| 9:53 pm | Power outages are a pain. We lost power for about an hour. Our whole apartment complex, and the ones we can see from our windows. I used the light from my laptop screen to find the battery powered lamp, and once I had that I tracked down flashlights and candles. I was just about to go to bed early when the power came back. Now I'll go to bed. |

| 3:52 pm | I've lost weight I'm not sure how much, because I haven't been weighing myself regularly. ( Read more... ) |

| 4:15 pm | I still have a Dreamwidth invitation if anyone wants one. Tree pollen is still bad, but at least the stuff that I'm most allergic to (birch and beech) washed away in the storms last week. I am now up to half a brain -- enough to want to work on game stuff, but not enough to actually, you know, write anything good. I have the idea of what I want to say, but the words aren't working. I'm going to try to limit my computer time this weekend. I'll be offline when the thunderstorms go through. (While I can still use the laptop, we take down the network in storms. Just in case.) But my back has been bothering me. If I can get it feeling better, tomorrow I'll go visit with the twins and their parents. But right now a 75 mile drive doesn't sound appealing. |

| 6:22 pm | I apologize to anyone I owe email or tags to; allergies have eaten my brain. I'll try to get caught up this weekend; feel free to nag me by email. I'm not deliberately ignoring you, but I may have forgotten stuff. I don't intend to do anything with my Dreamwidth account at the moment, other than claim my name, but I have some invitation codes if anyone wants one. |

| 8:34 pm | I know it was a discussion on lj -- probably a month or two ago -- that led me to reserve Michelle Sagara's Cast in Shadow. I had to wait for it -- only one copy in the county. I don't know how long it's been since a new book has gripped me and made me get the whole series. And read it twice. I've been reading favorite authors and re-reading old favorites for months, but Cast in Shadow gripped me and I had to finish it. Fortunately it was Friday when I got the next two, so it didn't matter that I stayed up until two reading. I bought the fourth one yesterday, and I'm just about finished my second run through it. I'm running a low-grade fever; I don't have any other definite symptoms, though. I think this is what my mother had this weekend. At least I can sleep late tomorrow; my boss asked me to take the late shift for her. |

| 8:50 pm | Better... I'm feeling better, but I'm going to be careful about what I eat for a couple of days. It was busy at work today, but I made it through the day. I'm tired, though. I'm going to try to get to bed early and hope tomorrow will be better. |

| 2:55 pm | Sick Stomach bug. Left work early, managed to get home safely. Low grade fever, chills. So far the chicken soup I had a little while ago is staying down. Going back to bed. Don't worry if you don't hear from me for a bit. Current Mood:  nauseated |

| 10:11 pm | Lunacon This woman had an awesome steampunk wheelchair. I asked her if there were pictures, and she told me: http://steampunktinman.livejournal.com/ |

| 9:39 pm | Lunacon... ...starts tomorrow. It's my local con, a twenty minute drive -- which is good because I have a lot to do tomorrow; packing, errands, chiropractor and getting my hair done. But once we get to the hotel, there should be a little time to relax and recover before the running around starts. I will be checking email whenever I go back to the room; I'm hoping that maybe there will be a game update or tag... I'm going to try to make the lj meet and greet. I'll try to be there when it starts, and cut out if it gets too crowded for me. I reallly don't like being in a mob of people. I'm not sure what the technical term for it is. Time to get ready for bed, because tomorrow is going to be busy. |

| 3:13 pm | Five years ago today... ...I picked up my new car, my first. An Ice Blue Saturn L-300. It's paid for now; I'm just waiting for the paper confirmation that it's MINE, ALL MINE from GMAC. |

| 8:24 pm | Home... ... and after 10 hours away from a computer it's amazing how much I have to catch up on. My new computer arrived yesterday, and I have begun to download the stuff I want to put on it. (Ye gods the patches on NWN2 are HUUGE! I hope the game is worth the trouble.) Today I went down to NJ to visit Suzanne and the twins. The babies were intent on eating, with short play breaks. She'd nurse one while I gave a bottle to the other. I left a little earlier than I'd planned, but the babies were both asleep, so I told Sue to take a nap while she could. Dave said hello when he got in, then went to bed. The babies had kept them up most of the night. They've gotten bigger and heavier and wigglier; they can almost hold their heads up by themselves now. It won't be too much longer before they won't stay where they're put. I'm going to try to catch up on lj and usenet and go to bed. The new computer can wait. |

| 7:09 pm | We started the day at work with training in the new computerized interlibrary loan system. We had the hour before the library opened, during which we went over the book procedures, then we had to leave the computer room and three of us adjourned upstairs to our office to go over the procedure for articles. That took about another half hour. Then I spent two hours creating forms to give the patrons, so that they will have all the correct information, and writing up the procedure in a simple fashion. I emailed the procedure write up to the teacher, she made one clarification, and I passed out copies to my boss, the branch manager, and the other departments. Alas, I have reluctantly decided I'm not quite well enough to go visit the babies this weekend. I have next Thursday off, because I'm working Saturday, so I'll go see them then. Also, for those who haven't heard from other sources, Marilee is in the hospital; her friend Steve has set up a forum here: http://tenuousnet.myfastforum.org/forum |

| 2:13 pm | Better today Well, the antibiotic hasn't actually kicked in yet, but my colleague with the broken hip was back today! Patrons were commenting on my cheerful smile this morning, because I was so glad she was back. We had pizza for lunch. Those on my f-list who are into fandoms might want to look at this: http://community.livejournal.com/spring |

| 4:03 pm | Snow day ( Read more... ) |

| 11:17 am | Storm coming... Well, at least the real snow storm isn't coming until after my brother leaves. He's catching an earlier train than he'd plannned, and that's the only time I plan to leave the house today. I'd rather I drove than my dad, in this weather. At least it is going to be heavy enough that they should close the library tomorrow. The conservative estimate is six inches, the worst is fourteen, total, from the storm. I'm definitely feeling 'under the weather'. I can't tell you how long it took me to realize that there was no point in making plans for getting stuff done on stormy days; I'm going to feel rotten until the storm passes. I don't know how this is going to combine with my sinus infection, but I doubt it will be fun. |

| 11:42 am | It looks like I have another sinus infection. I am blaming the heating system here at work. Being chilled doesn't make you sick, but in my case at least, it lowers resistance so that one of the bugs I'm exposed to gets me. I am functional enough to come to work, but my head hurts and brain is definitely set to 'slow' speed. It also means that going to visit the twins this weekend is not a good idea. :-( I hope at least one of my online games is active this weekend, or I'll be even crankier. Current Mood:  cranky |

| 9:23 am | brrr... It was sixty degrees Fahrenheit when I got to the Reference desk this morning. It has gone up two degrees since then, but I'm very glad I had my heavy wool cloak in the car. It makes it bearable, with my hat and fingerless gloves. I expect to be able to switch to my regular polar fleece cloak by lunchtime. |
