Apparently, if you drop a large amount of loose coins by accident on the floor and snarl "Damn!" at yourself, it's grounds to get yelled at. And if you roll your eyes in a "just my luck" way when your manager lets someone in 15 min after your closed and you JUST started to check your work (I could have used a "wait, one sec, one more person" BEFORE I started) it's grounds to get a lecture on proper customer interaction. In front of the other workers no less. I'm pissed about that part.

Yes. I shouldn't have said damn. it slipped, I was mad at myself.

Yes, I really shouldn't have rolled my eyes. I meant nothing by it, and I'm sorry if the customer thought I was annoyed with her. I wasn't, I was annoyed at my shitty luck, and trying to poke mean humor at myself.

Also, when I say I am uncomfortable with being teased on my spelling, even when a person says they're laughing because the spell check missed it, it should be dropped. Particularly at work. I'm not overly sensitive about a lot (I don't think) but some things really do bother me. Smells and spelling happen to be big on the list.

I know I shouldn't let any of it bother me, I've just had an off week, it happens....but you know what? I don't need shit at work for two slip ups in one week on top of it.

Weekly update.

Well now, Jache has gotten a haircut (pics coming soon, my camera has no batteries right now) She looks good. Planning on taking Mukki to the Garden state cat show this July.

Finally got my cherry tree in the ground, and also planted a hydrangea. Had a friend come over and help.

Coby and I saw the new Karate Kid movie. Personally, I give it a 10/10. Very nice remake. It followed the basic plot, but I enjoyed the differences greatly. Jaden Smith did well as a lead, and Jackie Chan rocks.

I've been re-reading some books with my e-book reader (Tamora Pierce books right now) and I've got a complaint. See, the books I'm reading are older, and it's obvious that they were transcribed so they'd be on the readers. There are a LOT of mistakes, spelling and in names. I'm sorry, I don't think that's acceptable, it reads like something someone in high-school wrote, and then didn't spell check. I normally cut a lot of slack for spelling, since I'm Disgraphic, but, these are PUBLISHED works. COME ON PEOPLE "and jew left the city" is just not paying attention ("and few left the city") but "Tjere" is something that WOULD be caught with spell check. and get the names right.

But, other then that, life is ok. I'm off to watch anime.

Walk in an abandoned golf course....

Find a fawn! Coby, Jache and I went for a walk today in a golf course that's in forclosure....and stumbled across this baby fawn! It was day's old at the oldest, though, judging by the pink hoofs, I'd say hours old. The doe was no-where to be seen, so after some photo's we left the fawn. We never touched it, and since we were on top of it when we saw it, we didn't really get any closer (No closer then Jache had gotten... Never know what you'll see on a walk. Last week, I saw a baby groundhog and a snapper....

We also saw geese, turkeys and squirrels.

Drawing

I seriously need to get back into drawing. Or at least writing. I'm going through a phase right now when I just can't get up the enthusiasm I need. I have ideas....most involve people, however, and I am not good at drawing people, so instead of getting all pissed off at the crap-tastic drawings I'd make, I haven't done any. How lame. I could at least write....Or type up the Char bio's I already have. Damn I'm lazy right now. I can kind of say work has kept me busy, and reading takes less effort...so I'm reading. Give me a week or two, and I'll get back to drawing. I really need to regain my skills... I swear I have a few sketches I could work on!

But in the mean time, I've been going to movies, and practically inhaling books. I've also been walking Jache almost every day, and working hard, and doing a good amount of yard work....But! I WILL make time in my day for the creative arts! Writing, drawing, and practicing my Mandolin (which has been sitting in a closet, neglected).

Poor Mukki

We sent Killian, a queen we brought over for Mukki to breed with, back. She hated him, and didn't go into heat for 2 months. She was a sweet cat, other then that. So, she goes back home, with a bit of a limp, and Mukki's got a puffy eye....It wasn't meant to be...again. He's never going to get laid, or be a dad if this keeps up.

Got a lot of yard work done, still lots more to do. The rain isn't helping the last few days. Seems to only rain on my days off. So, today I put together a shelving unit, cleaned out the closet it was going in, set it up, and promptly stacked it full of books. It's already overflowing. That's the problem with being a bibliophile.

Jache has been spayed, and except for the shaved spots, is fully recovered. She needs a bath....so does Mukki. She's doing better about listening to me. I need to work on being firmer. Now that she's all better, I'm going to start taking her on hikes again. She likes them.

Licking my way though a Jawbreaker.....setting up my Wii for streaming Netflix....wishing I could afford more books and Anime....and that's about it. Oh, working on a story....I'll post a link when I have a first chapter. So far I only have Char. Bio's, plot, and overall setting done. That just leaves the fun part; writing the story.

Meh.

I've always wanted to start a blog with that. Not much going on. Catching up on my bills (YAY). Taking Jache to the vet Thurs for her second Lyme shot. I'm not taking any chances with Lyme. I'm going to schedule her spaying for two weeks from now....don't tell her.

It's very cold today. On Saturday, Mom, Jache, and I went for a hike in a park. It was fun, and the dog behaved, so she's getting better. We're waiting to hear back from this woman about dog training. She wanted classes to start may 1st....but I have not heard anything in a week.

I'm waiting for FUNimation to put out "season" 3 and 4 of D.gray-man. Not that I can afford it yet. Seriously, not a whole lot going on. Waiting till it gets warmer for some serious yard-related activities....not that I'll be playing out there, the yard slopes really bad.

I'm off to warm up. And maybe make another dinner. Yes, another one. I'm still hungry.

warui!

warui, warui (sorry, sorry)...

I've been busy with my new job, and with the puppy, and been lazy....so I have not updated in quite some time....

Let's see...

I saw "How to Train Your Dragon." I give it a 10/10. Great graphics, good plot. I've got a few more movies I want to see coming out this summer and late spring.

And this weather is driving me batty. Warm one day, cold the next. I hate being cold. Bought a new blueberry plant today to complement the one I already have. Also got my mom her mothers day gift; a purple rose bush. I wanted to get a weeping-cherry tree for myself, but couldn't find one. Oh! My huckleberry is finally setting berries.

In other news, not much going on. getting back into shape by walking Jache and stretching. It helps that I'm not at the Deli anymore, so I'm not tempted to eat crap all the time. Note to people who are dieting: Deli food is NOT good for you.

I'm working on a drawing of a tree. I hope to upload at least the line art -inked- soon. I may have my friend add the color, since I am horrible at color, but I still need to think about that.

I swear I'll be better about updating this! once a week! Come on Sprig, you can do that at least!
