Nothing in Particular

I was planning on sort of vegging out - playing an online game or two and doing some more knitting on this throw that I have decided to make as part of my task of decorating the guy's apartment.

I'm going to be ordering the fabric on Friday, yea! I LOVE buying fabric. Buying fabric is second in "fun ranking" only to playing with fabric. Screw the BSN; I could probably make more money doing window treatments. Which is more torturous, making roman shades or assisting with a colonoscopy?

Did a bit more around the house today. Folded and put away two loads of laundry. Cleaned off a shelf in the bathroom. Pulled the lining stuff off two of the shelves in the kitchen. Gathered up some stuff to be taken out of my house. I'm attempting to be less "pack ratty." I may get the mantle cleared and dusted tomorrow and switch out the candle sticks and put up that huge mirror that I found last summer at a yard sale. I'm trying...

Talked with the nurse manager at the VA again today and then to her intern assistant later this afternoon. Guess I've made it to round three as they would like to know which days/times would be good for me to come in for an interview.

Oh, my brain... I was over in My Documents looking for a resume. Found my resume, but also a pattern for Tunisian Crochet pillows that didn't look familiar. Clicked it open, went to the web page, clicked a link for independent crochet designers, added the site to my del.icio.us list... Found and added a couple of more cool sites to my del.icio.us list... Oy!

It's been about 6 weeks since I posted anything on my del.icio.us, I noticed. Wonder when it was the last time that I was at Stumble Upon? And, I really do need to send a nice letter of thanks to Aldous Huxley's Cat. My brain...

That guy said he would call me this evening.

I'm not upset that he didn't. He had an exam today. He still won't fess up to what it is that he eats for lunch. He has an hour drive each way. Makes for some long days. 13 to 14 hours most days. Four days of that and three days of 12-hour shifts at work. By the time you include the commute, that's 13 hours, too. If he gets out of work on time. Not always a guaranteed thing. Then, he has to find time for studying and homework. Not to mention things like doing laundry, going shopping, getting something to eat. He's really not good at the eating thing. I suppose I'll have to go do some shopping and cooking for him. Give me something to do while I'm waiting for the adhesives and glues to dry when I'm decorating next week. LOL

I don't know if he has received the dining room chairs yet. I hope so. I'd like to be able to order all of the fabrics and things at once. If not, it's OK. I'm willing to make the necessary sacrifice and do more fabric shopping later. Oh, I am so bad.

I need to pop over to Yahoo 360 here soon and see what's up in Genny's world. They got the wretched carpet up in the shelter. They still had to work on the nasty, resiny glue stuff that held it in place. I had that crap used to adhere carpet in my KITCHEN in my last place. Oh, that was a job!!
She said that the noise levels had gone up tremendously. Not a good thing for that kind of environment where people are on-edge and often have mental health issues. The "official" opening is going to be on the last Tuesday of this month. The "real" opening will be the party that the clients have the following weekend. I'm trying to get by with not having to work that weekend and go. I need to talk the guy into taking that weekend off and road tripping to Philly with me.

It would be nice for the guy to meet Genny being that she has graciously offered to do the photography for our wedding. LOL Have I mentioned that I'm bad?

He is so very sweet, though. In many ways, I am glad that he is busy with school. I really haven't had a steady guy since I dated Martin 9 years ago. I suppose I should count the ex-fiance, but he was only in town every other weekend. Having not had a steady relationship in so long, I don't think I want to be involved "full time" right now. These things take time, and it gives us more of an opportunity to learn about each other and to grow together. It will be nice when I get my house back together. I told him that he would be welcome to stay here on the weekends so he didn't have so far to drive back and forth to work. It would cut the drive by 2/3 if he stayed here.

I've been knitting a few stitches in between collecting my thoughts and fussing with the dogs. Yes, dogs. Mocha is over visiting quite a bit these days. She is in heat and Napoleon has flat-out lost his mind. There is nothing worse than a baying and howling hound.

There is a coon hound across the street. It arrived when the people bought Mary's house at the same time the house two doors east was sold. Those neighbors have some sort of Corgi or Pomeranian mix. It is a yappy little thing is all I know for certain. I hope the rest of the neighbors know about the coon hound. We don't want them to think that it's Napoleon out there baying every morning at 6am. There is also a beagle/basset/hound somewhere on the north side of the block, too. I heard it the other day. The three of them were all baying and howling together a few days ago. Oh what a cacophony!

The guy bought green kitchen linens. Will go very nicely with that rug that I had already purchased before he moved. LOL I tell you we're simpatico in those areas. That is very funny to me because we are so different in personality and temperament. My Jungian personality test rated me as ENTP. One of the other personality/temperament tests rates me as choleric-melancholy or choleric-sanguine. It runs really close for the complementary personality every time I take that test. It depends on whether or not I'm in a cynical and sarcastic mood or a humorous mood as to which personality trait comes out as the second aspect. Yes, I am an asshole, but I'm a funny asshole. LOL

It is after 2am. I suppose I should haul my carcass to bed.
