M-O-N-D-A-Y S-U-C-K-S!

Well, the new season of the Ellen Degeneres Show starts today, and Bonnie Hunt's show started today, so that's a plus. But I have an annoying headache. Being on my computer (man, that sounds weird... MY computer!) probably isn't helping much, either. It started out as a headache and sinus pressure, so I took a Claritin, which helped with the pressure.

Back to my computer. I was on it yesterday, and had a strange craving for seafood sauce, the kind of sauce you dip shrimp or calamari into. I couldn't believe it. Seafood sauce! I was craving seafood sauce!!! I find this weird mainly because I got sick of seafood sauce and stopped eating it with shrimp and calamari.

I also had to do updates on my computer. Java was yelling at me, as was Windows. On top of that, when I opened a PDF, Adobe decided to automatically update. Then I had to install the Adobe updates, with help from Dad. Dad also helped me with the Java updates and with the Windows updates. Fun. i did get some writing done while I waited for stuff to finish updating, though. I'm still getting used to Microsoft Word 2007, though, because on the downstairs computer, the version of Word that we have is '97-2003. Eeep.

My shoulders ache as well. I did push-ups, sit-ups and squats today, because I felt that I needed to exercise more. I haven't gone to cardio kickboxing in a while, so I'm out of shape. Mom wants me to go to the cardio class tonight, actually.

Another day of grogginess? SERIOUSLY?!

I'm still feeling weird. My stomach isn't as weird as it was yesterday, but I still feel a tad light-headed. Maybe I have a cold. I so do not want to go to cardio kickboxing tonight. I'd rather stay home and do push-ups and sit-ups. Squats, too. Besides, my workout music is so much better than the stuff they play in cardio kickboxing class. And the regular kickboxing class. By 'regular', I mean the non-cardio class where you actually get to hit people - just not too hard, or you get in deep, deep trouble. I love that class, but I can't go to that class because of the bone graft in my mouth. I can't wait until that fake tooth goes in! I know it takes this long for a reason, but I'm itching to kickbox a human being instead of a bag.

I swept a bit in the living room (I wanted to listen to that Bob Dylan CD I have out of the library, but the stereo wasn't reading it), then I went on the computer to load this morning's photos on the computer from my little camera, then I put them onto Flickr. Actually, I'm going to experiment... one moment, please...





Here are my fingerless gloves. They haven't been sewn yet, as you can see, but I'll get 'round to it.




Here is my kerchief scarf. I think I have enough cotton to make it into a wrap-of-sorts, so I put it onto a circular needle that Mom let me borrow. Thanks, Mom! :)




I took this a few days, maybe a week ago. It's my ruff - with a button! I was going to take a photo of the buttons, but I completely forgot.

And finally...




Mousie resting on my - wait, no, HER - chair. Ain't she cute? :)

My thumb's better.

So, my thumb is healing nicely. Which is good, because that means I'll be able to play Final Fantasy VIII sometime soon. I had to start a new file a week or two ago because I got lost on my first file. Yikes.

I went to cardio kickboxing last night, and now I'm aching. It's my own fault, 'cause I haven't been going to cardio kickboxing on a regular basis like I should be.

Also, I started a new short story. It's about ghost hunters. I was so excited when I started writing down the characters names, because I'm so pround of the story idea.

I added a few more books to my GoodReads to-read list. Everyone has been talking about Twilight, so I thought, "Why not? Everyone on Ravelry who's read it loves it, so it can't be bad."

And now I'm craving honey garlic chicken wings. We ordered chicken wings last night, and we got some honey garlic ones. I had three for lunch and I'm hungry again. There's still five left, but I'll leave them for Dad.
