This is me! But the body I'm dragging is my own.
*hugs the elven one*
But look at this, Milady. It will be so worth it when you're done (with your new home) and can sit down, look around and say, "I DID THIS! ME!" That's going to be so awesome with a quiet satisfaction that is definitely rewarding.
PS. I hope we're talking about you being so tired from renovating.

Yes, that's it. In between the work, I'm finding moments to enjoy the peace and serenity, like sitting on my front porch and listening to the sounds of the forest. Really it's listening to the quiet. It's so nice, whenever it's time to leave the property and go home for the day, I try to think of something else I need to do so I can stay a little longer. I find myself coming up with reasons to go out to the property every day that I can.
And you're right; I'm trying to do things I've never done myself before, learning how as I go. Yesterday I fixed a pvc pipe that led from my well pump into my water heater and on to the rest of my house. It's the main feed line for my water. Someone had cut through it with a hacksaw right between a corner elbow and a shut off valve. So I put in a new valve, elbow, length of pipe, and a coupler sleeve to join it all together. It was a little like gluing together one of those plastic model kits like my brother used to make when we were kids.

PVC pipe is the bane of my existence. LOL and there's nothing like well water. I adore living in the country even if I do complain from time to time about living in the sticks from time to time.

There are things to accomplish this morning which means pushing and pulling of my person because I certainly wish to just stay home and veg. *soft sigh* I had a wonderful evening and I don't want to go out, damn it but I have to. At least it's only for the morning.
I'm not giddy this morning, but quietly happy. This is another first. I can't explain it and I'm not about to try. Oddly, I'm feeling a lot more private. I'm not sure of the reason, but I believe it's a good thing.

The door opened and closed behind her. A small yawn left her lips, which she hid behind a hastily lifted hand. Keys were tossed into their keeping place. A foot lifted so she could remove a tennis shoe, letting it drop to the floor before she removed the other one. Bending over, she retrieved the set and stood up, catching a glimpse of herself in the mirror hanging over the small table in the hall. A small smile forms on her lips as her eyes caught her newest adornment. The fingers of her free hand touched it lightly.
Was she being a fool to try this again? If anyone had earned the right to this, it was Him. Patient. Caring. Dependable. Quiet strength. It was a start. Experiences, good or bad, weren't meant to stunt your growth. They were meant to help you grow. It took a courage she didn't even know she had, to even think of doing it again.
Tennis shoes were put away. Clothes were exchanged for something more comfortable to wear. A glass of wine was fetched. Silent reflection ensued.

I am stuck. I get so far with my threads and then I think... what next. I'll keep prodding and hopefully something will occur to me. There's only one thread that a reply comes readily to mind. I need to work on that one too today. I promised I would.
WoW has held me captive these past few days. Holiday event. Over next week so my obsession will ease up. What can I say? I have an opportunity to gear up my hunter without a lot of work. Meh, it makes someone else richer in the process, but that's fine with me. I don't have the patience for raids or even dungeons at the moment. I'll probably do dungeons once He levels up. Maybe. Right now, writing and spending time with Him is far more important.

Saturday? Already? *blink* Where did my week of "vacation" go? Well, at least, there's just two months of school left until summer break. I can handle that.
I think.
PS... whoever stole my braincell, please give it back. It's the only one I have and I need it.
*wonders if the Wolfling made off with it....*

Wow.
So totally a different day.
Whereas yesterday was busy from the get-go, today is laid back, which, I thoroughly wanted and needed.
Tomorrow is going to require some outdoor time to cut winter grasses back in the world beyond this one. Need to get a head start on the mowing.
And cake.
I want to bake a cake.
With chocolate frosting.
*nod*

Okay. Okay.
Treadmill done. Check
Dishes in dishwasher. Check.
Yard work...uh... tomorrow.
Post finished. Check, but not put up yet. I have a question for dryfter first.
I still need to check on the bunneh, pick up the girl child, deliver her home and pick up tri-tip for dinner from the store.
Then my day is officially done. Yay.
Is off to Geekdom.

He is so going to get a phone call tonight.
Hmmm.
Maybe I should have put this in the Last Thought thread.

A soft breeze blows across the tall grasses as I gaze out of my study window. I really need to get out there today and mow it down. Oh aye, I could have someone do it for me but I love the smell of freshly cut grass. I love having the ability to ride around, cutting the grass while letting my mind slip into a relaxed, easy state where thoughts and ideas flow more freely. I love the feel of the breeze and the sun kissing my skin, even through my clothing. So, yes, I will get out there sometime today before it gets too warm. At the moment, I sit at my desk, feet propped up, coffee cup in hand and letting my mind drift. Oatmeal laced with peaches and half a grapefruit was breakfast not long ago. I really should get off my arse and go shower, but I refuse to move just yet. It's not even eight o'clock. Eyes flicker toward the rolled up newspaper just whispering to me to unfurl it and read what it has to offer. My current reading material called, Iced by Karen Marie Moning also sings a siren's song. I glare at it. I just set it down. I have read at least two chapters while eating. Why can't it be content with that? I toss it a disgusted look but I really know that look is for myself. I'm the one that isn't content and won't be until I devour every written word on every page the book contains. However, doing so will mean nothing else gets done today and I truly need to get things done. I had plans for yesterday and I accomplished nothing. Today I need to make up for that.
A response for dryfter and Kingdom Besieged is yet needed and while I have some vague idea where I am going to go with it, nothing is solidified in my mind yet.
Dailies await me in the Land of Geekdom. I really am pulled in that direction right now. My fingers itch to log in, check the banker, do some dailies. Grind more rep. Ugh. Yesterday I realized my toon had a five in Archeology. Five. It's the only profession I have a hard time grinding. I'm not sure why. So, yesterday, while waiting for my darlin' to get home from work, I went to work on that. I have three more levels to accomplish. Maybe later. I have other things I want to grind first.
The anime series awaits me as well. Yes, anime. Never thought I'd say that. But Mr. Special is enamored of this series and how much will it hurt me to just take an interest in it? Surprisingly enough, to me, I find I like it. Oh, there are corny parts, but those parts make me laugh. It's the premise, the storyline, the underlying moral of it, simple as it may be, that shines through for me. These things make me smile. I need the smiles. The laughter. Water to a parched woman. They lighten my soul. Make my day brighter. Just two episodes to catch up on. I should do those first. There's still coffee in my cup. I have the time.
First, however, I need to compose a couple of PMs. Authors, looking for a writing partner. I must decline for now. Too much already on my plate. I hate that. Declining. I love writing. I love creating with others. I must be realistic. For the time being, I am far too busy. Preoccupied.
I don't regret a minute of it.

It's been a long day. I hadn't expected it to be busy but it quickly turned so. if I wasn't on the phone I was out of the house and in town. I am mentally exhausted. So much left undone today, damnitall. Ah well, I shall fit in what I can tomorrow and if it bleeds into the next day, so be it.
As for the other happenings across the country, my prayers for the lives lost, for those fighting for their lives and for strength for their families. Tragic and senseless. There's much too much of that going around these days.

4:30 comes awfully quick to this kitten. It's time I headed off to bed. Hopefully tomorrow won't fly by quite as quick as today did.

Okay, so it's my fault. I went to bed with the intent of getting plenty of sleep and I was sleepy. Stretched out and I was wide awake again. Ain't that a bitch?! So, I picked up my book and ended up finishing it off. 4:30 rolled in way to early for me. Still, I pushed through. My day is pretty much done now. I just have to pick up the roommate when he calls to let me know he's back in town.
Brain is mush. I didn't even attempt to work on responses today. I'm going to try to get to those this weekend. Family is staying over this coming weekend, but mi casa es su casa. First time here, you're a guest, after that you better get to know your way around because you're not a guest anymore. That's just how I roll. Mr. Special is busy this weekend and may well be away for the weekend, so I should have no distractions from writing. At least, that's what I'm telling myself. Yard work is logged for the weekend too. I only have the left side and backside of the house to mow.
Ooo. New catalog came in the mail. Full of pretties. Sharp. Pointy pretties.
*goes to drool over*

Damnit!
He keeps derailing my thought process.
A decent day. Kool April Nights are here. The streets were blocked off at 5:30 for the car show run. Totally awesome if you're into vintage cars that have been restored.
Tomorrow, yard work. Hmmm. I wonder if I can sneak off and take pictures of cherried out cars instead?
*yawn*
Either way, it's time for this girl to get some sleep.
