.:reflections of twilight:.

Well, Ernesto came... and went. There was a lot of rain and wind but not much else. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I mean, it could've been a lot worse.

Hopefully I can finish up my file burning so I can get other stuff done. I don't have much left, but I want to double check and see if I got everything burned that I wanted to before I delete stuff. I like to be cautious.

I need to call Human Resources today so I can see where my possible employment stands. I'll probably wait until this afternoon to do it though to give them a bit of a chance to call me.

We're still hanging in there after Ori. It still feels a bit strange. I think the other cats might be wondering what's going on.

As for the rest of the day, just basic household chore stuff. Take out the trash, do the dishes, blah blah blah...

Trivia of the day: Early in his career, William F. Buckley, Jr. was employed as a Spanish teacher at Yale.

You know, I keep thinking of these witty things to put in my journal, but by the time I get around to posting anything, I've forgotten them. Maybe I should keep a little notebook around my neck so I can remember what it is.

The house is beginning to look like a war zone. The lady we're staying with is going to be moving to North Carolina soon, so she's been packing up her things and things are in a bit of a disarray. So far we haven't heard anything about the potential housing situations we've looked into. I'm doing my best to hang on, but it's getting to be very hard. *sighs* I just have to hope that something comes along soon. I know, I've bored everyone with all of this stuff a lot, and for that I apologize.

I haven't heard anything about the job I applied for, but then I haven't checked my other e-mail yet. I still plan on applying to the one other place so I can cover my bases. I just don't know anymore.

Dad did say something interesting to me the other day. He said that if I wanted to, I could move up to Michigan and he'd help me with my housing and employment stuff. And for the first time, I seriously considered it. I mean, I can't stay here forever. However, I can't go anywhere anyway. I have too many responsibilities here. Mom needs me especially since grandma's no longer here. *sigh*

Last night's 'Everwood' episode was really cute. It had Bright/Hannah squee in it and the big rumor surrounding Kyle online turned out to be true. Not that I thought it wouldn't, but sometimes you can't trust some of the stuff you hear online.

And I went to the bookstore yesterday and picked up a copy of RK 25 finally! I really like this volume. Why? Because Yahiko kicks ass, that's why. Now I want to pick up the latest issue of 'Shojo Beat,' because I hear the 'Kaze Hikaru' chapter in it is really cute!! And you know me and cuteness! I also bought two Dave Barry books and a couple of magazines.

Today I have vacuuming to do and dishes to put away.

Trivia of the day: There is evidence to suggest that ginger root is effective against motion sickness and nausea when taken in powdered form.

Man, I love that little "My LJ" feature. It keeps track of all the birthdays and stuff. That's really cool.

Today I have to vacuum the carpet and sweep out the bathroom. It's not too bad. It gives me something to do until I become employed again. I mopped the kitchen yesterday. It looks much better, too. I also need to update my resume at some point.

You know, the word "vacuum" is a strange looking word, isn't it? I guess it's the double-u in it. "Continuum" is the same way. You can hear it more in that one than you can in vacuum. Don't mind me. I'm just being random.

I wrote more of the Pip/Seras/Xander triangle on ATACT. I first wrote Xander's POV, then Stampers wrote more on it and then I wrote on Seras and Pip's POV (sort of). I was pretty happy with how it came out. It just kinda happened. Kinda like a happy accident.

I wonder if there's a particular name for dog stink? Is it just "dog stink"? I ask because since I'm living with a dog now, it seems to be an issue I'm dealing with. Rusty is small enough to fit on one's lap, but with him comes the dog stink. Ugh. I guess that's another reason I'm more of a cat person. Plus, cats don't need to be let outdoors ten zillion different times a day.

I made an appointment to get my hair cut. I wanted to do it before we leave for Women of Faith this weekend. It needs it desperately.

Well, that's enough for now.
