whitereflectionUm. Or something like that. Don't ask me what that's all about. I think my brain just spasmed. Meh. *flails*
Anyway, still in an off mood, but it's better than the extreme pissed-ness I was in last evening. For those not already ranted at, I got home from work to discover that--thank you Qwest!--my phones were not working *again*. But this is a different problem from last week: then, I was getting a loud buzzing sound, and folks dialing in just got a busy signal; now, I'm getting *no* sound at all, total silence, and folks dialing in just hear ringing and ringing (but I don't hear it ring, and the answering machine doesn't pick up. I was luckily able to use my Dad's cel to call Qwest for a repair request, but lord knows when they'll fix it. Last time took two days. What bothers me is that I can let all you know it's busted, or folks like my Mom via email--but I have no way of letting James know. He'll try to call in from up at the Con, and just get ringing, and be left wondering what the hell's up.
*sigh* I hate Qwest. I really, really do. I so want to ditch my phone line entirely, and go completely cel (which I could, as our cable/cable modem is separate from our phone service), but James hates cel phones nigh violently, so... *shrugs* Tho if this happens again, I swear, Thor Will Lay Down The Law, and I'm going to *demand* to change it. I'm really damn fed up with it. Especially since, consider it--I'm at home, totally alone now, with absolutely no phone service. Does this sound safe to you? Especially since I'm dealing with still recovering from the accident? (Not to mention, nice that insurance folks can't get ahold of me at home now--luckily they have my work # ).
Anyway, end rant on that topic. Speaking of recovering, I'm finally noticing some improvement on how the legs are. I'm not limping as bad, though I can't keep from walking slowly, gingerly. And for some reason it hurts a hell of a lot last night and this am. I think part of the problem is I had to scoop the three catboxes (with as many cats as we've got, you accumulate a lot of litterboxes) since James, the usual scooping person, won't be back until Sunday night--and no *way* can those boxes last until then. Trouble is, to scoop, I had to kneel (I tried doing it standing, and I just couldn't reach down enough), and kneeling is *BAD*. I may have more range of motion on the right, but kneeling on it sucked, and the left is *angry* that I bent it like that. XP I'm not doing that all again until Saturday am--if the damned furry beasts wouldn't make such a mess (damn them for eating and excreting), I'd let it go longer, but I just can't. It'll be bad enough waiting that long. Bleah.
*extrahugs Nix, Kea, Jenn and Brandon* I've missed you guys. A *bunch*. I'm glad I got a short time to hang out with you.
Hm...this evening, Katherine is talking about coming over to test if a CD-ROM someone gave her with the Saiyuki movie "Requiem" on it works on my computer. *crosses fingers* Let's hope hope *hope* that it does! *flails* And tomorrow we're planning a Gravitation marathon for me, Anj, Kelly, and Katherine, if we can get that all scheduled. And if we have the time, I plan on pulling out and showing Sen afterwards. :D That would be much cool.
Quote of the day (from my work e-mail .sig):
to be nobody but yourself--in a
world which is doing its best,
night and day, to make you like
everybody else--means to fight
the hardest battle which any
human being can fight, and never
stop fighting.

...I miss Nix already. >_< *flails*
