Today's discoveries

[anagramofbrat]

I've been home for a month now. Everything is unpacked except for the books, which still await a place to go, which I may just suck it up and fix within the next week as a birthday present to myself. My room is lived in, down to the mess on the floor, which will require cleaning at some point. I have a life, if not yet a routine. It's great fun having friends spitting distance away, even if I don't always make the effort to arise out of my funk and Andee-cave to go see them. Yes, I AM that lazy. Routine will come with acquisition of Hanzo-san, which is my project of the next two days. It will be easier to fit a routine around my 35 minute commute and a full workday. But it's nice to have someplace to call home, and things have settled into enough of a establishing pattern that I can see what does work, what doesn't and what needs to be fine tuned. Fine tuning will be the project of the next couple weeks.

Leaning down to kiss the top of cell23's head is not a good idea when he's doing something that may require him to move suddenly. I had a scarlet blood blister as proof of this for most of today from where the top of his skull met my front teeth, pinching my lower lip in between. Ow.

Lizards humping = warren ellis moment. Also it can be ten degrees Fahrenheit outside, and Magic Wings will always be 467. Gah. Butterflies also tickle a LOT when they land on you. All that aside... watching them launch a crate of monarchs into the wild blue yonder was pretty breathtaking.

I am forbidden to leave the house and do ANYTHING without getting at least one cup of coffee into my system. The caffeine headache I had as a result of forgetting this was FIERCE. Also Greenfield Friendly's during Church Rush? not a good idea. The food was fine, the service was slower than uphill running glacial molasses.

Playing outside on a reasonably warm day after a day of cold deluge = OMG MOSQUITOES. I'm sure putting on cocoa butter enhanced lotion before leaving the house did not help the case against using me for insect snack food. SO GODDAMN ITCHY NOW. However day after cold wet weather also = frogs. Win.

verbena76 and aersi WILL tickle me at ANY opportunity. Must wear armor at all times.

5 year old logic is an amazing amazing thing. Also I find that after at least a decade and change of being out of practice giving "Airplanes," I haven't lost my touch - it's still the second most efficient way of extracting maximum giggleage out of a two year old. Also essentially bench pressing said bruiser of a two year old is a pretty awesome arm workout.

when all is said and done, the observation about how grown-up fun will pretty much cure anything that's wrong with Andees still holds true. >:) Not to mention watching cell23 preening like a peacock after job well done is infuriating, hilarious and oddly endearing. I suppose nothing says love like not being sure whether to strangle your boyfriend or kiss him... or maybe it's the opting for kissing him that says it? Ehh who knows or cares, I love him either way.

Holy crap it's almost eleven get in the car how did that happen

Kissing while strangling, maybe? Mmmmmmmmm....
(Was that my outside voice again? Damn.)

You give Airplanes with your arms? I always use my feet.

So myself and two friends were outside your window a bit ago and almost popped up to bother/say hi to/freak out you. But then we heard suspicious jingling and ran away.


Just FYI.

Given that neither of us were there, that seems odd.

The "I don't know whether to kiss him or strangle him" thing is endemic in our family. Ask Ali - it only gets WORSE over time.
