So my job has cut my hours over the holiday (between Thanksgiving and Christmas) which sucks cause I'm not making any money, I know I can probably get a holiday job somewhere (CVS is hiring!), but I don't really want to go through training and W2's and such... maybe I'll try it anyway. I have to work more than 9 hours over two weeks. 
Besides I've been planning to take a trip to Toronto in the spring and I need some more money to do that, and I really want to try to re-arrange a trip to OH I had to delay this December, and I want to go back out to CA to work this summer... Needless to say there's a lot of thing I want to do that require money.
However it has allowed me to:
1) Get my car inspected and registered
2) Bake gingerbread families and eat them (insert evil laughter here, I take a real sick delight in creating beings out of dough and then eating their heads...)
3) Download the "Law and Order" gavel sound and annoy people with it.
What should I be doing?
1) Making presents for my cousin's babies like I promised
2) Writing the 3 plays I have started
3) Writing the children's story I have started
4) Contacting professors about finishing my degree/getting a job
5) Write two academic articles I have started
6) Refinancing my mortgage
Instead I'm being lazy and desiring twinkle lights to hang all about my apartment in a winter fantasy! *sigh* I love sleep.
But sometimes I hate being an adult and all on my own.
I just realized I haven't posted anything about my trip to Pittsburgh - but it was really boring! I mostly just took over for my sister in taking care of my mom and her dog. Although we do go out one night to Shadyside and drank with her gay friends.
They thought my jacket made me look adorable and I sing "Footloose" songs well. I was pretty busy most of the other times with boring family stuff.
I don't know I'm just feeling an overwhelming sense of ennui lately. I need to get out and volunteer somewhere I think, like at an animal shelter or a hospital. And sometimes I feel really yucky, which I admit is due to not really taking all that good of care of myself. (SPOILERED for medical complaining)

Anyway, enough with all the whining. Maybe this post will remind me to get some stuff done.
Hope all is well with you and you are all staying safe and warm!
December 14th = "View From the Bridge" and then December 15th = Pink Hair! I did a test patch today and even though I'm not platinum I think it'll look cute.
ETA: How many times will I play a mom this year? Apparently not enough! Here's my costume as Beatrice (the mom in "View From the Bridge")

Aw! *hugs* Sorry to hear about the knee problems and car crash recurrence and... well, the whole grocery list, really. And the hours cut on top of it. I'm hugging the monitor and trying to send positive vibes your way. Enjoy your gingerbread! And annoy as many people as possible with the L&O sound. That sound's too good not to use every few minutes or so.

You don't have to feel bad about it. I got you presents because you're cool and I love ya -- not because I need anything back.
