    Long Day...
    I woke up early though and I was able to see some people earlier in the day ^^. This day was long though.

    After lunch, we went to visit mom and she was doing okay but my aunt has been chewing me out in phone calls for not calling enough (my mom told me not to call her though but I still do every so often. She wants more status reports and such though...).

    After that, I had my allergy shot. Then to Costco to see if they had a replacement office chair. I got our Christmas meal though. And I got some tissue for mom. Then to Petco for rawhide for the dogs on either side of our house. Then the bookstore for something for mom's teacher friend and something for dad. I finally settled on a Christian dog for mom's friend (since she always sends that sort of thing) and a 13 Mysteries of the Universe book for dad along with a gift card. Then I went over to Smart N Final for Yakault and green beans and yams for Christmas.

    Then we had to pick up my medication *dashes to the car to get it...cause I forgot*...and then supper at around 8 pm after all that. Pick Up Stix. It was nice. Then I tried Staples for chairs but nothing really worked. Best Buy had none so we went home and now I'm finally here...after about 10 hours out. Loooong X_X....

    I wish I could give to friends online like I used to in years past but my savings have been hit hard X_X. Sorry everyone...

    X_X...
    I had MSN lock up for a while...sorry about that to all.

    I wrote a good bit of A Touch Too Close 3 and Paranosis.

    I'm holding off posting the rest of the story here until I have it complete. Till then, it's on DeviantArt ^^.

    Also, I have two new Christmas stories. One is a retelling of the Twelve Days of Christmas with Complaints silliness. It's not as complex as my Mecchen House Katsumi-taking-down-Santa-and-zapping-him-poem-and-silliness effort but still ^^. And I have a short for a contest based on the idea of a Christmas wish ^^. It's basically a long caption (and in the same, sentimental style) but it was fun.

    Both can be found here....

    Chair Broke...
    Bummer there. I didn't do anything to it. Must be nascent telekinetic powers or just random wear with age. The replacement chair from Wal-Mart was unfortunately evil and tinier than expected and impossible to put together X_X.

    Rats...
    Mom is going back to the hospital because she's throwing up again. That's all I've heard right now. They have a quarantine of that facility right now, so I don't know why they wouldn't just move her over to the quarantine area. Unless it's a separate illness. Not hearing much right now.

    I'll work on my story a little later but it's a bummer to hear about this because she was otherwise doing well. I'll wait and see on more information soon...

    EDIT---
    My debit card turned up...in the washing machine. That mystery solved. I thought I looked everywhere in my jeans X_X.

    Sunday Headaches
    Starting with a blistering headache in the early morning keeping me from focusing long enough to write anything I wanted to write last night.

    Very poor sleep. Very early wakeup. My dad gone visiting for the day. And I visited mom on my own and took the Snoopy figure from Hallmark I got for mom. It was nice and I read her some stories and things.

    Then I tried to go to Bath and Body Works for some things to give away for Christmas...and I realized my debit card was absolutely gone.

    I was gonna pick up dinner around there and be home to relax early. Instead I wasted about two hours on driving back and forth and coming back and getting the B&BW stuff later. And I didn't even find my card. And my account password changed online (which really concerned me).

    I had it changed and then altered for safety later. And I'll get a new card but probably not before Christmas so it's gonna be tough for buying things since I don't hold a lot of cash usually. I deposit what I can save for needs.

    And then I had to wait a damn hour at Olive Garden for what will essentially be dad's birthday supper early. Unless we go out again and I don't much feel like it for Monday. I need to give him my card for tomorrow before things get hectic.

    So in short, it wasn't terrible pleasant for a Sunday. Give it another go tomorrow. I did manage to get all the cleaning done...

    But there's some cool new video game music tracks on SupraDarky ^^.

    What's on My Mind
    + I'm glad Anna is okay but I'm bummed she was stuck out in super snow and had to sleep in her car at work for a while. *sends lots of love and blessings to them*. Also, I wish I could send her a new, good PC because she's stuck with Window 95 X_X.

    + I had some vague ideas today and some vague dreams last night. I remember peeling a Starburst. I think it was in another universe because everything felt so real but I was just getting it in blips. I also remember the other night there was a folding TV in the other room with a three foot PS3 and some other electronics. Otherwise, I can't recall much.

    + Bookworm DS is an addiction. I put in many hours a day. I'm trying to get to 100 percent but I'm still at 75 percent. I dunno if that counts all the rooms or the special word lists too. I usually get a couple words of the lists each day. Today I received Kingdom Hearts three-hundred...fifty...sixty? divided by...it's the new Kingdom Hearts on the DS. But I only played a little before I went back to Bookworm. I still need to finish the new Zelda too. It's semi-zappy with Zelda's body being used by someone else and her in other forms.

    + Figures I always wind up at the library 15 minutes before it's about to close.

    + Season Two of Babylon 5 is quite good. My major qualm would be that some characters flat out vanish for a good while and it's odd (Talia...G'Kar's aide...even Vir and Londo for some episodes). Of course, I've watched Lost for a long time so I'm kinda used to it...I could offer more reviews of what I think of the show, if anyone is interested.

    + We have some nice (chicken) kabobs out tonight and I read a bit more from the Philip K. Dick compilation of short stories I borrowed from the local library. What I read a bit of tonight was "Second Variety", which I instantly realized was the inspiration for the movie Screamers. Good story so far and I've liked the rest in the compilation.

    + The books I have out from the library are...
    Selected Stories of Philip K. Dick - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selected_Stories_of_Philip_K._Dick

    The New Weird - http://www.amazon.com/New-Weird-Ann-VanderMeer/dp/1892391554

    The Complete Stories of J.G. Ballard - http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Stories-J-G-Ballard/dp/0393072622 (over 1200 pages...98 stories ^^; no way I'll ever finish it but it's just so sumptuous...).

    And Another Thing by Eoin Colfer - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_Another_Thing..._%28novel%29

    Federations (a great compilation about galactic societies) - http://www.amazon.com/Federations-John-Joseph-Adams/dp/1607012014

    And I have a hold for Under the Dome by Stephen King. I'm 81st now...I was 190th when I started the hold order...

    *Hopes Anna is okay*
    Haven't heard anything from Anna in a few days. Could be library outage due to heavy snow or snow in general but I hope Anna is okay and I'm sending the giant snow-melting laser into position (it also doubles as a gender-change ray).

    Seriously though, I hope Anna is well and everything's okay.

    Life
    Life is about the same as usual. I started some beginning work on Christmas-type stories. Paranosis is still going along but a couple hundred words at a time.

    We can't visit mom because the whole nursing facility is under quarantine for stomach flu the last week. Hopefully we'll be able to go in soon, even if it's against their advice and legal culpability.

    I need to pay off my school for next year, we need to buy some stuffs (like furniture). But otherwise things are okay. Working when I can. Tired a bit.

    Decent Sunday
    May be Tues when we can visit mom again. I played a bit of Bookworm on the DS and it's darned addictive X_X.

    Carino's supper was half-price but wasn't their best offering of major restaurant Italian.

    I'm still avoiding my new glasses because they weird my eyes out. I'll have to shift over to them eventually though.

    Blah day but okay I guess...
    I had a brutal headache most of the day. We had a nice supper though. The power went out a little due to the storm but I was able to take a good chunk out of the Christmas cards mom wanted me to send. Tomorrow, we buy the cans of popcorn and the special cards she wants for two people in particular.

    Still sick X_X
    I played a little Spirit Tracks to pass the time and it was much better than previous DS Zelda. The zappy elements with Zelda as the ghost/helper/fairy are amusing ^^. She needed to leave her body before she could get an active role in things ^^;;;...poor Zelda.

    My New Years Resolution: Be A Girl
    A doctor greenlit me for hormones, so I will have them come January assuming everything goes according to plan.

    I'm really excited. Scared and excited.
