Minor victory thread

After being passed out sick for the last three days, finally being able to take a shower makes me so happy. Ahhh, it feels so nice to be squeaky clean.
 
I received a message from someone I didn't recognize on Facebook which said "Hey, you're the Scratchbuilt 40k guy!" It was a little weird to be recognized on FB by someone from the Dallas/FW area, but it was super cool as well. Fella was super nice and we had a good conversation.

It's like being a little famous in my little corner of the internet :D

Who are you again?

I keed, I keed. Just gotta keep you humble, otherwise your internet fame will run away with you.
 
My parents are home. Despite getting sick while on vacation, and being quarantined to their room for a day or two, my mom said they enjoyed themselves. I talked to her about my cousin having information that I didn't. They had a conversation about the cruise in passing and it turned out that my cousin had taken the same cruise on the same ship. My mom also said she felt bad on her end because she knew I didn't have any info about the cruise line or ship and only a vague itinerary. So we agreed that before she and my dad go on another adventure I would get some basic info from her.
 
You know, @Emrys, I found a picture of a ferret sleeping today. I was going to post it for you since it was so cute. Now you can go suck an egg. :p

(And, yes, their curfew is now 10pm on weekdays. LOL)
 
My friend arranged to have boudoir photo shooting sessions at her house today for Valentine's day gifts, and without even knowing what is going on, my husband did all the right things to make me feel sexy this morning. Bring it on camera!

Found out Friday that I've been selected to direct for my college's 8th annual Evening of Shorts. Being a writer, and a director for another script, means I can't act this year, but I'm excited for a chance to direct. If this goes well, I'll put it in Epic Win, but for right now I'm still nervous and feeling in over my head.
 
I don't know how familiar any of you are with how movies arrive now that film is gone but instead of arriving on big reel cans, they now show up on a hard drive that then gets ingested into a central computer and distributed to the appropriate theatres. Anyway, we have Robocop opening today, Monday I went to ingest the drive and instead of having Robocop on it it had Delivery Man.

I panic and email our distributor, who tells me I have to call their distributor for Canada. Monday was Family Day, so everywhere was closed but us and no answer from them. Called again yesterday and finally got through and a new drive sent out, set to arrive today. Luckily it did, but all this could have been avoided by checking the drive before sending it.

"ingested" is the best term for this... ever. I am going to start using it in reference to hard drives.

Skip to the light bulb (about 4:15). That's the sound I hear whenever I hear the word "ingest," as clear in my mind as the day I saw it first broadcast.

Was feeling crushed by all the pending, pending, pendings I haven't been able to get to because of weather and day after day without time off work. So finally get a break to do a big grocery run, a haircut, and refresh prescriptions.

AND, got the state inspection for the car out of the way. Been dreading that because big car repairs would annihilate the budget. All was well. Total bill: $12.66

I still have cable and phone due, but payday is Friday, and there's still a healthy chunk from last payday still left. I may just squeak by after all. :)
 
It's probably because you couldn't go anywhere while the snow dumped on you (and me, and most of the rest of the United States - except for Wasabi Poptart).

Please, in the name of all that is holy, send us your snow and rain! Please! We beg of you!
 
Considering I've had 2 herniated discs so far, I finally started back school - 2x2h of physiotherapy and exercises and whatnot a week. Oww my back hurts right now. Four more months, minimum....*sigh*
But hey, I'm finally doing something about my pain, so if all goes well, I may actually be able to lift stuff over 20 pounds again!
