Mission Acheived.

It took me a while yesterday to realize that I had to work today. So much that I didn't go to bed. Strangely I actually missed work this past week, though I felt sadder once I realized that Traves wouldn't be there. Now I think I'm okay with it. Leon's a good guy, and I have other work people I love enough to make it worthwhile. Ultimately, I think it's a good thing for everyone.

This morning, as usual (at least for the past week), I went to the gym. I guess it was yesterday morning, but when you don't go to bed it screws up time frames. I had wanted to play tennis beforehand, but that was not possible. Then I managed to fritter away the time until 1 pm or so, when Duckling and I went out to eat with my sis. Only she didn't want to go with us immediately for lack of hunger, and thus got bogged down with clients and hair cuts that only ended 2 hours later. I felt irritable that my day had been so easily wasted, even though it didn't inconvenience me too badly. In that time all I had to occupy myself with were magazines, which I can't honestly read, so instead just browse. So after an hour and a half of reading about the lives of people I don't know and thus could care less about, I got very very very bored and frustrated. My dad came in at that time, I guess to show my sister a friendly face, since she was working there alone as usual. He left almost immediately, saying to my sister "I guess you don't need me here, you have Miss Ornery Pants." That's me to a T. Anyway, Duckling and I ended up going to the library twice in that time, making that my third trip that day. Once for my holds, once for her holds, and another one for good measure when I decided I needed something of sustenance to read. I got Emma. It's sad that I'm minoring in English Literature, I love Austen, and I've never read Emma till now. I've meant to for a while, but it keeps getting pushed down on my list of things to do. Finally we ate, at Sconecutters. I needed serious sugar, and my sister paid for it as an apology to our wait. On our way out we were almost blown away by the incredible wind/almost rain storm. Wow that was forceful stuff.

At this point Duckling and I went to look at a t-shirt making place to see if they screen print t's and to check out prices. I finally finished the Big Ol' D design and saved it on the shirt I wanted, on the website I'm getting them from. I thought I'd check around first before finalizing though. But it looks like my original idea was best, so as soon as I get money from the parties that requested one (Frogkisser), I can order them. I also finished the Little Help League shirt design, so all I need is to find the shirts I want to put them on. I want a light blue, but the place I was counting on having them only had huge sizes. Does anyone else know where to buy blank t-shirts? It was a pretty productive week actually. I finally got around to returning the two pairs of shoes I needed to, and made the dog ears finally for Operation Clark In A Wagon. Now we need to decide when to execute said mission, which might be nice to wait for till Fun Week 2006. Though they might not have wagons for sale at that time, and that's a crucial part of our plan.

In other news, Thursday my League team won both of our games and moved onto the Championship game. We've never played better, and though we ultimately lost the final, the whole thing felt great. Although I did tweek my back quite badly--because the Purple team is a bunch of vicious trollips. I don't think anyone on our team was not injured by them come the end of the game. Also, as of today the vast majority of my stuff is in Salt Lake. After going to the library yet again--this time to drop off stuff that will be due next week--I ended up moving all my stuff to my house this morning at midnight; luckily my roommate works later in the day and so is up incredibly late--meaning I did not wake anybody. But I felt a little sheepish, especially when I left an hour later to go to work. My room is looking quite homey, but I realized that neither of the two outlets had three prongs, which will make plugging in my computer and my extension chord not possible. Stupid old house. It looks like I'll have to get some extension chords that switch from double prongs to three.
