I feel ucky.

Here it is, Monday morning. The entire household is home. James has the day off because of his flex schedule. Meredith has a bad cold. (Damn, I forgot to call the school!) I have a persistent headache and an upset stomach, which may or may not be a result of the amount of headache medicine I have consumed on an empty stomach. There's not much food in the house at the moment, as I have been determinedly ignoring the need to go to the grocery store.

The 'more senior' A/C fix-it dude is supposed to come today. A show of hands of the people who think my A/C will work by the end of the day? *looks around* I see we are all in agreement. Another sticky day and night, temps expected to be in the upper 80s today.

I need to do actual 'get-paid-for-it' work today. I also need to drop off my check for the water bill. Mix in a couple other errands, and me not feeling well, and I should be pretty busy and crabby all day. Yay.

I put in my top five choices for which prompts I'd like to write for the dgficexchange, and am now nervous. I tell myself that it is too early to be nervous, since I haven't even gotten a firm assignment yet - no one can possibly hate my story until I actually write it - but I am stubborn and not listening to myself. Confidence - I wish I was on better terms with it.

OMG My Friends ROCK!

Thank you, Cyn! You're the best!

I got pressies! Mer immediately tried to take off with my little duck. (Who I know is not Gustav, but for the life of me I cannot think of his name. >.>) I had to beat her down. (Ok, not really, I just bribed her with use of my laptop.) Sey-Sey was safe, though. I grabbed him up straight away.

Now I'm sitting, listening to my Tangled Web Mix as I wait for the A/C dude to finally show up. (Between 12:00 and 4:00, my ass!) He's been on his way for the last half hour. At least I have cool tunes to keep me occupied in the meantime. *grins and hugs Pud* Thank you, hun! I appreciate it!

And in other happy news, Sharlene offered to write drabbles for a the first five folks that asked, and I am #3. Yeah, I'm a drabble whore. I'm not even ashamed of it.

My headache is finally gone. I haven't gotten any work done because I just couldn't concentrate for most of the time. I did go to the grocery, and I did some laundry. So, not a totally wasted day, only mostly.

Christmas has come early!

Not only did I get presents from a very sweet friend of mine today, but MY AIR CONDITIONING IS WORKING! Woot! The guy has to come out one more time because he's had to order a part, but he was able to bypass the faulty board in the meantime so that we can be cool! YAY!
