Ah, the weekend – my favorite part of the week. I got paid yesterday, so I had to go to the bank this morning. I thought about running a few errands while I was there, but I just didn’t feel like it, so it looks like those will have to wait until tomorrow when I take my grandpa to drop the car off at the shop. There’s something wrong with it – water pump, I think – and they had to order the part at the shop.
Today, I feel like I’ve been slightly more productive than usual. I worked on some of my fanlistings. I wound up closing five of them. It wasn’t because I’m not longer a fan, but I’ve had them for a few years with little growth. It seemed pointless to keep them open if no one was joining. All the while, I’ve been listening to Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer on audiobook. It’s the first time I’ve listened since right after I got the book, I think. I’ve slowly been going back through the whole series. I guess I should have stretched it out a bit more since I have to wait until November for New Moon to come out in theaters. The trailer, however, is premiering at the MTV Movie Awards tomorrow night, so that’s exciting.
I’m kind of annoyed, though. My Internet connection seems to be running a bit slow. It’s been that way off and on over the last few months. There’s been a few times where it hasn’t connected at all, and when that problem occurs, it usually originates back at the Linksys router. I’m not sure if that’s what’s causing the slow connection as well, though. I know it’s much faster when no one else in the house is on the computer, but it usually doesn’t make it as slowl as it has been the last couple of nights. Grr.

Oh, man, I’m still on the mend from yesterday’s shopping excursion. I am just so tired. I really threw myself of kilter by barely getting any sleep Thursday night, and then getting up extremely early Friday morning. I was dead on my feet all day yesterday, but I did sleep pretty soundly last night.
I have a big job ahead of me this weekend. I need to upgrade the script I use for my fanlistings. Unfortunately, it’s not one of those deals where you can just upgrade from whatever version you’re at to the latest one, so I have about five levels of upgrades to go through. I’m going to shower and eat before I get into working on that. I’ll probably listen to Twilight on audiobook once I get in the rhythm of what I need to do. Maybe I’ll even get into New Moon since I’m about done with Twilight. Blaine wanted to go see the movie again. I might call him later and see if he and Trey still want to go. Like I would give up a chance to see the movie again.
I haven’t worked in almost two weeks now. I don’t know how I’ll do once I get called in again. I could see this week with the holiday coming up and all that. I don’t know how things are around Christmas. I’d kind of assume that maybe they’d be a bit busier with people getting shirts for their loved ones as gifts, but I really don’t know.
I’m thinking of trying to find another job. Of course I’d still keep my current one, but I really don’t work there a whole lot. Usually 15 hours a week at the max. I think the only problem would be with conflicting schedules. I think I’d be fit for jobs in logistics. I’m organized, good at planning and pretty detailed oriented. Who knows if I’m actually qualified, though? I’d just really love to have some extra money so I could start saving up to move out into my own place. I know my sister is wanting to do the same thing, and I’ve entertained the idea of asking her if she’d want to get an apartment together, but I’m not totally sure I’d want to live with her. We used to always get on each other’s nerves when we shared a room, but we are older now, so who knows? But all of that is pretty dependent on me finding a decent, stable job and saving up money.

I’ve been working on a new layout. I just haven’t got around to coding it yet. It’s on my very long to-do list. I have tons of stuff I’m hoping to finish before Saturday, but I have a feeling most of it’s going to have to wait – like redoing my fanlistings. I guess it’s not that big of a deal. They’ve been waiting all summer and another month isn’t going to hurt. If I can get them all done before Christmas, it would be like a present to myself.
I have made a lot of progress with preparing for NaNoWriMo. I finished the outline for Absolution on Sunday. I had most of it figured out, but I kept getting stuck at the end. I talked it through with Nikki, and that really helped a lot just to have someone to bounce the ideas off of. In the end, we kind of went with the thought I was initially having, but I added a bit more to it. I guess just saying what’s going on out loud sort of helps get those creative juices flowing. I’m really happy with things now. I’m really anxious to get started. I have a couple of things I want to do before Saturday, but I should be able to get them out of the way tomorrow if I don’t have to go into work.
I went to my mom’s for dinner tonight. My grandma was cooking ham and beans, which I despise to the highest degree. On top of that my uncle and cousins were coming out for dinner, and I’ve honestly had my fill of them this last week. I love them because they’re my family, but, man, they get on my nerves. As often as they’ve been around lately, I feel like I could join the wine of the month club and lock myself away in my bedroom and drink myself silly. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
