.:reflections of twilight:.

It's Friday!! *dances for joy* I have a much greater appreciation for Friday's since I started working. However, my excitement has been slightly dampened by the fact I also work a couple of hours on Saturday too.

The network went down today at work for a time. No one could do anything at all on the computers. And since what I do heavily involves the computer… My thought is that since we're scanning the paper charts onto the computer database, what'll happen when something like this happens again, and for a longer period of time? We'd be up a creek, that's what.

I bought a Runaways print the other day. It was a steal for $25! I bought it from Christina (the colorist of the series. She has an LJ). I'm pretty excited. Useful? No. Worth it? You bet! I think I'll have it framed when it comes. *giddy*

Mom wants to go to the movies this weekend. She has gift certificates she got from Christmas and wants to use them.

I was playing DVD's on Hakuryuu yesterday. It was kinda fun. My Internet connection is sporadic at best, but I can get on for short periods of time. Snoopy plays DVD's, but like with everything else, it's extremely slow.

Now, the laundry awaits. *flutters away*

Word of the Day: brassard

n : a cloth worn on the upper arm

Here I am, typing this on Hakuryuu right this minute! *squuuueeeee* I'm still learning the rope of how it all works, especially since I'm not used to using a Mac, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it eventually. For instance, in posting an LJ entry. This is my second one since for some reason I lost my first one. Mom had to go to the FedEx place since no one was home when it was originally delivered, so I need to do something extra nice for her. And, dork that I am, I photographed the whole unpackaging procedure...

Work today was super stressful. I had Messages today and since most of the doctors and nurse Practitioners (except for one) , and so the messages were heavy today (on a normally light day). So, needless to say, I was frantic a bit. I was also beginning to feel the effects of my Crohn's also, which I didn't need. I have to meet with my Supervisor tomorrow morning, but I have no idea as to what it's in regards to. And, naturally, I tend to lean toward it being something bad... Ugh.

flamika, your card got sent back to me yesterday. I sent it to your school address, so maybe you could email it to me so I can compare it to the one I have in my address book.

Well, I'm gonna go and fiddle around with Hakuryuu some more and maybe peruse my FL some and try to find some of my links. Cool, this one is so much faster than Snoopy!

Word of the day: circumlocution

Why yes, I do like Glitter Graphics. Why do you ask?



Fifty books a month in my savings account? I can handle that... even though my bank account might not be able to.

So, this New Year's has gotten off to a mild start. Saturday mom had her own stuff she needed to do, which meant that I could do whatever I wanted to to. Since she has her own wheels now, it could actually be accomplished.

Yesterday I didn't go to church because I was feeling sick. Nausea and all that wonderful stuff. So I entertained myself by watching "Naruto Years Eve" on Cartoon Network.

Last night we watched the ball drop and toasted with our sparkling cider. T'was a very nice time. Before that, we watched "Little Women" on DVD.

Today, not a whole lot is in the works. I plan on spending quite a bit of time on my computer and watching some "Freaks and Geeks" that I had gotten for Christmas. I kinda plan on taking down my Christmas lights from my window.

And I'm thisclose to getting my MacBook. Just a few more days. And what's nice is that they have free 24-hour shipping. Soon, Hakuryuu will be mine! *giddy*

Well, I hope everyone has a pleasant New Year!!
