oh my

I've a lot of tabs open in this here tabbed browser with comments I've been meaning to respond to. Oh dear. And I haven't got time now! I'm supposed to be cleaning the house. I have a party slated for tomorrow at 3, and have to work from 11 to 7 today, and somehow have to find time to clean the house and go grocery shopping and make food... Bah.
I was going to get up super-early today but I couldn't even pry my eyes open until 7:45. I am hopeless.

Mr. Bachelor Number One of Science in the next room is stirring, but I don't think he's awake. He was so tired yesterday after all the glamor posing and having things bestowed (and also the illicit drinking of champagne) that he passed out directly upon arrival home and is a giant colorblock caterpillar in his bed.

So anyway, some of you have said amusing or kind or thought-provoking things, and I have not responded, but that does not mean I didn't read them. It just means they're in the limbo that is my tabbed browsing.

Also, photos. I will post them. One of these days. Some came out OK. Yes, I wish I had a telephoto lens. It can go onto my list of things I want once I have money, but it's in expensive company so I won't hold out hope.

It is only just after seven o'clock and I have been home from work for nearly three hours already.
Somebody at work, somebody who makes up the schedules, is being a complete tool of late, and put on so much extra staff it was ridiculous. In the meantime, it has been a slow week and today was no exception. So I did a reasonable business, but then the crowd died down completely, and then a second server showed up to take half the tables, and there was no one.

So I went home three hours early, because it was fucking ridiculous.

Suits me fine; it was sunny and seventy. I watered my wilting garden (which I hadn't watered because it was supposed to rain today. It's been supposed to rain for like two weeks. We haven't had any, except for a few droplets this morning to convince me to neglect the poor flowers. Stupid) and cleaned the back porch and we set up my old computer's speakers and the iPod dock out there and are currently playing Hecho En Cuba II loud enough for the backyard and my bedroom. (My window opens onto the sunporch.) It's lovely, really. Have also made some progress at at least assessing the other tasks that need finishing.

Haven't gotten much cleaning done. Got my flip-flops wet while watering and so removed them, and promptly stepped on a large and very lumpy rock, which badly bruised the sole of my foot. So, have it iced at the moment and am a tiny bit grumpy.

Alexander remains dangerously ill. ( Poor foosh. )

Mmm, bratwurst for dinner. Must go eat some. And not think about fishes for a little while.
