look at me still talking when there's science to do

a good, if domestic day. Emiliy was here yesterday while I went to my consultation with the oral surgeon: while i was gone she cleaned the apartment. and today she came back to help organize things, so she organized some of my yarn and now my spices are alphabetized in an organized fashion and the built in cabinet is organized and clean and i labelled and organized all of my staples (rice and dried beans and different kinds of flour and stuff) in dymo-labelled plastic seventies tupperware canisters i got on ebay and big yogurt containers (until i can get more tupperware canisters) It's beautiful and I can find everything and i'm so grateful i could cry. the apartment is almost where i want it now (i need wall art and small shelves for things and maybe a bigger dining room table) but i will take pictures when i get more camera batteries.

seaners went to the park with emily for an hour or so and they met one of his school friends there. he pushed himself on the swings for ages (and then he'd stop for a little bit and sign 'more' to himself and start up again. dork)

and then he came home and used the potty, and now we're watching planet earth. the end.

i'm exhausted - i think i'm getting sick; but i'm very, very happy. and i have wonderful friends. and a pretty damn good kid.

Things I have done;

Applied for a whole lot of (like, I don't know, a lot) jobs. Hate applying for jobs as my resume is pathetic and looks like I haven't worked in seven years (which I haven't). Discouraging. Attempting to be slightly hopeful that at least one of them might at least give me an interview.

Cruised the SIFF lineup for this year. Found at least seven kickass films I want to see; made reservations for six of them using freebies in six pack, am waiting until at least tomorrow to get the rest (am likely just going to buy another six-pack of tickets on payday). Oh god, I love movies so much. so freaking hyped about this, OMG OMG OMG OMG. (Will post SIFF schedule once it's been finalized what all I'm seeing in case anyone else wants to tag along to a showing. <3)

And newtypeshadow is coming to town for three weeks ... OMG this is just going to be AWESOME AND WIN for the next little while.

(Will ignore the little voice that says I fail at adulthood because of the whole lack of job thing, that I've wasted a whole bunch of time with pain and dealing with boy issues and now I'll never find a job because everyone in the whole world has more qualifications than I do.) (Or try to.)

It's mother's day! Seaners made me a pot and planted a mystery seed in it! tallin informs me there will be other gifts later.

doubletake came by yesterday; I was expecting her to watch Sean for about half an hour while Chris ran errands, but instead she did that, made dinner and cleaned the whole house. She too is far too good to me.

How about you?
