I'm going to be starting dinner soon. Tomorrow's payday and for once, we won't have to rush. Skywise will get home around midnight so we'll actually get some sleep! We'll still have running around to do but we won't be exhausted and/or rushed.

Greetings!
We're back from town with time to spare! YAY!  I'm going to be making some tea here in a minute and then getting organized for the rest of the day. I've got a post or two to make and then I'll be a busy, busy girl!
Later.

Omm: I really, REALLY need to get to the Children's Museum gift shop so I can stock up on clear, quartz crystal. I suddenly find myself needing a lot more than I have on hand.

Well, we've done all we can do on the copier right now. The last thing to try is a new ink cartridge which I ordered a few minutes ago. We know we're going to need to get a new copier in a few years but we'd like to delay that for a while if we can. A new one will cost considerably less than the one we have, thank goodness, but a new ink cartridge costs even less so we're gonna try that first!
I'm working on Book 3, a scene between Our Heroine and her newly discovered niece. The girl has issues (which I will need to develop) and attitude but she's a good kid who has had a rough time of it. I decided that immediate bonding between father and daughter would be the easy way to go so I decided head in the opposite direction....
The new cartridge arrived. It isn't a Canon one which leads me to suspect that Canon doesn't make cartridges for this model anymore. Oh happy day! We've gotten used to having a "legal sized" copier around here so I guess "a hunting we will go" is likely to be sooner rather than later. At least Skywise has some idea of what to get, thanks to the number and types of office machines at the Post Office.

Smallville in a couple of hours. It should be a good one. A perfect start to the weekend. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the "Christmas Rush" holds off until after Thanksgiving. Wal-Mart is already decked out in Christmas stuff. The only "good" thing is that I've already picked out some new albums of Christmas music to get. Yeah, I know! Pagan person here but I LIKE Christmas music!

IMing with WD about this and that while a section of my brain considers Our Hero and his training. I think I'm going to need to make some notes...

Time for me to head out. Skywise is home and I can collapse without worry.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Afternoon.
I've been napping. I woke up tired this morning and was exhausted by the time we go home from Greenwood so once things were under control, I crashed and slept for about 3 hours. I feel much better now although I suspect that I'll need an early bedtime tonight!
Anyway, now to get caught up!

Morning!
I feel much better today than I did yesterday.  Smiley
It's clear, sunny and 41 degrees here. I think I'm going to have to dig out a sweater!
I've got some diagrams to draw as well as some other "non-computer" type chores to do so I'd better get busy!
Later!

I've been going through a PDF, separating that which is interesting and potentially useful from the worthless drivel. [The things I do in pursuit of knowledge!] Anyway, the task now is to separate the useful illustrations from the drivel and get them into the word document that will contain the useful info which I will later print out for my BOS. The author does NOT make it easy! Judicious printing along with cutting and old fashioned paste up may be necessary.  Smiley The author obviously does not have eye problems or he would realize that trying to read one of his online documents is damned hard on the eyes. There is at least one illustration that I "should" be able to find online but the others......  Smiley
The eyeballs need a break...
Later.

I was lucky. I was able to find two of the illustrations I need. I'm going to have to draw/redraw some of the illustrations myself and I won't be able -- at present -- to insert them in my word document so I may have to do some creative thinking.
Right now though, I'm getting ready to start dinner. Which I'll do as soon as the meat attains some degree of flexibility!
Later!

Afternoon.
Furry persons are running around on the roof...
Skywise and Moonie have taken the boycats out for a walk and I hear footsteps on the roof. Galloping ones -- which would be one or both of the boys -- and heavier ones that would be Skywise.
We went into town for lunch and stocked up on catfood and a few other odds and ends.  My GIMP Quick Start Guide came in the mail so I'll be reading it this afternoon...

Working on dinner now. Got a little reading done and drew a diagram that I need. The War Queen wasn't keen on me reading so I didn't get as much of that done as I would have liked. Oh well, there is always tomorrow!  Smiley

Morning!
It looks like November out there this morning. Chilly -- 39 degrees -- and foggy. According to the radar it will be raining later.  Skywise has the late shift today so I'll be up late. Better get my tea...

I find myself having to severely restrain my sarcasm.
When someone insists that she "hates drama" but goes out of her way to cause it, the hypocrisy takes my breath away and sparks my outrage. Calling her on it would be pointless though.  It would just be more drama for her to feed on and use for yet another bid for sympathy.
BUT. If she sneaks over here and reads this: Yeah, "sister", I'm talking about you. I have your number and so do a lot of other people. I'm not nearly was forbearing as I once was.
And THAT is all the "fair warning" you're going to get.  You got off easy last time, don't press your luck.

Rain, glorious RAIN!  Smiley It has been raining since early afternoon and from the looks of the radar, it will continue well into the night. YAY!!

It IS, of course, playing hell with the satellite reception but that is a small price to pay to see the drought lifted. It's too late for any crops, of course, but this rain will reduce the fire danger to something reasonable and start filling the ponds, lakes and reservoirs. It's a slow, steady rain so it's soaking into the ground too. The water table will appreciate that!  There is more rain in the forecast for later in the week so it "could" be (fingers crossed) that the drought is broken and we're back to normal weather patterns.

The rain has stopped but we got a good amount so I'm not complaining. I've been gamboling around the internet gathering information like flowers in the spring. It is AMAZING what you can find lying around out there!  Anyway, Skywise is on the really late shift tonight so I'll be starting dinner in about an hour or so although I could go to sleep now. Oh well, better make some more tea....
Later.

Afternoon!
We took off for Greenwood first thing since I needed some stuff from Radio Shack and that is where the nearest one is. We also hit the comics shop in the same strip mall and I got my WW and LSH fix as well as getting a sign from Uni that I should keep the faith. So the faith WILL be kept!  
Now I will get tea and get caught up. Later!
