An Act of Doggerel

In the fruit bowl, in the kitchen
Lay a sticky pool of slime.
It once was a healthy snack - that
Dreadful, sorry clementine ... .

Inspired by my afternoon snack, and my brother-in-law, who was trying to write something on this theme ... .

A Slow Start

Well, here it is 10 days into the new year, and a week after receiving some very good advice from the f-list about how I should spend my time, and I have not done any of those things. No new manga or books blogged, no costumes even started, no new fic written.

On the other hand, right here beside the keyboard is a stamped, addressed envelope with registration form (and fee check) for the Tai Chi class, which starts on the 24th. I'm hoping I'm not too late - I will mail it on my way out tonight (I'm waiting for a server swap to occur - I need to make sure things are running on the new server before I leave). And I have been playing with the specific fic idea that was suggested.

Major obstacles to progress: that blasted cold, persistent low-level pain at the surgical site (which I was told is normal - I've just got to remember to take ibuprofen before the pain gets annoying), having to go to radiation 5 days per week, and preparation for late X-mas this weekend with the Mr.'s family. (At least that one will be out of the way soon.)

Two steps forward, one step back ... .

This Routine System Rollover ... Isn't

I had to stay "just a little past six" to double-check the effects of swapping to a new webserver, which we had been testing.

There was one thing we couldn't really test until it was in place. And that isn't working.

Sooooo ... they're still messing around with it. I am tired. And increasingly hungry. And oyceter has a thread going about comfort foods ... !!!!   > drool ... <

It's WORKING! Hallelujah!!!

I'm outta here. I am so leaving early tomorrow ... I have dozens of packages to wrap, and clearly I'm not doing any tonight!
