I'm still here

Its been a little while since I've updated, as usual. I keep meaning to get everything caught up, but there's so much to post. Mostly because I wait to do it, I think. You'd think I'd learn. Alternatively, I wait because I don't really have much to post most of the time. Life seems to go on in its own way - the day to day activities are relatively the same. I work, I come home to take care of the kids, I grumble about my living arrangements. Lately, you can add fighting with grandma to that list of "usual" things.
Later at night, I hang out online. I've been getting lots of roleplaying in, and lots of chatting. I've found a place on alt that I enjoy, and find myself there quite often. I watch a bit of tv, depending on the night and what's on. Relatively boring stuff. Relatively boring life.
I do manage to make it out of the house occassionally. I make it to a meet and greet for AFF sometimes, or out to the LH for a party. In fact, Fates made the last party with me. Not much happened, but I enjoyed myself just the same.
We've changed buildings at work. We've moved a few miles north, which really doesn't make a difference on my commute overall. I like the new building, though we're encountering some minor...and probably not so minor..issues. Today, there's not much in the way of pop selection. There's no change in the change machine, and the food vending machine is practically empty. More major things - there are people not set up on the network, phones not working, etc. I think that most of those issues have been taken care of though.
My first day here was Saturday. Thankfully, its a quiet day. There were only a handful of us who had full access...and I was one of them. Go figure :P
This new building has a big game room - which includes a ping pong table, a pool table, two video games, a pinball machine, an area for the Xbox and a table for sitting/eating. Its a nice big room. There's an atrium, which is really nice. I have plans to eat out there sometime, with my book.

My dad will be in town this weekend, and I'm excited to see him. Its been almost two years. Bug will enjoy seeing him - he got excited when I told him grandpa was coming to town. Dad will be bringing his wife. It'll be nice to see her as well, its been even longer since I've seen her. They'll be up for the long weekend, but then go home after that. Not a very long trip.

I have got to get a notebook to keep in the car. Yesterday, I had a whole flood of thoughts. I managed to write some of them down, but it would be nice to record them or something. By the time I get home, deal with dinner and the kids...those thoughts are long gone. Even if I do remember what I was thinking about, it never seems as "smooth" as what I had been thinking in the car.
Tonight, I should be able to get those thoughts out here...at least what I have jotted down. Maybe even add to those, and keep the fluidity of them. I've had some insights "handed" to me, and now I must mull them over.

Happy birthday to me!!

Its that time of year again. I'm another year older. *groan*

Today hasn't been all that bad. I should have taken today off, just because. Eh, well. I'm actually in a fairly good mood today, despite the issues cropping up around me. At least their serious issues and not someone just being rude and/or stupid. Much easier to handle, even if it is more of a pain on the support level. :D

Fates is taking me out to dinner tonight - or cooking. Not sure which it is yet. We may hit a M&G for AFF, or go out to a movie. Yes, we're great planners as you can see.

I bought myself a copy of Sims 2 Open for Business for my birthday. I got to play with it a little, though I haven't gotten real far into yet. My sim bought a house and bought a business. (*cough* those money cheats are great *coughcough*). I only got so far as decorating the house and buying the business. I'm hoping to play it a bit more soon.

Alright, I'm off work now. I have more to say, but, frankly, I don't want to hang around much longer!

Interesting

I did a reading for myself today. (Note to self - link that journal to here.) I also took a look at some tarot information via a website (ATA site). In my reading the Chariot turned up, and on the newsletter for the website, the "Featured" card is the Chariot. Amusing.
