bullet points!

[grinninfoole]

•Ran two Magic tournaments at the store this weekend. Was hoping for 32 people to play today, but only got 29. Still our biggest one yet, and I think everyone had a good time.

•I like the new set, Avacyn Restored. It has a lot of great cards, but I think my favorite is the Conjurer's Closet artifact.

•Feisty still sneezes sometimes, which worries me. I want to take her off the steroids altogether, but I don't want her to get plugged up again. She's nearly 14.

•Put $5000 more into the store, to help start up the New York location. I do hope this works out well.

•I have many balls to juggle, and a couple of them have bounced a bit.
-I need to finish and submit a claim for my dad's long term care insurance. (ughh, it's not the hard intellectually, but very difficult emotionally.)
-I need to fine a contractor to come repair the damage to my house.
-I have some work projects that dangle unfinished.
-My home is getting messy
-I'm not losing weight. I need to make more healthy food, go to Weight Watchers, and exercise. I still want to fit into my tux for Bottledgoose's wedding.
-I want to get some new furniture for my house, which is cash I probably don't have.
-Also, just spent 1300 getting brakes etc. fixed on my POS minivan. Probably more than its worth. Should have just unloaded it.
-I can't tell if I'm scarily obsessive about Grounded or not, because I think about her constantly. Not just every day, but all through the day, whenever my brain slips into neutral.

•Reading the new history of AIDS, Tinderbox, and loving it.

•Great TV: the recent run of Fringe, the season finale of the Good Wife, and the new Avatar series, Legend Of Korra. (Amon is totally a puppet of Ko, the Face-Stealer, hence the mask.) the Awake series is growing on me, too.

Hehehehehehhe <-- is 12


-I need to fine a contractor to come repair the damage to my house.

You aren't gonna get far if you start out by fining them right off the bat. *smirk*


-I'm not losing weight. I need to make more healthy food, go to Weight Watchers, and exercise. I still want to fit into my tux for Bottledgoose's wedding.

That's new. I've never been a motivator for weight loss. Usually I inspire stress-related overeating. :P I still find it kind of amusing that while everyone else tries to diet for a wedding, I'm trying to get back up to double digits to fit into my own dress. I am not okay with walking down the aisle in a size 8.

Reminds me, I still need to PURCHASE the damn thing. bah.

Sounds normal to me. Our brains want to naturally escape to pleasant things/people/scenarios. Now if you were wallpapering your house with pictures of her in the style of Better Off Dead or (insert episode of SVU here), I'd worry, but this sounds more like she's your happy distracting thought and less like crazy super stalker territory.

"•I have many balls to juggle, and a couple of them have bounced a bit.

Well, 12 is a bit young, but when you're older, if you'd like, you can give me a hand with them.

"That's new. I've never been a motivator for weight loss.

Well, to be fair, you have a malfunction in your power train. I've just got a faulty CPU. These affect our eating habits differently.

I hope I'm not too much of a crazy stalker. It's emotionally challenging to embrace these feelings, and remain open to possibilities, while simultaneously not forming expectations about any connection between us. I'd like a life with her, but I have to keep living my life as if that won't happen. Which reminds me to make a call...

But she'll be a spry 14! You've done a great job keeping her so fit and able for so many years.

I can't remember what the vet said at the time. Can she be taken on and off steroids repeatedly as needed? Or would it be better to keep her on them steady if it seems like she relapses? Maybe fewer doses are better and don't interfere with effectiveness if they're given on and off like that?

•Put $5000 more into the store, to help start up the New York location. I do hope this works out well.

Wow, good luck! But Lefty chose a location well and managed it well in the past, so I think it's a fairly safe bet.

-I need to finish and submit a claim for my dad's long term care insurance. (ughh, it's not the hard intellectually, but very difficult emotionally.)

I'm still willing to help with that if you want.

-I need to fine a contractor to come repair the damage to my house.

Ditto.

-My home is getting messy

I think you should hire a cleaning service for a one-time big clean. It'll get you a reset button for the house so that you can start again fresh.
If you have 5,000 to invest in the store, surely you could afford this once?

-I'm not losing weight.

I know this feeling. I am thinking about going back on the strict diet for a while to get myself jumpstarted again, but gah, I'm finding it hard to commit to that again. Really, I think the exercise three times a week was making a big difference too, and I haven't been doing that.

-I can't tell if I'm scarily obsessive about Grounded or not, because I think about her constantly. Not just every day, but all through the day, whenever my brain slips into neutral.

You know, I don't know what to say about that, but I like [Bad username or site: bottledgoose</i @ livejournal.com]'s interpretation. You know, I have been like that over gaming worlds when I was really into them and also BSG at my peak of fangirlishness, if that gives you any reference. But I think there's something to be said that your mind needs to go somewhere in idle moments, right? So maybe it's good and natural that it's going to a pleasant place?

I need to catch up with Fringe.
