Well, in case you didn't know, Agents of SHIELD is a for real thing that's actually happening. There's a legit trailer n' shit. And a cast photo


And I am beside myself. There is no living with me anymore, for all I care about is Coulson and this show's existence. I die a little every time there's the tiniest bit of news, video, or photo. I do not know how I will survive the marketing as the premiere approaches in Fall. DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?!

There'll be like Clark Gregg on promotion/interview circuits, magazine articles and photos. Maybe things like TV Guide covers! After all, this show is kinda a BIG DEAL!

And I'm just flailing every time I think about it.

Clint/Coulson, a year later, is still a major OTP for me, in fact the only one recently I read consistently and at least try to write for (but I've been a lazy, lazy writer. I'm finally starting to work on another piece for my Black Sheep and Other Family Animals series). I dabbled in Bagginshield after An Unexpected Journey came out, but have found myself already bored with fic for it.

Person of Interest was once again amazing this year. And although I love it hard like a thing to love, I don't get fandomy about it in terms of needed fic or vids. I just like reblogging other people's art and gifs over on tumblr.

NCIS is still a thing I watch, but mostly out of habit than anything. Elementary has been a joy and looking forward to the two hour season finale. Here's hoping their Moriarty isn't a huge disappointment.

Once Upon a Time always leaves with me mixed feelings. But that's to be expected from the people who made Lost.

And with shows ending this week, I'll try to remember to post Summer Movie thoughts over here.

Frost warning for tonight into early tomorrow morning.

Then a temp high of 85F (29C) on Tuesday.

a-fucking-mazing,

Should not have left house today. The outside is full of allergens and my eyes itch and my nose is stuffed, and FUCK IT ALL!

I also am really pissed-off about swimwear. Why is it so expensive? Why are swim dresses only available for "plus size"? I loved my little swim dress I bought a few years ago. But now it's too big. I would like to have something just like it, but apparently if you're under "plus size" you're only suppose to want two-pieces or one-pieces with high-cut crotch line. Uuugh.

I guess the "tankini" tops and skirt bottoms could substitute the swim dress, but again each piece is like $30 each... Just arglebarglr I hate fashion. It never coincides with what I actually want to wear. See: vests/waistcoats for ladies.

Day 1

So that happened.

And I'll never get over the embarrassment of being such a girl around him. And Jen and April going on about how it was "cute" and "precious" makes me want to die.

BUT IF I FORGET SOMETHING FOR MY COSPLAY????

Okay, let's run through the checklist

• black shoes


• black trousers


• Captain America T-shirt


• white dress shirt


• black suit coat


• black necktie (maybe will wear, maybe not)


• earpiece comm


• bloodied bag of flour


• hair gel

okay. think I'm good.

Also need to remember to try and not throw-up on Bruce Boxleitner.

Going to Milwaukee yesterday for Justin's ordination into deaconhood was lovely, exciting, and exhausting. Great to see old friends, meet some new people, attend mass at a beautiful church. The service was perfect. I think I really like Bishop Hying, who gave the mass.  Everyone liked the plushy priest I made Justin, so relief!

And now next weekend is C2E2. And tomorrow is mother's birthday. And I just may end this month completely exhausted.

Right now trying to decide whether or not I want to go for a walk. It's kinda windy out, but at least it's not raining. I am kinda interested in seeing what the river levels are like down town. They say it's not suppose to be as bad as 2008, but still anxious as hell, especially in regards to the library.

Ugh, I dunno. Kinda cramping. Maybe no walk. At same time, am pleased period started now as opposed to late this week. Was not looking forward to possibility of dealing with this while at a Con.

Because wow. Yesterday was just wow.

Work was just awful. Just really aggressive and uncooperative people. I had to  chase, literally chase people from the library. Two grown men almost got into a fight because one guy said something about the other's girlfriend. Then there were just odd, concerning things that details are unimportant, just that it was weird.


Then I come into work today and find out that last night there was an attempted ax-murder in the apartment complex that shares a parking lot with the library.

Thankfully, the two victims were not fatally wounded, and the attacker was captured this morning.

But WHAT THE FUCK?

Just. WHAT THE FUCK?



...and yes I know Mars doesn't go into retrograde in 2013, but it was the first thing (after full moon) that came to mind to explain this day of utter MADNESS.

and I'm okay with that.

Also, pretty sure won't see sun next week. Just rain. Rain, rain, rain.

starting to get nervous about possible '08 levels of flooding.

Told myself that since I'm not working today, with not much else to do; today I was going to be productive on a creative level.

Y'know: Work on fic, mebbe poke at some vid notions? Just something that's a step in producing something for the fan community if not myself.

I did fuck all today.

In fact, the biggest accomplishment I achieved this week was reorganizing my sock/underwear drawer.

Whee

Or, you know, torrential rain and thunderstorms and possibly river flooding. No, not possibly. It's going to be raining all week, there's gonna be some flooding,

But it's good. I'm enjoying this. I love not-scary thunderstorms, and it's been so long since I've heard rolling thunder.

Also means we will be finally thoroughly out of the drought! Very exciting.

Love that it's so dark in the middle of the day I had to turn lights on.

Can't tell if hail or just really hard rain, Will go investigate.

....

Nah, doesn't look like any hail.

ooh that lightning was close, though.

Between anxiety attacks, lack of sleep, odd work hours, computer problems at the dentist, extra cat (and other home care) responsibilities, and mother having gone traveling in the first time of her life...

It's just been a stressful week.

Am glad to be done with it and am ready to cast it off, start fresh.

and only 3 weeks until C2E2 (highlight of the day was the arrival of my pass!)! Tomorrow at grocery store will pick up the last piece of my Cosplay.

So. My neighbors who are away and I'm taking care of their cat, going to their house twice a day?

While they're away have trusted a contractor to come in and work on their kitchen. He finally arrived today. They did inform me he was going to be here, and assured me I should not have to make any contact with him. They also supposedly told him that I could be in checking on the cat.

Well, I waited till he left this afternoon to check on the cat since this morning, bring in the mail, and futz with the curtains as instructed.

Go in the back door. Kitchen is expectedly in dissaray. The fridge has been moved and equipment left out that makes it difficult to reach the doorway to the rest of the house. But squeezed past I did. There was plastic over the doorway, 'natch. BUT IT WAS COMPLETELY STAPLED IN! It was a force field between me and the majority of the house. Where the cat and her food/water/litter is, the dining table I've been placing the mail!

I am quite upset by this and immediately try calling my neighbors with the number they had left on the to-do list. Except she had written the wrong number down! So, had to call my mom (still in AZ and apparently earlier today discovered she still gets great reception among the Red Rocks), and get the right number from her.

Finally get to call neighbor lady. At first she was all "well, did you see or talk to the contractor at all?" And I was all "I saw him! Didn't talk to him! Because I didn't think I'd have to and I don't want to! But now I cannot access your cat and i haven't been in your house since 8:10 this morning!"

"Oh, we'll call him tonight and tell him to leave a path for someone."

But then that won't be until after he leaves tomorrow evening, so it'll be like well over 24 hours since I can make sure cat is okay! DID I GIVE HER ENOUGH FOOD THIS MORNING????

And she's being all "It's okay."

And I'm feeling all John Watson and "NO IT'S NOT! IT'S NOT OKAY!"

And this is why I was just originally all "Can I have a key to the front door?" But apparently they don't have one.

I don't want to have to leave a "Cat dead; details later" note... :(

Well, mother and the neighbors and firmly ensconced in Arizona now (mother with cousins, neighbors with their son). In the mean time, I am looking-in on neighbor's cat, Nancy. Not that I actually see the cat. I think maybe once I saw a blur of back darting under the bed, which I can only assume is her. Otherwise, there's some other kind of problem at that house. But I deal with her litter, water, and food anyway.

Back home, have to take more responsibility for Kitty (since mother normally deals with the litter/food/drink end of things. You know, the actual caretaking). Is obvious though that Kitty is missing her mommy. She seems quite forlorn. Even the first night she came into my bedroom which she hasn't done in ages, mewing pathetically.

Last night was the first time in several days I slept the night through (anxiety attacks, including a pretty bad one in the wee hours Sunday have kept me pretty sleepless, and making my time spent with friends a little less fun than it should have been). So, here's hoping tonight I can have the same success, especially since I'm going into work tomorrow morning, when I was suppose to have the entire day off.

In good news, other than the computers being down, had a good dentist appointment. The hygienist complimented my gums, and the dentist congratulated me on the care I've taken on my fucked-up teeth (two molars on the lower left that have hereditary enamel hypoplasia). Also, apparently will be receiving discount since the computers were fucked-up. So, yay!

Also, an infection in my toe I've been worried about for a while is definitely improving. Also proved I have good friends, friends who are willing to examine an infected toe for me.

Am working 1-9pm (bailing a coworking out). So, eight hours straight of being on desk. Originally we had a meeting scheduled from 4-5 which would have given me some relief, but since like everyone's already off for the holiday, they rescheduled it! Boo.

And Janesville schools are having their Spring Break already (Beloit schools start tomorrow then through next week), so we've been busier during the day, and I was practically run off my feet just for my usual 1-5 shift today. Tomorrow i get to deal with it twice as long! *sarcastic yay!*

And on top of it all, it's gonna be awful period day with the most cramps and lower back pain.

So fuckers better not mess with me, especially no fuck-ass kids.

And I know, I know it is also the way of the universe that when I have actual weekend fun plans, that my work-week before hand is stressful. Like I have to earn that fun time.

Ah well, at least I'll be having the fun time, then even off the Monday and Tuesday following Easter.

But then Mother's out of state all next week, so will be kinda worried about her traveling, and then having to be the one in charge of the house for that time, too. Okay, my brother's gonna be hear, too. But he can't take care of anything house-related, so won't be much help.

I cleaned hard.

I cleaned in such a way to make my ancestor's proud.

but am now exhausted.

And it will just be disgusting again before the week is over.

Seriously, though. Have some frames to put up, want to rearrange some of the decor in my bedroom, but I need a couple new nails up.

Look everywhere, go through everything on the work bench in the basement, and NO NAILS! Well, not no nails. like huge fuckin' building nails. But aside from that, nothing but screws EVERYWHERE. Definitely no deficit in screws.

Well, since the one somewhat productive thing i was going to do today is bust, guess I'm just gonna sit here with my bag of Fig Newtons, a glass of milk and watching my DVRed Chopped.

Not much snow, in the grand scheme of winter, but still enough to make me want to stay indoors now that I've got the shoveling done.

Still have some house cleaning to do. Got the dusting done, still have to vacuum. I should really do something in my room/basement, too. Maybe Wednesday, which I have off, too. But it's gonna be cold as fuck for the rest of the week, and doing stuff in the unfinished part of the basement does not sound appealing. But that needs to get done before my friends come up Easter weekend.

So, between housework, I'm watching my Food shows I DVRed. I love Chopped and Kitchen Nightmares. And for some reason CMT shows old eps of Nightmares Monday afternoons.

Tomorrow is Hobbit DVD day! So will be going outside anyway tomorrow. got to remember to buy a new alarm clock, too.

Just happy the weekend is over. Just another four weeks until I have to do that again. 

But damn, I can get a lot of shit done on Saturday mornings. I'm feeling well accomplished.

Got a lot of what I consider "house keeping" tasks done. Getting the newspaper back issues organized, clearing out the Lost & Found, even making more scrap paper. And it's a good feeling knowing then I won't have to worry about any of things on a busier day, or not really even have to think about it for another week or so.

It's just the kiiids and the teeeens on the weekends, which I haven't had much dealing with yet, but that's because I'm on desk until lunch. Then at 1:30 I start my shift for doing security rounds, and for the four hours we're open on Sunday all I do is rounds. Which normally means by the end of the weekend, I want to cut my feet off.

Also good things on weekend, being in the library a half-hour before opening. I love being able to do work without any patrons around. Makes everything so much easier and quieter.
