OCD+ADD=OMG

Yo...Much has happened...I just haven’t felt up to posting. I’ve wanted to post on many different subjects, so I’ll just go ahead and write about those things I wanted to write about.

Monday was long. Drove up to the funeral, and then started back around 12ish after we had lunch. I drove us almost all the way home. From I55 to our home, that is. We were dead tired once we’d gotten home...

Today, I called ASC back. It’s a staffing agency that’s supposed to help me find a job. Their efforts have become somewhat disappointing of late. Last week they called to ask if I wanted a job catering. They know as well as anyone that I’m looking for a job in clerical. Yet they call to bother me with catering? Then they left a message while Mom and I were gone. So I called back. They wanted to know if I was interested in working nights at a place where I’d be folding clothes and ‘tidying up’. My response was this,

“…….No.”

Today also marks a glorious day. I made my first gumbo today without assistance. Mom had gone to the church to help with the phones. There’s always a meeting on Tuesday mornings, and the church’s secretary has to attend the meetings. This causes a problem when the phones ring or she is otherwise needed. So, my Mom offered to go over there and help with the phones while they were at the meeting. She called, and asked if I would mind bringing her a cup of cappuccino. I didn’t mind, so I hurried up and brought her a mug (they were finishing up the street paving so it didn’t really go as quick as I wanted), and asked if she needed anything else. She said she wanted me to get the bag of okra out of the freezer to thaw so she could make a gumbo when she got back. So, I asked what I’d need to do to make a gumbo and she told me. I’d done it before once when she was with me. So I wrote it all down, and made my first Okra & Sausage gumbo. It wasn’t as good as I would have hoped, but Mom says it’ll be better with time. Gumbos are like that. The longer the gumbo sits, the more the ingredients mix, and thus the better everything tastes.

Mom didn’t get home till 4 something, so it was good that I’d made it. She was very tired when she finally got in. But then, being out from 8:30 till 4 at that mad house would tire anyone. After we’d eaten a bit, I headed to town. I wanted to make sure I’d bought tickets to The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe. Friday at 7. I bought two and asked Reiko to go with me, but she’s not sure if she’ll be able to go. I know that Chibi, Reiko, and I are supposed to go see it for our Christmas, but it’s one of those things that you want to be able to tell people. “I saw the first showing of The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe.” Or...at least the first showing I was able to see. Besides, I don’t mind watching it more than once. Not at all.

I’m watching the Dune thing my Mom bought for me the other day. I must’ve watched it seven or eight times since then, and yet I never posted about it. It’s much better than the movie. Well, it’s much better in the sense that there’s more material, and you understand more about the universe you’ve been thrust into. I still can’t picture anyone other than Patrick Stewart as Gurney Halleck... Princess Irulan is better portrayed in this one though. On the other hand, Muad Dib seems much less of a hero than in the movie version.

I went over to the EQPixel Army. I usually go there to make dollz of my existing EQ characters; the ones that I write about in my stories or have played in game. Tonight was different though...I made a doll of a high elf chick that I’ve never even seen before. She just jumped into my head, and who am I to deny her? After I made the first doll, I decided to make aBarbarian girl. Also, one I’ve never seen before.

Well, I guess that’ll be all for today. Goodnight everyone.
