Still in shock! Walking around my new apartment with a huge goofy smile on my face. Can't quite believe it.

And hey - thanks for the support. :thankyou:

Outstanding. Very happy for you.

ETA: Yeh the air is much fresher on this side.

Anytime Ortho. *smiles*

What's making me happy is: My little Carrotchops. He's just so fucking gorgeous.

At the moment, my stomach, that is all. :p: I hope everyone is doing well. :)

I just quit my church today. I'd had enough. I just found out about a business meeting in the bulletin and that was the last straw. The Pastor could have called me, or sent me an email, so I could have had a heads up. I'm just tired of being in the dark all the time and having my work disregarded.

Ach damn, fargon, that sucks. Is this the same church that put one of the leader's kids in a role he hadnt earned?

I hope you can find a new one soon, Fargon. It sucks to stay where you're unappreciated and disregarded.

Well done, Ortho!
And Fargon, I too hope you find another church where you're appreciated and which sustains you.

Not upsetting me per se, but upsetting my stomach:

Dinner included fried eggs, and Mr. Clod pulled out the trusty bottle of Sriracha (aka rooster sauce) from the fridge. I thought it sounded like a good idea so I used some as well. Almost immediately my stomach began cramping, so I looked at the expiration date on the bottle.

August of 2008. Fucking hell, are you kidding me? Obviously we don't use the damn stuff as often as I thought we did.

Yikes. Hard to imagine what would grow in hot chili sauce, but then there's a bacterium for every occasion ...

More bad news arrived just as I was getting over a prolonged depression caused by a bad winter, bad job and two grandparent deaths. My grandfather (last living grandparent) is in the last throes of life.

I'm going to finish a knife for him. He doesn't understand what I do for a living, so I want him to see something I made that he will appreciate. I haven't been in the shop for ages, so I'm kind of going crazy and aghast at how crapped up I've let everything get.*

*= Yeah. Classicman, I realize I still owe you a knife. I'm sorry it's taking so long.

No worries - You got enough on your plate.
Hang in there.

*hugs perry*

My brothel of a house is upsetting me today. I've done no housework aside from washing for the last few weeks, so the floors and all the surfaces are disgusting and cluttered with toys and other stuff that has a proper place to be.

It all ends right here, right now!

See ya later when my house is straighter!

I'm thinking that "brothel" in Australian doesn't mean what it means in the US...
