It's Friday!
Technically it's Saturday now. Oh well.
Spent all day with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
owldaughter in a pretty productive writing jam. I wrote a bit about it in secret_history so I won't go into it here, but let's just say it went very well indeed and industrial quantities of tea were consumed. I also snagged myself some more Amelia Peabody and Jane Austen mysteries. I am a happy camper.
Went to my dance club afterward, where I met up withmiseri who was kind enough to lend me a few copies of the Alfred Hitchock Mystery Magazine and the Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. He left early, and I ended up only staying until about 11:30 or so, since I was hit with a massive anvil of tired.
Skippy (one of the members of my club) and I have finally, we think, mastered this dance that was giving us trouble. It's a fun little dance, with a "windmill" step (basically it's a half-turn shuffle, but instead of keeping your arms either at shoulder or waist level, you raise them over your head in a windmill motion) and some tricky little steps in the middle that it took us forever to figure out. However, tonight we conquered it, and it was fun.
Tomorrow there will be band practice, and then I've agreed to drivemiseri to IKEA after to get a wardrobe. He's moving on Sunday, and has nowhere to put his clothes. After IKEA, depending on how much time I have left over, there will be chili, and then I'm off to my club again for a special event.
I wasn't going to go to the special event, actually, given the state of my finances. See, it costs $15 to get in (not counting drinks and whatnot) and, well, I just don't have that kind of money these days. However, my friend C from the club, upon learning that $15 was all that was standing between me and the special event, informed me that he was going to buy a ticket for me and that I had no choice whatsoever in the matter. :)
Have I mentioned that my friends rock? Even the ones you all don't know. If there's one thing I can pride myself on, it's my excellent choice of friends.
Sunday will be spent continuing my cleaning spree. I haven't come close to finishing yet, but I am making headway, slowly but surely. I shall also make chili, if I don't have time tomorrow.
As you may have noticed, I am still connected to the internet. I managed to get Bell Canada the minimal amount of money it would take to not get all my services cut. Go me!
I have decided to get rid of the car when the lease expires in August. I realized I was just being stubborn about it, and when that realization hit I actually felt relieved. The car was, like I said before, a huge damn financial albatross, and while it was useful while I had it, I don't think it's worth the massive amounts of stress it generated for me.
So, as of August 31st, the car goes bye-bye.
More as events unfold. ;)
Good night!
