TWO DAYS OFF, OMG!

And the best part is...they probably can't call me in because if I get another shift I will probably be going into overtime. Hurrah!

Not sure what I am going to do with myself, other than cleaning this hellhole of an apartment (it is really bad right now gais!). Probably watch some more Lost (very likely even finish season 4 @_@!). Also I want to do lots and lots of writing and RPing because I haven't been in the mood f much lately and need to get into gear (especially if I don't want to be screwed come the end of the week for Himitsu).

Oh and eat the junk food I bought for myself because I have time to chill and eat it. Excellent times!

A few updates.

1. I've managed to pick up a few extra shifts already, hurrah. One is this Friday (meaning Thursday is my only day off this week) and three for next week (so now I have four for then). This makes me very happy!

2. I've started watching Lost season one and am also checking out season one of Eureka. Not as sold on the latter as I am on the former (one episode in and I'm getting the rest of the season, since I only had the first three already to preview it).

3. My apartment is still a mess because I didn't get it cleaned over the weekend (slacked off Saturday, ended up working Sunday). Oops.

4. I really REALLY need to get moving on my BSG Big Bang fic. I have to write about 18,000 words in two months. Less than NaNo but only if I actually get a move on soon. Plus I'll probably soon be writing screenplay assignments too.

My parents just left for the cottage. I'm off to work in about an hour though so really not much time to catch up on internet life.

I do however want to celebrate my brand new digital camera! It's an early Christmas present and I'm very excited about it. I was using a camera I got from Bruce but it's really too big and complicated for what I want so now I have a point-and-click that can easily fit in my purse.

Also Marian has suggested that my new ottoman might be the source of the bug that is attacking Elphie, which makes sense since it is new and she likes to sit on it. I'm really hoping that it is fleas and not bedbugs. Because that would really suck, ESPECIALLY since the ottoman is now filled with my costumes.

However I just had a mysterious insect on my hand and looking at pictures I think it was more likely a flea than a bed bug. Unfortunately it jumped away before I got a good look.

Edit: Just pulled all the costumes out and I didn't see any bugs in there at all, so at very least there aren't too many of them. The bug from before definitely wasn't a bed bug so I'm hoping it was indeed on of the fleas that just came in through the window screen or something, since there are a fair number of feral cats in the area and yeah...best explanation I can think of. Will continue to assume fleas, which means I want to clean out the front rooms of my apartment ASAP.

Ack.

So, I found out that Margaret had bought lightbulbs the other day and just failed to mention it (I thought she had forgotten and thus had been spending a lot of time in the dark XD) so I went to go and get them where the needed to be. One was in the light over the kitchen table. But I had it screwed in and flipped the switch and...nothing. So I tried to tighten it...still nothing. Fiddled around a bit more, flipped the switch...and there is a lovely snapping sound as suddenly the TV goes off. Yay for blowing fuses.

I considered seeing if I could find the fuse box and fix it, but then decided this was a BAD IDEA. And so I called Rick and he should be here in 20 minutes or so. Then I can follow him down and learn how to fix such things without electrocuting anyone in the future. Useful knowledge.

However, I had been planning on going into town like, right now because there's stuff I need to pick up ASAP and this really is the only day I could get them, since tomorrow and Monday are holidays and Sunday shopping hours aren't so great.

But I guess that can wait until the househousehouse is fixed. Whenever things start to break around here...everything goes at once.

Edit: Problem fixed, sorta. We can't use the light over the table right now, but the TV works again so all is good.

So I got home and found Rick was finally here, taking a look at the basement. This is good, since it's been what, over a week since he was originally supposed to come deal with it? Anyway, I am happy about this, even if it does mean I don't have the house to myself and thus have to close doors and stuff to change.

Then it gets even more fun...there's a whole heck of a lot of water on the floor of the bathroom for some strange, unknown reason. It's far too late for it to have been from a shower and yeah...unknown water. Luckily it happened the day Rick was out. Unluckily...THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG!

Also on a sad note now that I have to deal with this I may not have time for my soaps and I have to delay eating my hot dogs and the greek dips I made yesterday (these are not being eaten together XD). Angst, woe ;_;

Oh, and apparently my speakers think they are French right now. Joy. Stupid speakers-turned-radio.

Edit: Okay, problems fixed now. Hopefully nothing else breaks for awhile!
