flexagonFirst a huge THANK YOU to the four people who worked all night and then all day to bring LJ back up.
Work ate my life for a few days there--it was not a big deal or especially unpleasant, but I did have to prioritize, and LJ writing wasn't on the list. (What was on the list: don't take out stress at home, do the dishes every night, and keep taking care of skin. I had a stupid post-pill pre-new-year breakout that I haven't been happy about at all--they take so long to go away--but the last signs of it are fading now. That technique from The Acne Cure really is the magic bullet.) There were also some anticlimactic moments... I decided not to buy a new computer right now, and I also decided not to keep going to dahn yoga, after hearing their pitch for what my next step would be if I stayed with them. They have workshops designed to show you your body and your brain and your higher self and such, and they're a bit expensive. Plus, while I don't claim to be a master yogi or anything, I am pretty aware of my body. It's not like I'd be all oh goodness, there's something below my neck and it's trying to talk to me?. So, on both counts, I'll save my $$$ for the moment.
(Speaking of $$$, Politic Frog has changed us all over from bimonthly paychecks to every-two-weeks paychecks, and suddenly I'm not smart enough to figure out my budget. Anyone else get paid this way? How do you deal?)
Yesterday was sort of the first day I had my life back, and I spent a large part of it at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bluechromis' place. I had a ton of fun going down her bookshelf going I gave her that one, I borrowed that one a while back, hey, that's my copy that she (or he) is borrowing. *grin* And it was also fun to play Apples to Apples, which I've been wanting to try forever. And then there was J's pulled pork pie and the giant ding-dong cake. All in all a great weekend kickoff. Now to decide what to cook for my guests for tomorrow night!
