Tired, in pain and today both sucked and was wonderful.

It sucked because my knee has been the worst for ages and seeing the Christmas decorations reminds me that soon it will be the 3rd anniversary of my husbands death.

It was wonderful because my best friend came and had lunch with me and cheered me up and I'll be seeing her again on Sunday.

Six furnace filters + a bag containing 3 cans of pumpkin = very awkward walk home.

I haven't seen my husband in three days. I only know he's still alive because when I get up in the morning the shower curtain is still wet.

(OK, artistic exaggeration...but he came home for an hour last night and went back until 2 am. Left around 7 am this morning and won't be back until midnight or later. I would have lost my mind 4 years ago, I don't know how he does it. The expectations set for postdocs is inhumane.)

@Lady Legira *hugs* The holidays are a bit harder when you have lost somebody you care for during them.

Yesterday, I realized my friends are sociopaths.

Sample quotation:
"My boyfriend and I went to the movies yesterday."
"What did you see?"
"Twilight"
"Eeeeeew. You actually like them?!"
"No, but my boyfriend hates them more than I do, so it's okay..."

I'm drunk at 10:5-something am. But that's what happens when you work 3rds.
Roomie will be leaving tomorrow night. So looking forward to that.

Well, I bought the bullet and got a bike. As per the cries of many colleagues upon hearing this, I'm going to have the mother of all sore arses.

It's been a bit like that with me and my fiancée this week I've been working days and he's been working nights, I've been getting calls to wake me up first thing and then seeing him for about 10 minutes while he dashes off to work when I get back. Its been nice seeing him today (we both actually have the weekend off, Yay!).

It's nice to have a weekend at least. I'm glad you get to see him a little.

In our case, we're not missing each other, I am home with the toddler and the husband is at the lab 14-16 hours a day, 6 days a week. This isn't normal, usually he works 12-13 hours, 6 days a week. The extra time is because he has lab meeting...the Monday after Thanksgiving (how fucking cruel is THAT?!).

So if we're lucky we might see him for 4 hours or so on Thursday, other than that I am not expecting to see him at all next week.

I'm so exhausted. But I feel somewhat accomplished. I switch cars with my brother's old one as it gets better mileage and money is even tighter then ever now that my roommate is gone.
Speaking of her, I've slowly started cleaning up the mess she left in her wake when she left.
I should be asleep but I'm not. Not yet.

Just watched Truffant's adaptation of "Fahrenheit 451" and now I am thinking of places to hide our books. IKEA has those picture frames that are about an inch thick, I bet I could balance some on the back of the frame when I hang it.

Saw a license plate: SHUPRMN. Guess they wouldn't let him buy a 'T' for the third letter.

Because I tend to be lazy,my lips tend to dry out and split at times. This happens 2x a year. For se reason the "pain" of a split lip feels good and I fiddle with it. This freaks out hubby and he calls me Female Pinhead of Hellraiser.

So we played our first Iron Kingdoms RPG last night (And my first RPG ever) - OMG i have not laughed that hard in a while. We even got a "Gamers" reference in XD

I hit and killed the last enemy with a severe amount of overkill, and my character uses an explosive tipped lance. Said enemy was also between two of my friends. The GM says "And you guys win. You do how ever, look as if a vat of beef stroganoff exploded nearby.

Also got a bonus from the GM for putting a mouthy little dock clerk in his place XD (my specialisations are Iron Fang Pikeman, and Nobleman) - He tried to weasel a 'fee' out of me for arriving in the city, when I talked it down and he tried talking it up I commented "Surely you wouldn't want your supervisors questioning your sudden increase in income."

Cant wait for the next session.

Thank god for CNN and the BBC, since according to our local TV news, apparently absolutely nothing happened in the world today except Americans going shopping...
