Just because...
Feeling Productive
So, the bedroom got cleaned, the floors got vacuumed (bedroom, hall and bathroom and kitchen) to my satisfaction. The kitchen got wiped down and the bathroom (excluding tub) was scrubbed. M-SB did the hall and bathroom and all the dishes. I feel less like killing things in the house. The livingroom still needs the uber careful floor vacuuming and all the floors need to be mopped. That is Tuesday's project.
Today I managed to get all caught up on the preliminary edtis of my fanfic. I received a bunch of AMAZING reviews from people on www.fanfic.net. I feel good about my writing again. I am now preparing the next new chapters. They require assistance and research. I hope to have them up by the end of Tuesday. Another Tuesday Project!
Also today I was inspired to write a book review for WynterGreene. So I did. And it was sent off.
M-SB and I watched Kaena. I am downloaded Bridge to Terabithia and Ghost Rider for us for later. Pathfinder just finished downloading. Maybe we will watch it tomorrow over dinner.
Tomorrow... or, rather later today, I guess. *looks at timestamp* Ihave work at the store. I bus in and home again. Last 2 bus tickets. *ugh* I will prepare my lunch tonight to save some time in the morning.
I have a Tea Meditation to plan for Wednesday. I am excited. It has been fairly successful with my coven. I want to share it with everyone. Some staff members said they would stay there with me. Roo and Catharine. Plus I will have Karyn signing up tomorrow. So at least I will have 3 attendees. I hope more sign up soon. I need to pick a tea! *SQUEE*
Now I am off to bed.

Done AHAHA!
Well, the paper is DONE! I handed it in on Tuesday and then had a panic attack when I got an email from my teacher asking where it was and if she could have it the coming Monday. I informed her I dropped it into her mailbox last Tuesday. I have been a basket case unable to keep track of ANYTHING all week. Just yesterday, my teacher emailed me acknowledgement. Now I can relax and eagerly wait for my grade.
I went in to volunteer at the MPRC on Friday and started the madness of sprting the boox. OMG were they a mess. I amnot done. I want to go in and finish it. I think a volunteer is in on Monday. If so, I will direct him to continue where I left off. Sometime during the coming week... after I get a paycheck (because I have no transport money for bus tickets nor for gas and parking)... I will go back into the MPRC and finish my purge cleaning there. I need a lesson in the numbering that Dave started so I can get the rest of the donated MPRC books databased. It would also be nice to kow which books are in storage and which are in the MPRC. So much I want to see.
I also need to do a serious clean/purge of the classroom space. That is my May project. Along with my own househld spring purge. That had started at the beginning of April and is NOT going as well as I hoped. In fact it makes me exceptionally GROUCHY! I dust surfaces down and ask for the floors to be done. They get done only for me to need to do them again.... and again and again.It is coming to a point where I want to kick the husband out for 2 weeks and put the kitties into a kennel just so I can get the house into a state that I can tolerate for company.. Right now... I don't even want to be here. *sigh*
Today after breakfast... I will clean the bedroom... AGAIN. And vacuum it AGAIN, along all the wall edges and under things and in the nooks and crannies. Then the bathroom will get a scrubbing. Then I will dust down the kitchen and clean it and do those floors. I really hope the cats can survive with their litter because my student loan randomly went through this weekend and took out $44 leaving me in the negative. I can't get cat litter or anything till Wednesday. That money was supposed to go to cat litter, gecko sand and gecko food. *sigh* Well, cleaning ensues.
I am griping. Sorry all. I am just in a very crabby and grouchy mood. New kitten was bad all week shittinbg where he ought not to. All the kitties were keeping me up or other things woke me about every hour or two throughout the night for the past two days. I am tired and crabby and grouchy. I want things done MY WAY and NOW. *crab crab crab grouch grouch grouch*

Dairy Queen
We just got back with our first Dairy Queen of the season. MMMMmmm... Crispy Crunch Blizzard. I love this. It is my FAV! It will make me ill... but Mmmmm... I don't work tomorrow. I can be ill and write paper.
Updated
I have updated my list of links and stuff for this blog. Lookie... I posted... AGAIN! I figured, since I was up at like 7:00AM and was lazy in bed till 9:00AM today and the cats and birds outside and sun in my face made me get up... I might as well do something. So there... updated.
I think I will go have breakfast now.

Good Day
Wow... didn't think I would title something THAT anytime soon.
Well today WAS a good day. I was up early for no reason. The cats were decently behaved. Tsuki Yowls territorily at Ninja only 3-4% of the time now. I got a chunk of laundry done, had breakfast and was off to teach Grade 4. The weather was incredible! The two grade 4 classes I taught today were decent. I felt good about myself as a teacher. I taught math and I think they got it. I also taught symmetry in Art through mandalas.
I got home and did some gardening. I cleaned up my herb garden and turned the soil a bit, trying to preserve my sad looking carnations. I also planed some strawberries. Wonder if they will grow. Dishes got washed and shepard's pie was made.
This evening I edited some fanfic and watched yet another AMAZING movie. Freedom Writers! Another MUST OWN!! It is a true story... and... They now have an institute: The Freedom Writers Foundation. Well, so very good.
I guess I am off now for a while again. I have a paper to write for Tuesday!

New kitten (cat?)
So, M-SB finishes work early today and goes to the vet to buy our cat food. I get a call from him at the vet:
S: "Hello?"
M: "hi S."
S: "Why are you calling from the vet?"
M: "They have this kitten for adoption"
S: "K..." *wonders where this is going and has a good feeling she knows...*
M: "It's a male. He's all fixed with all his shots and everything."
S: "Let me guess, you like him"
M: "Ya, he is all treated and friendly"
S: *worries it is a long-haired roadkill kitty* "And you have fallen in love with him?"
M: "he has good energy..." *sounding all hopeful*
S: "Is it a kitten?" *still worrying and wondering*
M: "He's 7 months old"
S: "And you want to take him home" *figuring she can't say no since he let her buy a $2500 big savannah kitty*
M: "Ya."
S: "He'll need kitten food, but I guess he is old enough to eat the adult food with the rest of the big boys"
M: "I'll put gas in the car. Can you come get us?"
S: *laughs* "alright" *still worries that it is a longhaired roadkill kiyy*
As it turns out, the kitty is a purry and mostly friendly sleek ninja black kitty with 3 single white hairs. He is a bit growly with Tsuki and makes Tsuki YOWL and PUFF like a guard cat. I will post pictures once M-SB sorts out the camera's new memory thingy.
OH! And finally got my Chinese painting framed. OMG, I had forgotten how GORGEOUS it is!! I can hardly wait to show it off!

Weekend off! ~~~ with gastro ~~~
So, it is Easter Weekend. Happy Easter for those who celebrate it. My mom asked me if the Easter Bunny brought me anything... I said yes... GASTRO. I am sick. Most disgusting illness EVER!!
So, I have a weekend off where I was supposed to focus on my termpaper and presentation as well as house cleaning... you know... that Spring Cleaning I keep trying to get to. Instead I spent the time worshipping the porcelin gods. *sigh*
Today is a bit better. I am not nauseous. Just tired. I am having a bit of cereal and hoping to have some energy soon. I washed a load of dishes and know that there is a TON of stuff yet to do. The house digusts me. I don't want to be here.
I emailed my teacher to inform her that I am ill and won't bring this to class tomorrow.
So what am I actually doing? Slowly nibbling cereal. Editing my fanfic and putting it up on www.fanfiction.net as I go one chapter at a time. Then little by little, cleaning here and there as I have the energy. Homework has dropped low on my priority list.
BLEH! the cereal when cold. well... I managed 2/3 of the bowl. I guess that is progress. I will go edit another paragraph, then clean the bedroom.

Hunh?!
So, I watched the movie "Curse of the Goldren Flower" with Chow Yun Fat. There are some other decent names in there from other good Asian films. And all I can say is... HUNH?! I... don't get it. Did I miss something? What was the point of the film? I am not sure whether it is good or bad. I feel like I am missing some crutial bits of informations to make it all make sense. Oh well.
