Of course, it's supposed to rain Friday night or Saturday morning, so who knows what will come with that. But that's not right now. Right now, Mum's coming tomorrow around 10:00-ish. <br /><br />So that's the plan.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=1023549" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:1023482another quiet day2023-01-01T09:49:48Z2023-01-01T09:49:48Zamusedpublic0The weather is finally starting to warm up a bit. That's good because Mum and I were going back and forth on when either I'm going up to visit with her or she's coming down to visit with me right up until 11:00 this morning.<br /><br />If I went up, it was going to be today and meet her in Valdosta to see Hayden re-swear in with the Air Force ROTC. But apparently, he stayed up too late with all his little friends, they're very tired, and so it's going to be a very quick Valdosta trip, not even including a meal.<br /><br />So we're doing our get together on Friday. Plan? Plan.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=1023482" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:1022376Christmas eve2022-12-25T12:32:53Z2022-12-25T12:32:53Zcoldpublic0We left the house exactly long enough to grab food.

Like, Luci disapproves because it isn't the proper level of cold, but everyone in Florida is bundled up like they are going to be turning into popsicles any minute now. In other words, the high today was 64°F (about 18°C) and the low was around 45°C/7°C, so, yeah, Florida cold. The inside of my building at work was only slightly warmer (68°), but there was no escaping that.<br /><br />I need sleep. I think I'm going to try that now.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=1016464" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:1011101NaNoWriMo: Day 102022-11-12T08:53:13Z2022-12-04T12:00:25Zblahpublic0It should feel weird to have been at home all day, but eh, it is what it is. The University gave us all the day off work as administrative leave for <strike>Tropical Storm</strike> Hurricane Denise. (I need to look at the damn news sometimes. That one ended up upgrading after all.)<br /><br />To any effect, we ended up being at home with the <i>option</i> to put in some work if we wanted to. I answered a few emails and ordered some ink for one of the grad labs, but that was about it. <br /><br />I would have like to have been going and getting the fingerprinting done for the name change, but since the Sheriff's office was closed to the public today with the storm, now we have to wait until Tuesday. I swear: it never ends. <br /><br />What I've really need is a quiet day to rest, and I'm going to try to do as much of that as I can while I can... with the homework I have.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=1011101" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:1010746NaNoWriMo: Day 092022-11-12T04:56:40Z2022-12-04T11:59:57Zdrainedpublic0So many meetings today. <br /><br />Okay, not <i>so many</i>, but two meetings are enough to count as so many, right? I had the bi-weekly administrative meeting. I'm not sure how much we actually accomplished there, but it felt like it might have been a something. Perhaps. Could be.<br /><br />I also had a meeting with the Dean's Office about fundraising. Shaila was supposed to be there, but she didn't even message me until the meeting was over. Oh well.<br /><br />Anyway, apparently, work is going to be canceled tomorrow for TS/Hurricane Nicole. I... can certainly live with this. My concentration is shot, after all.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=1010746" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:999600Ian2022-09-27T09:07:14Z2022-09-27T09:07:14Zhotpublic0We got news today that the university will only be open through Wednesday. Classes are only going to be going today and then be canceled the rest of the week. The university itself will be completely closed Thursday and Friday.<br /><br />I... can live with this.<br /><br />We've got food, water, sandbags, cat food... pretty much everything we need. The only thing we don't have is prescription refills, but I think we're okay there. (And cash, but that's almost as hard to come by as extra prescription medication.)<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=999600" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:999362Prepping Sunday2022-09-26T09:06:59Z2022-09-26T09:06:59Zfrustratedpublic0I woke up to a text from the City of Tallahassee saying, in essence, "You might want to prepare for Hurricane Ian to hit Tallahassee". We had plenty of "us food", plenty of kitten dry food and dry big kitty food, and so forth... but we needed to get some more wet kitty food and some bottled water.<br /><br />Us and everyone in Tallahassee needed to get bottled water. We ended up finding some at Target (though there was also some at ALDI that would have been cheaper, oh well). We got the kitties stocked up for a while on wet food, so I think we should be good. We even found some water out in the shed that we bought for beach trips, though I need to check if the bottles have expired there.<br /><br />I might still go by Fred George Park and get enough sandbags for our back door, given the way the back porch floods with the lightest rains.<br /><br />Otherwise, yeah, I think we're set.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=999362" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:967978I don't have much to say2022-05-27T07:18:53Z2022-05-27T07:18:53Zhotpublic0I don't have much to say for today: I'm tired, I'm kind of cranky, and I'll be damned if the constant rain doesn't have me aching in the weirdest places. Like my freaking right hip hurts. That's never hurt before. Oh well, nothing for it.<br /><br />I don't know: it's just a hard day all around, and I've got fucking nothing left in me. <br /><br />When the highlight of the week so far has been getting a new lawn guy... for the same price as the old lawn guy... who does twice as much as the old lawn guy... yeah.<br /><br />That's all I've got, though.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=967978" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:967681Work and so forth2022-05-26T08:10:37Z2022-05-26T08:10:37Zhotpublic0Right now, we're still working from home, what with the asbestos abatement going on at work. I'm sort of fine with that. I spent almost the entire first year of my work back at FSU working from home. The only better about the old apartments than here was that the place was all one level, so it was easier to keep cool. I'm feeling that right now with the rain finally -- <i>finally</i> -- here and the humidity up.<br /><br />And yeah, that's about all I can summon up any enthusiasm about.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=967681" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:964738I just kind of have to laugh2022-05-14T07:37:06Z2022-05-14T07:37:06Zawakepublic0I kinda have to laugh: sitting on the phone talking to Mum while she gets stuff together for her vacation this weekend, talking about the vacation she wants us to take in August, and she throws in a casual "You know you're welcome to drive down to Daytona and join us". It took everything I had in me not to laugh out loud. It's just a casual 4+ hour drive from here. That's it. I mean, yeah, I do the Jacksonville drive every so often, but that's generally with a lot of planning ahead of time.<br /><br />Lots of nasty weather in the forecast, so we are probably not doing Saint George tomorrow. I'm going to be mad as hell if the weather is pretty. But either way, it'll give us a chance to relax and get things done. We'll see if we actually accomplish anything.<br /><br />But first, slumber party downstairs with the cats so that we can sleep in a bit. Yay.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=964738" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:944292Happy birthday to me2022-02-23T09:09:31Z2022-02-23T09:09:31Zcontentpublic0I've made it another orbit of the planet again. Yay. <br /><br />I had to get my tag renewed first thing this morning, but it ended up going fairly smoothly. My appointment was at 8:30, and I was done by 8:45. It only took that long because the person helping me had to change her computer password because technology waits for no person. I got us both smoothies to tide us over until lunch.<br /><br />We ended up trying McGowan's Hops and Grapes for lunch, where <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://katsuko.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://katsuko.dreamwidth.org/'><b>katsuko</b></a></span> treated me.

I tried their apple and gorgonzola flatbread (very nice), and we split a plate of the biggest fried green tomatoes I've seen in a while. We did a little thrift store shopping, grabbed a few necessary groceries from Walmart, used my "you can only use this today" Starbucks birthday prize, and then we headed home for showers and class. Because, of course, despite Leila utterly baffling us before this big project, we still had class. <br /><br />I did get a package in the mail from Mum: a nice warm flannel coat. Sort of in between my sweater and my heavy coat, so that'll be helpful. Of course, it's been short sleeves weather the last few days. (Fucking Florida: February is not supposed to be short sleeves. It's not supposed to be in the 80s!)<br /><br />And that's been today.<br /><br />So, yeah, happy birthday to me.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=944292" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:933057Sunday2022-01-10T06:40:45Z2022-01-10T06:47:23Zfrustratedpublic0Sadly, my weekend is now up again. Honestly, where the hell does it go? I swear, I just left work. Okay, yeah, I know at least a good chunk of it was spent in the car yesterday. Sometimes that feels like such wasted time. It used to be plotting and planning fics time; now it feels like it's "talk about politics" time. I'm honestly sort of sick to death of politics. There has to be something else to talk about, right?<br /><br />Other than that, I don't know. I'm just not entirely sure I'm ready to go back to work and be the only one in the office. Dr. Lee rarely comes in. Christina tested positive so I'm not sure how much longer she'll be out. <br /><br />But right now, I'm just going to try to deal with the damn headache I've got developing at the moment. The storm outside isn't helping.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=933057" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:901485Wednesday2021-09-09T05:02:50Z2021-09-09T05:02:50Ztiredpublic1Yeah, I think it's Wednesday. I'm still incredibly off right now, and I suspect I'm going to be the rest of the week. These short weeks always do this to me. <br /><br />I made a lot of progress on the newsletter today. I'm not done, of course, because I ended up having to break away a lot to deal with a hundred different issues with reimbursements and partial payments and master's theses and everything else. <br /><br />I did go ahead and cancel my eye appointment. We're going to need that $110 elsewhere. I might be able to get my prescription renewed through 1-800 Contacts for $20, if nothing else, and just order contacts from them. I had good luck with them in the past, though admittedly that was a long time in the past: apparently, my last order was in 2012. (Before that was in 2009.) <br /><br />To make matters even more fun, my power just blew completely, so I'm going to finish this up off my phone's connection, give the girls a treat, and then go to bed. It's going to get damn hot up there, though, with no air circulating. Can't open the window with TS Mindy unleashing outside. I might try to see if I still have a USB powered fan.<br /><br />That's it. Time to fumble around in the dark with my phone flashlight.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=901485" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:895714Monday2021-08-17T04:00:12Z2021-08-17T04:00:12Zawakepublic0So yeah, the university was closed today thanks to TS Fred. We both ended working from home. It's been a while since I've gotten to do that, and it's been long enough to feel weird again. I did end up working on action reports for most of the day. <br /><br />Yeah, that's been a bit of a thing. But it looks like we're back in the office tomorrow, depending on how much is on the road when I try to leave tomorrow. There's plenty of little branches down from what I can see, but I live right off a canopy road (tree-covered road) so it's going to be more. That's all there is to it.<br /><br />So, we'll see.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=895714" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:895444Sunday2021-08-16T04:52:01Z2021-08-16T04:52:01Znauseatedpublic0This is going to have to be quick. I've had a headache going most of the day, so I went ahead and took one of the prescriptions. Both of them have an unfortunate habit of making me incredibly sleepy as hell.<br /><br />Hurricane Fred might have downgraded to a tropical storm, but apparently, it's pointed straight at Tallahassee. Thanks to that, the university has moved online tomorrow. I'm pretty all right with this. <br /><br />Hopefully, the headache will be better tomorrow so I can get some work done from home.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=895444" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:888692Camp NaNoWriMo July 2021 Edition - Day 202021-07-21T07:41:06Z2021-07-21T07:41:06Zcoldpublic0Well, we have marathoned our way through Season One of <i>Titans</i>. And I promise it isn't <i>entirely</i> because there looks to be Red Hood in Season 3. Maybe just 86% because of it. <br /><br />Nothing special as far as work goes today.

We got drenched... and our umbrellas both leaked. I've spent a lot of today looking at new umbrellas and maybe some raincoats (at last). <br /><br />And yeah, that's all I've got in me. I keep zoning completely out. If I could just concentrate at night, I could probably pound out this entry in 20 minutes, instead of nearly 3 hours.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=888692" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:884766Camp NaNoWriMo July 2021 Edition - Day 052021-07-06T05:58:23Z2021-07-06T05:58:23Ztiredpublic0I've made it back to Tallahassee. Half the time, I was driving in rain, so that was a pain in the ass, but I'm home, and that'll have to do.<br /><br />I guess our project is finished. I've got uploaded privately to YouTube, so that it's backed up in case we need it for later. <br /><br />Maybe now I can start working on the damn paper for 5411: 1000 words on something that we've covered in class. I was leaning towards intellectual property rights, especially pertaining to author's rights, since that's of some personal interest to me and it seems like a fairly narrow topic that I can still get a thousand or so words out of. <br /><br />So, yeah, Camp isn't going great this year so far. I'm going to keep trying, though.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=884766" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:884050Camp NaNoWriMo July 2021 Edition - Day 022021-07-03T05:47:23Z2021-07-03T05:47:23Zawakepublic2Okay, I guess I am off to an objectively rather terrible start to Camp NaNoWriMo this year. I'm trying. I really am trying, but it's honestly trying me. It might be a case of there being too much going on in my life to be able to accomplish as much as I want to. <br /><br />That, and my mind is super scattered right now. I mean, I'm literally a bit shook that I can hold a thought in there at all right now. Not sure what to do with that. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm off tomorrow to visit with Mum and Hayden for a couple of days. After the help with the down payment on the car, it's the least I can do. I can't stay their entire vacation, until next weekend, but I can at least spend part of my Independence Day holiday there. <br /><br />If the weather permits it, <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://katsuko.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://katsuko.dreamwidth.org/'><b>katsuko</b></a></span> and I are going to try to do a Saint George visit next weekend. This was supposed to be the summer of St. George visits, and then everything started going wrong, mainly the whole transmission on Emma thing. So, as long as the weather holds, we'll do something fun, just the two of us, next weekend.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=884050" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:881036Sunday2021-06-21T04:04:41Z2021-06-21T04:05:31Zstressedpublic0Y'all, I had forgotten how much <i>fun</i> hurricane season could be in Florida. Claudette has slowly been moving up the south and into the east coast, and in the meantime, we've been getting plenty of rain dropped on us. <br /><br />Unsurprisingly, I haven't heard from Werner yet. I'm not sure how long this process takes, done the way Mum and Charlie apparently approach car shopping. I am fully expecting to get a phone call or email from Kraft Nissan tomorrow because the internet sales guy at least seems to give a shit about getting my business. That happens, I'm feeling like I might unleash all my grievances and see if it makes any difference: I should be getting invoice pricing, he said my car would get at least $4400 (not $2500), Werner is willing to give me $4400 for Emma and they should at least beat those prices), etc.<br /><br />Valdosta Nissan has a Kicks S in stock with $500 back in Nissan Bucks. With the down payment I have and if I can get at least $3800 in trade-in for Emma, I can get payments down around where I want them. But I really don't want to have to go to Valdosta. Then again, if Hayden does end up at Valdosta State, it might give a built-in excuse for visits, if I go there for oil changes and such.<br /><br />And yeah, that's sort of where I'm at right now...<br /><br />Other than that we meal-prepped breakfasts and lunches for the whole work week, and I'm stupid proud of that fact.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=881036" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:852344Short2021-03-01T06:42:26Z2021-03-01T06:42:26Zcrankypublic0This is going to be really short because I'm tired and hot and a bit ready to find a place to be horizontal for sleep. <br /><br />It's starting to get a bit warm in Tallahassee, so I'm definitely going to have to find some space to get the fan out of retirement. The best I've been able to come up with for location is to rearrange the lamp in the situation and put it there. It's definitely not a "late at night' position, but it's the best I've got as far as the living room is concerned. <br /><br />Every so often today, someone has seen fit to remind me of part of why we're moving. Earlier today, we had the upstairs neighbors with their music blaring so loud I could make out lyrics from the living room. And now I've got people parked outside with the stereos going... and I can't even tell if they're in the apartment complex or the mall parking lot a quarter of a mile away: I have been able to hear some folks' stereos in either place just as well thanks to how loud they're cranked up.<br /><br />So that's all I've got in me. Good night, all.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=852344" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:849448Rainy day2021-02-18T17:04:05Z2021-02-18T17:04:05Zirritatedpublic0Y'all, it's so gloomy and overcast today. The rain hasn't started yet, but it's coming. You can feel it the second you step outside. You can almost see it out the window. At least now I have rainboots again, so that'll help. I even remembered my umbrella. Hopefully, this time, I should be okay.<br /><br />I'm still so stressed out about the damn money and getting it all settled up. We called the collections company, who said it should all be off our reports by March 8 at the latest. Not sure how much that actually helps when it still shows that damned remaining balance on the credit reports. And I think I found one that should be marked as paid off, so I guess I'll have to call and find out what's what there too.<br /><br />So much to do, so little time.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=849448" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:844189So today was a day2021-01-29T06:57:40Z2021-01-29T06:57:40Zannoyedpublic0I'm still feeling slightly chilled after my impromptu knee-down soaking yesterday. Hell, both my boots and my socks are still wet. I mean, I've had the socks hanging up because I didn't want to just toss them in the hamper while they were still soaked, but they still feel a lot like they just came out of the washing machine. <br /><br />Yeah, I guess I do need to give up and get some new rain boots, huh?<br /><br />I'm vaguely annoyed. This was supposed to be a three paycheck month for me, but because of the vagaries caused by the New Years Day holiday, my check on the first counted as December, so my check today will be a normal check, not one with a little extra on it. <br /><br />I have until February 7 to tell my leasing office if we'll be renewing our lease. And honestly, yeah, I'm counting it as me telling them because that's what it will end up being. I'm the one with anxieties out the ass, but I'm still the one who has to do all the confrontational stuff. It sucks. I hate it. But I've had to accept it.<br /><br />And yeah, that's it. I'm just going to go to bed and try not to be angry.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=844189" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:263960:843783What???2021-01-28T08:33:11Z2021-01-28T08:33:11Zcoldpublic0Y'all, I'm not sure I can figure out quite how to express my confusion right now. I started to type the Friday on the subject line. I mean, of course, a quick glance at the menu bar was proved how to me just right about how correct I actually was... which was to say, not very. I got to missing a whole damn day.<br /><br />No more spats from the girls. The Feliway and calming collars got in today, so we'll see if that helps them chill the fuck out. The plugins alone didn't really help Luci and Boo, but Samara's a very different kitty to Boo. Again, we'll see.<br /><br />This weekend, we're going to Cuthbert to go through our stuff there and to help go through some more of Grandmother's stuff as well. It's going to be a fly-by visit: drive up first thing in the morning and come home in the evening.<br /><br />We got a bad pop of thunderstorms and a tornado earlier today. I found out that none of my rainboots made the trip back to Florida, so I got soaked just about halfway up my legs. All this time, and FSU still hasn't fixed the issue where the sidewalks behind turn into a river if the water comes down quickly enough.<br /><br />All the corsets are going in the mail tomorrow to be exchanged for a smaller size. We actually measured, but once we tried them on, they were so huge in the tits that they were just impractical. So... exchange time. Same ones, down a few sizes.<br /><br />We finally got in touch with Bob today. He's retiring, so he had nothing to offer us but names of new people who might be worthwhile to work with. He had one rental that he just offloaded to one of those people yesterday. Even if he hadn't, there's no guarantee he would have been able to have them hold it for me.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=apollymi&ditemid=843783" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
