So it’s like I keep missing Thursdays. They just fly right by me before I even realize they were there. I guess that’s because my weeks aren’t set up like that. I work a 6 nights on, 3 off schedule, and between the night shift schedule and the rotation around the work-week, I rarely know what day it is at all.

Anyway, here’s my list:

Thirteen Things about I Learned This Week

1. I can indeed do a provisional cast-on, and I can indeed knit lace! I got the first half of the first clue of the mystery stole done, and am working on the second half now, after a bit of frogging.
2. 100+ degree temperatures make me crabby, groggy, and unhappy. It has been waaaay too hot here.
3. I really really like the song ‘Rock Star’, by Nickelback. Too much, in fact. It’s in my head right now…
4. PGP - or rather, GnuPG - is sweet. Too bad I have no secrets to protect, and no one to exchange coded messages with. Nevertheless, I think I’ll encrypt some of my files, just because I can.
5. I need to lose 5-10 pounds, or buy bigger jeans. ASAP. *Ugh.*
6. I do not put as much sugar into my tea as I thought! For ages, I believed I was dumping /loads/ of sugar into my tea, but I finally measured it, and it came out to 1 tablespoon, plus like, 1/8th - 1/4th teaspoon full. That’s just a smidge over the ’serving size’. Heh. Isn’t that something?
7. My grandmother is moving to an Assisted Living facility in town. Yay for her!
8. I totally missed the new moon. *sad*
9. I simply cannot get anything done until the last possible minute. I try and try, but procrastination is like, in my blood or something. On a positive note, I do good work under pressure.
10. The new 911 system at work scares the piss out of me when a call comes in. It sounds like a freaking siren! That is probably what it’s supposed to do, granted, but…
11. I’d really like to learn to use mutt.
12. I need to re-ground myself and touch base with my spirituality again before I lose it. These past weeks have been difficult for a number of reasons, and I’d like to regain that feeling of renewal. Perhaps this coming sabbat - Lammas - I’ll try that and see what I can do.
13. Gods, Lammas is like, in 3 days!!!!!! *gape* How time flies when you’re not paying any attention to anything. *shamed*
