Happy (Fill-In The Blank) Day! :)

To my UK sibs -- Happy Boxing Day!

Today is my grandmother's birthday. The holidays used to be really packed and full of company because of it. (I'll write more on that later.)

And for some of my sibs, today is better known as St. Stephen's Day -- so here is a song to celebrate it with:

What I've Been Doing Lately

Well, lots of stuff. Nothing major just lots of little bits of different stuff. First, the weather has been just gorgeous lately. Walkies are fun! ;)

The night before Christmas Eve, *someone* puked on my keyboard -- and it wasn't me. *sighs* So on Christmas Eve, I was getting a brand new keyboard. Now I need to buy a protective skin because I do not want to deal with this again.

Christmas was quiet; I mostly talked to friends/family on the phone/online and reread my cards. Thank you again everyone. (And I do hope that at least some of my cards made it on time.) Oddly, nothing really good was on tv so I watched dvds instead. I got a lovely fic for my SeSa prezzie though. :)

As you may have guessed, I have pretty well moved over to dw. I was finally able to import everything from here even though it took two days to do it. Face it, lj is becoming more unstable and I just know that more ddos attacks will be coming soon. It's not that I think dw is perfect by any means but I want to be ready. I've got a lot of stuff here that I don't want to lose since I've been here for... idk... almost seven years? or whatever... (Personally I like insane journal better because you get 100 free icon slots! Yay for more icons! :) Oh and I *finally* got notices that I had lj-gifts, which apparently decided to show up after a nice long party in cyberspace, lol. My apologies for being so late (and a big Thank You) to spiced_wine and to fuzzy_carpet for the snowman cookies.

My latest project is cleaning out my laundry room since I need to have some plumbing work done in the bathroom. Ugh. So not fun. So now everything is torn up and in a mess but hopefully things will straighten out fast. We'll see. The kitten has been going crazy snooping and generally making a pest of himself, lol. the other cats are all majorly stressed about Things and Boxes being moved around.

I finished my mefa reviews at last. Yes! And I met my goal too. But I'm afraid that very little work has been done on my bb fic. I just seem to be written out right now. I wish I could feel like it will be finished but honestly, it's not looking good. :(

Ok, that's it for now. Ttyl, everyone! *hugs*

What I've Been Doing

I finally got my Blazer back last Wednesday. So I am mobile once more, yay!

Well basically, since Christmas Eve I have just been sick (again!) most of the time. Probably yet another of the yearly "colds" I get, especially when there is cold weather out. And believe me when I say the weather has been cold and clear but also raw and bitterly cold out, even with heavy clothing. Just a little bit of cold weather, and I seem to automatically go into hibernation mode. The worst of it is, I don't feel bad enough to go to dr. (again), so I hope this stays less nasty than what I had over Thanksgiving. And though I did go online, the screen gave me such a massive headache (on top of everything else, mostly a wretched stomach) that I had to log off almost instantly. Which means I will be horrendously late replying to people and I'll probably miss even more but I still hope that everyone had a good day.

Here, Christmas was very quiet though I did talk to some of my cousins on the phone. Boxing Day, Summer came over and brought me a plate of goodies, so that was nice of her. We chatted a bit but she didn't stay, as she had the baby with her and it was *cold*.

Today sounds like the last nice day weather-wise until after Jan. 1st, so I might go to Hastings and faff around a bit, just because. I haven't done any real shopping to speak of, and now that Christmas things are being heavily discounted, I should see if there is anything that I "need", lol.

I'll try to post more later, we'll see.
