A bit from last night & stuff from today.

Written December 9, 2008.

*growls* I really just want to beat on this computer tonight…I don’t know what its bloody problem is, but I’m sick of it!

I can’t open anything written in works. Which means ANYTHING I’ve written on this computer. Anything transferred from the other computers (as I’m fairly certain it converted them all when I transferred them).

I can’t print anything…As apparently the computer has lost the printer!
And speaking of things it’s lost…It’s lost all my saved names/passwords for OpenDiary (at least, if not elsewhere as well). I was not impressed when I had to attempt to remember Raven’s password…And there are a couple that I haven’t a clue about anymore! O.o *screams*

Well…That is my vent for the moment…As I felt the need to do it before tossing the computer across the room…I mean shut it down.
I’m hoping, by some kind of miracle, that after it shuts down, and takes a nap for the rest of the night, that it will play nicely come tomorrow. Otherwise…I don’t bloody well know. 🙁 <— I’ve gotten use to the make-themselves-faces on Works. This just sucks!

December 10th.

Okays…I is feeling betters, as the program I write in is now working and happy once more. Which means I’m happy once more…Then again, I was a bit on the happy side after last night/early hours of the morning anyway. J

Appa is no longer stuck. He got unstuck way before we were expecting him to. & I’m not even going to complain about the broken headlight…It still works, the plastic covering is just a bit on the busted side. [Stupid passenger side windshield wiper has quit working as well…That’s more on the annoying side…Goes with the now cracked windshield, as a stone hit it about a week ago, chipped it, and now it’s attempting to run away. Anyway…]

Phone rang a bit before 2 AM. I’m not exactly sure why, as Todd wasn’t looking for me to come and pick him up. I guess it was one of those thinking he should call me, and the guy he was with happened to have a cell phone, so he used it. J
He apologized for waking me up. Told him it was okay. We talked a little bit, then he said something about letting me go so I could get back to sleep. I said it was good he hadn’t called for anything else, as I couldn’t have gone and gotten him because Appa was stuck. He was like ‘seriously?’. Told him yeah, that I’d managed to get the Blazer stuck in the driveway.
He said something about coming over and getting it unstuck, but they weren’t ready to leave yet, so he wasn’t sure if they would or not. We said our good-byes, and I went back to sleep with the thought that it would be nice to see him, but I definitely wasn’t expecting him to show up.

Around 3:00 AM I was woke up…Not sure exactly why I stirred to begin with…As the door opening doesn’t usually wake me up…But there was the door opening, and Todd walking in. *grins* He came to rescue me from being stuck! J

It took him and his friend a bit, but they finally got Appa unstuck from the hole I’d managed to put him in.
 

Todd had to leave too soon for my liking (though he did stay the rest of the night). It was just up early for his usual. His friend Dave had to be back in town to go to work fairly early I guess…& Todd had to work tonight too. We had a good night though, least I think so. *smiles*

& despite his usual avoidance of sharing morning breath, I still managed to get a couple good-bye kisses. & not just the quick kiss and go. [I think he might have missed me a little. *giggles*]

It was just good to see him…To get to hold him, to be held by him…To hug him, to kiss him. Meanie stole his T-shirts back this morning though. *laughs* Didn’t really expect to get to keep them…It was still nice to have custody of them for a while.

Okay…Now, after a page of talking about Todd. *laughs*

Traverse City use to have a state mental hospital. The building is quite beautiful, breathtaking actually. I would love to own it. It could almost be a castle. They closed it down quite a few years ago. Some of the building still remains empty (parts of it are reported to be haunted). Some of it was used for a teaching hospital, I believe. Well…I found out Monday that it also houses several little shops, and at least one restaurant. It just happened to be the restaurant that my Creative Writing class met at for our last class. J So I got to eat lunch there. Twas a little pricey, but the food was good.

Forgot to mention that I did turn in my story of Easy Prey for consideration in the short story competition. Even if I don’t win the $100.00 prize it would be nice to be among those mentioned. I think they are suppose to pick a winner and three runner-ups. The runner-ups don’t win anything…But they at least know they were in the top part of the competition.

Sonja came home early from school today, not feeling well again. L Though she seemed to be feeling fine of the most part. *pokes her with sticks* She’s going tomorrow, and not coming home till she’s suppose to.

I painted ornaments…Got most of them done…Still need to know 3 colors so I can finish them…I need to remember to send notes with kids to find out. Plus I also decided to look for some little bows (as I’m making wreaths this year) to put on them, instead of painting them on (I figure they will look better).

I need to order a couple things online…One of Harley’s presents…It’s not going to be quite the right color…He’s got a red Xweetok (sp) on Neopets…I can only find a yellow one. Sonja is going to be getting an identical match to her Neopets of Mr.FluffyFive.

After Harley got out of school, we went to look for trees. So now we have a loverly tree leaning up against the wall in the dinning room, waiting for me to 1) Get a bag-thing to put underneath the tree (as Mum is under the delusion that it will contain the needles), 2) Figure out where the tree-stand went into hiding at.
It’s a 6 foot white pine, nice & full with beautiful, soft needles.

I’ve come up with a thought of something for Mum for Yule…It’s only a little something, but something none-the-less. Harley has had this one mug for a few years now…It’s a tall mug, yellow with a stocking on it. That’s one that he drinks his cocoa out of usually. Well…While Raya was here, she and I would get specialty hot cocoas, yummy flavored ones, and we each had a tall mug we would drink out of. Mine is red with bells on it, hers was blue with snowmen (all Yule/Winter themed). Well…Sonja has taken to using Aunt Wolfie’s mug now.
A couple times I’ve made hot cocoa for all of here, and Mum is the only one that doesn’t have a tall cup that is especially for her to drink out of. So…I need to find her one, so that she can have one of her own.

I didn’t get to poking through what I’ve gotten so far…What with Sonja being home & my room being cold when the fireplace is going. [That was one thing Todd commented on…My room was actually warm last night. Time before last he was here was before the furnace was fixed, so it was cold…& Halloween night he really didn’t pay much attention…It was after all 6 AM by the time we went to sleep, and it was near instant sleep upon going in my room.]

Okay…As to not get back into rambling about Todd again, I will finish up here.
I’ve got my last bit of school tomorrow…15 minutes for a portfolio review…I’m thinking about hanging out for lunch at West Hall…Keep James company for a bit.

*skips off* J
