100 Things #2: Savings Successes.
Jun. 4th, 2012 10:40 pmI'm going to apologize in advance for any typos that happen in today's 100 Things entry; I'm so worn out from work over the last few days my eyes have actually sort of stopped focusing properly. I'm surprised I'm clear-eyed enough to see what I'm doing now; I haven't been able to concentrate on reading all day because of it. I wonder if it's got anything to do with the fact that I haven't had a cup of coffee in three days. Vertigo's taken up a permanent residence in my head, and massive confusion upon waking up reigns. I can't follow myself from one end of a thought to the other, I'm so disoriented. But I'm going ot soldier on with the second thing on my list: Success in Saving.
( I am well aware that for a 100 Things I Like post, this is almost maddeningly practical. )
Damage Control, continued...
Dec. 19th, 2011 12:05 pmThe water is all up.
I found spots I missed in an interesting way. See, the water here is actually overtreated. There's so much chlorine in it that the spots that I missed are blindingly white—at least for now. Won't last long. The water also contains sediment.
The towels are all done now as well. Being on the majority ancient hand-me-downs, only a few came out blinding white. But they are clean.
I steam-sanitized the entire floor. It now smells like needles and vanilla in here. Nice change of pace from gross rancid drain. ... I'll probably give the floor a second hit before bed. Just to make sure.
I still don't trust my outlets yet. I want to give those another few hours, just to be safe— which is why the phone update.
... now to wash the beige blanket/comforter/duvet/spread/other-synonym-for-fluffy-warm-linen.
Beige is bleach-safe, right?
EDIT, FIVE MINUTES LATER: It occurs to me that I have yet to eat anything. And I only got about 2 hours of sleep. ...I should fix both of those things, I reckon...
EDIT: 5:33 CST: I'd intended on making an early return to my writing and other stuffs, but…it's 48 degrees out, the windows are all open, the air's on, and I am blisteringly hot.
The apartment is NOT blisteringly hot according to company that was over earlier.
Aside from feeling dizzy and hot and having the chills, I feel fine!
…yeah, maybe Ms. Ague needs to lie down.

Ow ow ow. Long day is long!
May. 23rd, 2011 06:15 pmIt also wrought havoc with my head. Rapid storm systems like that usually cause an explosive migraine by the time they get here.
Today? Explosive migraine, blown by the winds like a kite, blown UPhill, slid down hill (through the mud!) after standing back up, and my knee decided it had had enough.
I'm taking a rest for today. I don't want my head to blow up.
I'll be back! *fist shake*
Annoyance! You're in the way!
Oct. 8th, 2008 03:14 pmI find out today as I replace the damned thing that someone actually tried to use the phone numerous times.
Bitches.
Someone seriously thought they'd have a chance to use the phone scot-free. I laugh at your ignorance, you thrice-damned thief. Nothing in this world is free except the chance to make money. And I doubt even that's free anymore.
$#@~ crooks. They'll get their comeuppance.
Or at least not for long. Now we're doomed! XD At least the last one should have shaken something important loose in the New Madrid fault.
News flash: I've got spyware. I don't have any idea what's going on with my machine, so I assume it's some sort of malware. Doesn't matter--I'm about to fix it.
I have to start saving up for random junk right now. I've got so much stuff waiting for me to find that I can't seem to figure out where to start off at right now. It's pure chaos.
Addendum to cascading!updates
Mar. 31st, 2008 04:24 pmThere's a couple of recent posts that I've gotten up that don't seem to want to display pics. I will fix them as quickly as I can but it won't be today…I have to find the password for my photobucket—I totally can't remember it right now. It's stashed somewhere.
Also, if I just bombasted anyone's watchlist, my bad, but I had to get those up before I forgot about them again ^_^;;;
Easter update: random update/thingy
Mar. 23rd, 2008 01:21 pmBefore I even get started-happy Easter/Equinox/Whatever You Celebrate. =)
So I’m sitting here on an Easter Sunday that has come at the earliest time that I can think of it having ever come on. There was a year where it showed up on the day after my birthday, and until this year I hadn’t thought that it could get any earlier, but come on…this is practically only half through the month, and there is, I do not think, any way for it to come on an even earlier date than this. But it got me to thinking. (Warning: pagan stuff follows XD)
Rant: Tea plus various off-topicness
Mar. 20th, 2008 04:49 pmI’m writing, and since I just ate, I decided to have a cup of tea. Of course, that is no real reason to have a cup of tea. Tea needs no real excuse to be had, you know. Just the two:
The presence of hot water in something, and something that can be brewed. There you have it, the only real reasons that you need to have tea.
On average I tend to drink about three to four cups a day, way down from six to seven; I haven’t been drinking as much of it as I used to because I had to start cutting back on the sugar. No real dietary reason for it, it’s just that if I have too much sugar, there’s no real way to know if I’ve gotten anything substantial into my system. So until I got some more stevia extract, I cut it back a bit. Now that I’ve got it, I’ve been able to drink tea as I should-often and sweet without as many calories. I’m up to a teaspoon today, since the extract is as strong as it is.
