snapdragon76I can't believe the ridiculous heights some people took the whole "Apocalypse" nonsense. "The world is gonna end because an ancient civilization says so?"
Wow. Just... wow.
People can be so paranoid.
I know it's been a week since the horrific school shooting in Connecticut, and I really don't have much to say about it. I really don't. Words will not form.
I ended up not going into work today. Not due to illness or anything, I just worked my hours for the week. Mom's been going in earlier and so that meant I did too. I just hope my boss doesn't think I'm doing it deliberately or something. I did email her telling her I wasn't going to be in and didn't hear a response so no news is good news I guess in this case.
I suppose it's a good thing I ended up staying home since last night my toilet decided to spring a leak and upchuck water all over my bathroom floor. Thankfully it was water from the tank, so it was clean. Still, I wasn't happy about finding almost an inch of water on the floor and my rug soaked. I did turn the valve off so no more water would leak everywhere. If my toilet crashes through to the apartment below due to water damaged flooring, I'll know why.
I did make good use of my morning since I went and bought Christmas presents for my mom. She's the only person I need to shop for, so it's pretty easy. I got her a case for her cell phone. She puts it in her pocket and it gets covered in lint, so she wanted a cover that enveloped the phone, so I got a nice leather one as well as a stylus for her touch screen. Bless you Target!
I got home and told the front office about the toilet issue as well as a few minor problems that cropped up, such as a broken hinge on the kitchen cabinet under the sink and the busted ice maker in the freezer. I then thought the toilet issue was resolved until I went to use it again and noticed it leaking in the same spot. Luckily it hadn't been doing it for very long and the puddle was much much smaller and easier to clean. So now, until the top notch maintenance crew fixes it for good, I have to turn the water valve off behind the tank until it's time to flush, turn it on again after the bowl refills and turn it off again. Exciting.
Mom and I did go and see The Hobbit last weekend and I found it excellent. I know there were changes from the books, but I don't think it was detrimental to the story. I haven't finished the book yet actually. I just started reading it not long after we saw the movie since I figured it'd be an easier read than the LOTR trilogy. So far it is. Maybe one day I'll tackle the trilogy that is collecting dust on my shelf.
I sent my Christmas cards off a few days ago, so hopefully you'll get them fairly soon. You Canadians may be a little later though, depending on how fast the post office is on either side.
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas (or had a Happy Hanukkah) and I'll probably post a swag post on Tuesday.
