Epeen has been off for going on 36 hours. This is unusual because I was home during some of that time, lol.

Yesterday was good... busy, even. Starting to rather like the morning challenge of rousting both myself and

cell23 out of bed. Motivation to get a jump on the day = very yes. Yesterday was freakishly beautiful and

htl_1126 tempted me outside with the prospect of treating me to Tavern burgers (seriously, if you're ever caught down here, go to the Tavern and order one of these, they're pretty quality burgers). Went to the GI for my quarterly poke and prod and blood draw and review of the latest VCE... yeah. My small intestines are still pretty profoundly fucked up, but they are getting better. Slowly.

Came home, read through this week's EW and then finished my book (don't laugh, I was rereading Jackie Collins' Lucky), and then

avalon616 came over and we shot the shit while watching Keef&Rachel. I'd developed an allergy to cable news after the summer of having it constantly on and audible throughout the house, but a couple month later I think it's okay to like it again. That and I'm a sucker for a smart, pretty woman in a fiercely tailored business suit. Nom. Hanging with

avalon616 was quite excellent. Shit shooting was apparently needed on both ends.

Two weeks without coffee, one without actively seeking out caffeinated beverages. I draw the line at checking to see if my tea's decaf... too much like work. And after finishing the two bottles of soda I brought home from thanksgiving I've pretty much decided I'm off fizzy lifting drinks as well. So far so good, though I've noticed that while my bedtime and lack of sleep habits haven't changed really I am far more likely to doze off during things, especially late at night. Which has been making rewatching The Tudors before bed a bit challenging, lol.

Money continues to be stupid. Or to be entirely accurate, previous stupidity with money continues to bite me in the ass. Ugh. Goal for 2010 - maintain a black balance and if possible start saving again. I've got a good idea of what I need weekly budget wise now, just a matter of sticking to it.

Going nowhere for the weekend, and I am insanely pleased about that. My nebulous plans pretty much amount to vegging out, gymbunnying if I get the motivation, laundry and drukids. More than enough going on, I think.
