ANYways ... Happy Solstice !
summertide is (technically) here, even though the weather has lately given us late fall & early spring temps rather than summertide... or even pre-summertide/pre-spring, for that matter *deep sigh*
in the past week there has still been river flooding - which is an early-spring thing
and temps have been 10-20 degrees below 'the norm' for this time of year ( even colder just weeks ago *shivers* )
unfortunately I do not have the skills to do a thing about the weather ( ...yet ;) )
school is done for the year for my spawn - and I spent the day with a bit of spawnling pride :D <3
my youngest got a 3.95 ( out of 4 ) & my eldest a 3.28 ... 3.28 is only a B, but with what her grades were like for the 1st 3rd, she turned them around in spades !
( though I suppose this weekend I will have to keep my youngest from lording over her sister that she's smarter... again *sighs* - amusing, but annoying... and it leads to physical fighting :( )
I warned them they will be faced with excessive hugging this weekend :D
in 4 weeks, it'll be my 2nd vaca of the year... and last for the year
using up the last 7 workdays worth of vacation before it expires/resets
...and have no idea what I'm gonna be doing - and, really, at this point it's so close but can't afford to do anything
( the Hawai'i vaca rocked, but sucked the savings ;) )
even renting a car for a week is gonna be a streeeeetch, so unfortunately not looking likely ( it'd be cheaper to rent for a week than a couple days, fyi, so that wouldn't be worth it even if I could afford to :( )
at least it should be decent weather, being the last full week of July + last few days of ( excepting the last day, which I definitely have t'be at work the 31st )
so - *shrugs* - go for very long walks to the theatre, mayhaps ? *shrugs*
I'm sure I'll come up with something - hells, still gotta figure out what I sorta-wanta do next year if I intend t'get out of the country and use this passport o'mine !
Don't suppose anyone has a winning lottery ticket hanging around ? ;) :D <3
...BUT, that's all I have, my Lovelies & Gentlefolk
if it's any consolation, I'm typing this while naked in a toasty-warm apartment... though I need t'turn on the A/C so it'll be cool enough for my spawnlings when they arrive tomorrow morning :(
Farethee well for now !!
twittage ::
6/10 : new neighbour moving in across - seems ok ( though only met for a moment ) ... hilariously his child ( one of his children? ) tried to bring in a new "pet cricket" he found & was told "no," which led to a bit of a crying fit ( still trying not to laugh, it was so hilarous! )
6/12 : in pain mode since late last night/early morning, so was a long day at work... but picked up some stuff to help assist in things going back to 'norm' again ( reminded why I hate Dr's, too, since it was a particular UC Dr that exacerbated the issue initially a few yrs ago )
6/13 : dear rappers & hip-hoppers - PLEASE stop stealing & butchering rock songs... I start to hear it, thinking "kick ass, I love this song," then it turns to shit... and gets shittier & shittier :( - just. STOP. make your OWN "music!" ...this also applies to country singers *sigh*
6/21 : just a little spawnling pride this morning - 3.95 & 3.28 final grades for the year :)
6/21 II : other people : "shit, I'm almost out of minutes/data again..."
me : "shit, how in the 7 hells am I going to use up these minutes before the year is up & MORE minutes get added to the total ??" *sighs*
