I'm done with today. Rocks fall; everyone dies.
In (mostly) less cranky news, I got CDs mailed out last night to everyone whose discs I've already received. Local folks should probably see them turn up tomorrow, everyone else should get them by the end of the week. There are a couple of playlists that I have that weren't included with the discs, and I don't actually remember who got which discs (it really was chosen randomly), so I'll email out the playlists to everyone later this week. Also, I put together the packages when I was exhausted and I don't think I sent anyone a copy of their own disc; if I did, ping me and I'll make you a copy of another one. Here's the slightly-more-cranky part: since there are two participants who I assume have backed out based on the fact that I've not heard anything from them since the sign-up, I don't have quite enough discs for everyone. I'll make extra copies of some other discs from my set of four in order to make up the shortfall for the remaining participant(s); if any of you object to my making an extra copy of your disc, let me know.

Dec. 8th, 2006 10:33 amToday I have:
I swear, the older I get, the less I seem capable of remembering.
*sigh* Guess I'm taking my lunch hour now to run home and get my wallet and write a new rent check.
- walked out of the house without leaving the Staples delivery authorization note so they'd leave my bookcases (BTW, Staples.com is selling the Situations bookshelves for 50% off; the 72" shelves are $24.99. Unfortunately, I found that if you buy two of them, that leaves you $0.02 away from free delivery. :-P So I got two bookshelves and a bag of rubber bands.)
- and without taking the temporary proof of auto insurance for my new policy effective today
- and without taking my car registration paperwork to put back in my car
- AND without my wallet, containing my driver's license
- nearly been driven into three separate times in my 20 mile commute (which of course wouldn't happen if I'd had all my paperwork with me)
- confirmed that the rent checks we mailed more than a week ago have been lost in the mail
- and some other stuff that merits a separate post
I swear, the older I get, the less I seem capable of remembering.

Carol of the "Meh"s
Dec. 20th, 2005 05:01 pmToday is Prickle-Prickle, day 62 in the season of The Aftermath, 3271.
Normally I really enjoy the end-of-year holiday season, starting with Thanksgiving and going through to New Year's. This year though, I seem to be pretty underwhelmed by the whole thing. Normally I'd be ready to put up the tree and decorate the first few days of December, but this year we just got started on that project very late on Sunday night. I haven't sent out any holiday cards. I haven't wrapped any of presents I have at home, I'm supremely uninterested in actually going out and shopping for more of them (and when I say I don't want to shop, that's an extremely unusual state of affairs), and I'm just inspired enough to sit home in my jammies and order from Amazon and Signals. Luckily, in most cases I still have time to do this since we're not likely to actually see anyone before the 7th. I thought this year I'd make good progress because I managed to get started on presents well before Thanksgiving, but it sort of came to a screeching halt right around Thanksgiving. Right about the time I started feeling pretty "meh" about the rest of the year, in fact.
The weird thing is, I'm not depressed this year. Well, maybe I am a little tiny bit thanks to the lack of light and the Martian Death Cold and some other stuff that's stressing me a bit, but on the whole I feel pretty darn good and certainly much, much better than I have in years past. You'd think that the holiday apathy might be more pronounced when I was in the depths of a serious depression, but that doesn't seem to be how it's working for me.
I don't know why I just don't care as much this year as I have previously. I have too much to get done at work by the end of the year to be able to take a couple of days off and just relax and maybe listen to non-obnoxious holiday music and bake cookies or wrap presents or something. Ah, well. I'll go do a bit of shopping tonight, swing by the post office to pick up small priority mail boxes and then stop by Wegman's to get a small turkey breast and stuff for Christmas dinner, and maybe ingredients for gingerbread. Maybe an evening of smelling gingerbread in the oven and wrapping presents will put me more in a holiday mood, but whether that happens or not will depend entirely on what time I manage to get home.
