insomnia is educational!

you're always a day away
Dec. 20th, 2005 03:12 pm*rar* Still no damned money. The present theory is 'tomorrow'. Which was what was said yesterday, the day before, the day before that, et al. This is like the Jamaican version of 'soon', isn't it? And the worst of this is that NOTHING is getting done/mailed/purchased until SOMEONE pays their bills. Which will be tomorrow. Or so the CBC claims. (/random fruhead joke) Again, my sincerest apologies.
In other news: I totally want this.
Happy random disconnected things: I am somewhat less sick. The child is learning the word 'no'. (To say it, not understand it. He already understands it well enough, and complies ... as well as most four year olds ever do. I never thought I'd hear myself say that I was happy to have him say 'no', given the usual phases children go through. One takes one's small victories where one can find them, I suppose.) I got holiday cards fromemmalynne and dandelion_diva. There's a Law and Order marathon Christmas Day. I no longer have appalling leg cramps or random nausea. Crystallized ginger is the best thing ever. The snow is pretty much gone. I got a random amusing text message from thenowhere. :-D)
Something I forgot to mention: there were a couple of guys who had obviously seen 'Sideways' at the Christmas party and were going on and on and on about merlot, which was funny for about thirty seconds. If I were male, I so would have drank the entire bottle just to be contrary, except that (a) I'm not male (2) I hate red wine and (iii) I don't like drinking much in public, or indeed in private (having pre-existing lousy coordination and balance doesn't make excessive alcohol your friend.) But I would have gotten over the last two parts.
