Extra Boring!

holytoastrSome things are exploding at work. I think I am finally too dead to care. I decided not to worry about it and to just focus on the things I can deal with. Lots of work got done this morning that way. It was pleasant.
Yesterday was productive too. In the morning, I built a hairpin lace loom to make my pretty dress. It was pretty easy to do once I realized I could substitute the prongs with knitting needles. I designed it so it can go at small at 1 inch and as wide as 6 inches. The pattern calls for 5-6 inches, so that's about perfect for what I need.
After that, I practiced using the loom with junky yarn. I'm glad I did. It took some time to get used to the movement. Once I did get used to it though, it was very easy. I don't think this dress will be too hard at all.
When ben woke up, he helped me set up my grow lamp. Hopefully this will give my seeds a better chance at life. In the past, they have always gotten very stringy from lack of sun in the apartment, and then they'd fall over and die.
Lettuce is the first to go under the lamp, according to my handy grow chart. I planted about 16 seeds in 4 cups. I'll thin them out once they start growing. Tomatoes need to me started next weekend I think. And cucumbers a bit after that. Then I will have tasty fresh salads all summer. Hopefully.
In the afternoon, the verizon guy actually showed up. And totally pegged ben and I as geeks. Which is probably good cause we were then actually able to get what we wanted.
Noname fiercely barked at the guy until she was able to sniff his hand. Then it was like he had always been there. Some guard dog.
In the evening, we watched tv. Dexter, Dollhouse, Terminator, and H20 Just Add Water.
Ben's sleep schedule is all messed up, plus he wasn't feeling well, so we went to bed early. That was a bad idea though cause we woke up again at 1am. Yuck. I did eventually fall back asleep but it was hard.
Noname makes adorable noises when she dreams.
And now back to work. I am hungry. I didn't have time for breakfast this morning. And I forgot to pack a lunch. I have emergency breakfast at my desk, which I'm trying to save for lunch. Otherwise I'll just get hungry again. One more hour. I can do it.
