22 Minutes And A Million Other Things

Ok, I'ma start this entry with a bit of lightheartedness becuz it will get heavy up in here, yo. Picture this. Me standing on ithe chair I use at my paint table. What was I doing? Trying to reach the tostitos in the cupboard. Getting up was no problem. Getting down was a different story. I  climbed into the chair on my knees and stood up. Easy peasy. But to get down I had to sit on the table, turn the chair sideways, and slide my legs gingerly over. It took 22 minutes to negotiate but I did it. I find that it takes about that much time to do something task oriented that's difficult. Yesterday, it took that long for me to attach my bra straps. But it took 5 hrs for me to get back home becuz my backpack kept sliding off my shoulders. And it was hella cold. This was after I resized them. We had a brief warm up and I wasn't wearing all these layers. I have tiny feminine shoulders and big boobs. Go figure. I'm having butt issues and needed some preparation h. But I accidently grabbed the suppositories instead. I've had this problem since high school and constipation/hemmoragic issues are common to my condition. Well, butt bullets aren't fun. Just trust me on that, kay? Anyway, I didn't notice it becuz I'm used to it and I've been regular lately.
But I went today and it was like, "Oh."
And mom was freaking me out saying I might need a procedure and I was like, "No."
Which leads me to what happened when I got home last night. The monster wasn't cooperating for my bro so I had to sweet talk it. Once I did that, I went to my room where I found a bag from best buy. Inside were an external dvd drive and a flash drive. So I opened it up and plugged it in and began the installation process. Well, the laptop zipped right thru it. I got excited and went to mom's room to tell her it was the kewlest thing in the universe. I got up from the floor which I have to crawl across, lifted my head and nearly feLl back over. There was my mother browsing happily away on a brand new laptop. Lol. She had used mine, which is maybe 6 mos old and mentioned that she wanted 1 with a bigger screen and keyboard. I just didn't know she meant now. But that's kewl. My dvd drive needs a plug in to play dvds. But it doesn't matter. It's a non essential and I can always get it later. What I cared about was coreldraw which I installed this afternoon. That and being able to copy my fics without using file transfer which frankly seems way too complicated. Or logging on to the monster and copying from my blog which was a pain in my ass. So yay! I don't have to worry about that anymore and each of us has our own computer.  Now we just need enough discs to go between us and we're all set.

Sara, our little girl kitty, keeps trying to lay on my new mousepad. This would be fine if I wasn't browsing. Lol.

Venice 2nite ... yay!

In related news, I was reading an Otalia fic this morning. In it, there was a blizzard in Springfield. Olivia looks out the window forlornly.

Natalia says to her, "Don't worry honey. We have plenty of bacon and coffee."
Olivia says, "That's what you think my basic needs are?"
Natalia smiles. Then she says, "Yup."

It made me laugh becuz it reminds me of mom. Except you'd have to put donuts in the middle. Heehee.
