apparently, sickness has occurred. this may explain why i haven't felt like myself for a few days.

did something stupid last night, apologized for it today, and bought josh the special edition of dogma (i had gift certs so it was about $10 off) as an i'm really sorry present. went out, go my car tag, went to walmart (on the east side, not something i usually do) and got another shelf (we just need the actual shelves as we're making out big shelf partially into paper storage) and air filters (yay, now, let's hope they fit) for our cenrral air system. ugh. got my dry cleaning, and paid my cell phone bill. woohoo.
still have bunches to do - trying to get all the clothes washed and put up, the studio emptied of trash and thrift store items, and donations to the shop, clean up kitty messes and litter boxes, and finish reading the tailoring book. going to the library might not be a bad idea, either, come to think of it. :) but first, i'll do a little research online, so that when i get there, all i have to do is go in and get books.
and i want to clean up the kitchen and living room a bit. josh did a *lot* yesterday, but there's still more to do, of course. my grandmother said that she was proud of me for cleaning, which she's been trying to get me to do for years. :) and i found out that we'll probably be doing most of our studio work in class, and that drafting, if i can work it, will be on the computer, so i don't technically *need* the studio as studio space, which doesn't help with the whole motivation thing, although now it's definately a challenge. it's close - we can't let it slip back now!

oh - and i can't get my hair straightened for a couple weeks, so i'll just be playing with it until then. it's probably for the best, really.. this way, i'll be *sure* i want to do it.

oh - anyone have any suggestions foodwise or otherwise while we're in new orleans? i don't really know how much time we'll have, but we'll at least need to eat. :)

and, any suggestions for web hosting? i just found out that earthlink took away my webpace, and i assume, trashed everything on it. (sigh)

yum. :) i put about three times the recommended amouint of peppermint oil into my aromatherapy diffuser, and now I can almost breathe again. and the house smells yummy (I think. I hope.)

have an appointment with the health center tomorrow morning at 8:20, so that I can see if they know what it is that i have, if anything. I'm fearing bronchitis, but I suppose i'll wait and see. it has that familiarity to it, though. could be a chest cold instead of a head cold, though.

I went to the thrift store, and dropped off tons of stuff. Hopefully, that will improve josh's happiness. :) i know it improved mine. am currently defrosting the chicken for dinner. need to ask josh if he'll pick up ice cream on the way home as well. having apple dumplings for dessert, i think. this is all in the hopes that pat and rob will come over here and eat with us. it's early enough in the semester that we're not all too busy for that kind of stuff.

wrote most of my thank you cards today for christmas stuff,. I know, they're probably horribly late according to the standards of etiquette, but my theory has always been better late than never. i have two left to write, that I can think of, and I need more one cent stamps. i found holiday stamps from last year, and of course, they aren't quite enough for this year.

back to work with me.

so in getting my ballet bodice out of my couture "notebook", out falls my garde. so, i have to (of course) look through it, and go through all the little post its. at the beginning, i'm irked, and saying how glad i am that i'm not going through that anymore. by the end, i'm laughing my ass off, grateful to judy for actually going thorugh it and making the comments on it, and still, grateful I'm not there anymore! sure, the learning I want, but going thorugh absolute hell? i can learn in other ways, thanks.

now, buffy. :)
