Month: June 2012

… thanks to the joys of procrastination! That and not feeling well rested when I wake up in the mornings. Bed was nice and comfy since I remade it after doing ALL THE LAUNDRY (this is significant as I own a LOT of clothing!). I'm bringing a remarkably small amount of CKI and Kiwanis branded… Continue reading To do list is shrinking, but obviously the largest tasks remain…

… as I'm leaving for New Orleans on Sunday. And slow is the right word. I'm not sleeping terribly well lately (not having issues falling asleep but I'm waking up before my alarm repeatedly, and often not feeling well rested), and took several short naps yesterday. But yesterday was a good day: I got most… Continue reading Slowly, getting things done…

… I got to play with my The Guild Munchkin cards for the first time. It was rather excellent as I hadn't played Munchkin in a rather rather long time. And The Guild Munchkin cards are pretty darn awesome! I mean, all the Zaboo lingo, and other turns of phrase, the fun artwork, and the… Continue reading After work last night…

It's coming down to my crunch time people… which means that I'm going to be ONE BUSY woman. *sighs* I still hope to finish my thesis this fall, but that's going to mean a LOT of work when I'm not out traveling and whatnot. And after the last several months, I know that the difficult… Continue reading Thesising for the next however many months…

So yesterday one of my friends from my CKI days (when I was a member that is) came to visit all the way from Alaska where he now lives! And it was great: we went to Famoso for lunch, followed by browsing at Wee Book Inn for books (he found one), to the Sam Steele… Continue reading A busy but AWESOME day! 🙂

… even if my body is sore afterward! This time it's not even my wrists (thank goodness!), and I had a great time. It was my second bike ride of the year, and I rode after work, to Cha Island Tea Company to visit with Basil and friends (he was visiting from out of town,… Continue reading Cycling can be truly awesome…

Sometimes watching the folks who take the bus is a pleasure (such as when I'm watching the antics of some smart cute kids and babies as I did on one bus ride yesterday). Sometimes it's just plain bizarre (like when I was greeted by an overly friendly bus driver who constantly joked and teased with… Continue reading Bus ride awesomeneses… or not?

… board games. Sure there are other great things, like having met some new people, having some new great friends, and having solidified some other friendships a bit better. But my love of both the social aspect of board gaming and the mental aspect of learning new games and game mechanics has really helped me… Continue reading One great thing about 2012 is…

… though that was sort of my plan. To run errands. Instead these plans were derailed by a desire to watch the social media storm unfolding surrounding the shooting deaths of three armoured car guards, the severe injury of another guard, and the manhunt that has since followed. Sure I was online last night until… Continue reading I didn't walk to campus today…

But I guess I've worked at the grocery store for more than 11 years now. Yesterday was my annual review, hence why I guess this struck me as being significant or something. Sure I've done a bunch else in the last bunch of years, particularly as I only work part time there, but that is… Continue reading Not sure I've mentioned this…
