I really do enjoy things getting back to normal. Yesterday was the first day back at school for my kids, and my first day to just be completely lazy, and actually watch the tv shows I wanted to watch, till I fell asleep when *I* wanted to. Except, true to the nature of my actual days off, where I could just relax and be lazy most of the day, the phone rang off the hook and someone knocked at the door. I just am not even answering it. Or maybe they didn't knock at my door, they could have knocked on the neighbor's door. A few minutes later, I took a peek outside, and since there was no one there, I opened my door to make sure it wasn't the apartment people sticking a 'we'll-be-here-in-0.2-seconds-to-inspect-y Of course, there is a lot wrong here, and I will post in detail when I've got the energy to sit and cover it all. That time is not right now, though. To sum it up, I feel like a prisoner in my own home. I don't so much mind the phone calls I get during the day, and I can't turn the ringer off because Michael or the kids' school could be calling. But damn. I hate people knocking on the door. And I hate even worse the inconsiderate staff here either just posting a note on the door that says they'll be by in a bit to snoop around here, or just knocking and coming on in. I live in fear of having to answer my door and have my day ruined. I wish people would just leave me alone. On my 'days off' I like to lie around on my sofa and watch tv till I fall asleep. I don't want to get up for *anything* short of an emergency. And I feel I pay enough here that I shouldn't have to without at least a day's notice. The weatherman says we will probably see a wintry mix of precipitation later this afternoon or into the evening. I have my cocoa and milk and bread, so I am set, and won't have to get out today to fight all the people for it at the grocery store. Never mind that it's only going to be bad this afternoon or later tonight, there is no accumulation expected, and everything will be gone by tomorrow afternoon. That's a good thing, too, because my kids are so ready to go see their dad! If I don't completely sleep today away, I am going to get busy working on Donovan's art page, and on some journal layouts/styles. I got an extra greatestjournal just so I could play with custom journal layouts and styles, which I can't do here with a free account. But I think my lj layout looks pretty spiffy for a free account. I really like the customizations I've been able to make to it, so check it out if you like stuff like that and get a chance! I know some of you already did. It's the same layout that was here when I first linked to my layout in my previous entry. But because I am really in a pimping mood, I figured I'd put it out there again, in case someone missed it the other day. It may not be all that, but it is to me, and I feel pretty accomplished for someone who hasn't played around much with journal styles. Well, I am off to catch up on journal/blog reads and watch the rest of Charmed and drift back off, and ignore any people knocking on my door. Post a comment in response: |
