turnaround, plz


foundation, originally uploaded by Lizzie~Belle.

Tonight is the new moon, and tomorrow Mercury goes direct, so I'm hoping that this signals a turnaround. Things have felt stalled for some time now, and hopefully they'll now slingshot around the sun like the Enterprise and move forward.

Yes, I'm bored. *g*

The editor of our paper just told me that he has no motivation. I told him that it's January. We all feel that way. Well, most of us, around here, anyway.

At least it was a (relatively) nice day, and sunny, even. I got out at lunchtime, and took the above shot of an apple tree in downtown East Longmeadow. This is more of that tree:

apple tree

Behind it is a baseball diamond, covered in snow.

I slept straight through the night, for the first time in ages. I guess I really was exhausted. My legs, especially the backs of my thighs, are sore and stiff from bending and squatting to bail water last night. Ugh. Ouch.

My bathroom had better be dry when I get home!

guess what?

Yup, the bathroom is flooded. I am so angry, I could go 'splody. Looks like another night without a proper dinner, and soreness from bailing and mopping. The only good thing is that it didn't spill over into the hallway and kitchen. I just left a testy message on my landlord's answering machine. Tomorrow, I'm calling the town offices and complaining.

good things

It's not all flooded bathrooms and cranky computers here. There are a few bright spots at Chez LizzieBelle:

* Disc 1 of season 3 of The Tudors arrived from Netflix today.

* I have almost 96 hours of vacation time coming to me.

* I'm reading [livejournal.com profile] cmpriest's Boneshaker, and so far I'm enjoying it very much.

* Hot chocolate with whipped cream. I'm just sayin'.

* Sunset is now at 4:43 p.m. It's not yet dark out when I get out of work.

* Mercury goes direct tomorrow. Tomorrow.

Bathroom floor is almost dry now. Oh, please, please let it stay that way!
