Sunday: Off from his mom to look at house for my mom. Went to Florence, which was certifiably eh. Got to house to look at, car locked itself with my keys in it. $50 later a locksmith let me in, and just when he showed up a neighbor came over to get a flyer and told us we should have knocked on his door because he has a slim jim. F**k. Car is not supposed to lock itself. It does randomly, yet another reason I hate my car. Went to Barnes and Noble to decompress, got tea and spent some time writing on computer. J had a lousy day with mom, so day was a whole lot of suck for both of us.
Monday: Work, cool major project for week that I am very excited about. Knitting ok, stayed until almost midnight talking to T, inadvertantly scared a friend due to bizarre circumstances.
Tuesday: Weird encounter with homeless woman. Slightly surreal. Plans for evening predictably got changed. Wound up watching GLEE, going for long walk in the wind, watched lighting storm, came home and had dinner.
Wednesday: Usual Bridge Street walk, meet J for dog grooming, light house cleaning in prep for Mom.
Thursday: Kinsey Sicks! Dragapella Beautyshop Quartet at Merrimack Hall. Should be a riot, can't wait.
Friday: Mom arrives.
Saturday: Mom meets Alabama. Alabama meets Mom.
Sunday: Moms meet. I predict J and I will be mentally curled up in little balls of whimper by 4pm.

Week in review
Ok, let's see....highlights.....once again, my agenda seems to involve copious amounts of friends and yarn. And finally getting smart enough to put this week's go-to music on one disc rather than flipping through several in the car.
Sunday: I think I found a house for my mom. Hell, if I was looking for a house for me, I'd love this house.
Monday: knit night
Tuesday: Glee. Hearbreaking. Music was eh, acting was outstanding, poor Jaspher was subjected to me jumping and screaming at the TV when one of the songs happened. He found it quite amusing. Not so sure the neighbors did.
Wednesday: went walking, went to Starbucks with Jaspher, B, A, had a most fun evening. Didn't get much knitting done, but good conversation.
Thursday: got to do a walk-through of a local haunted house, Disturbia. It is going to be FREAKIN' AWESOME! Went walking (I do a lot of that-I think Bridge Street wonders who the crazy walking guy is), watched very bizarre episodes of CSI and Mentalist. Malcolm McDowell was on Mentalist and he is still just as strange and creepy as he was in A Clockwork Orange, quite possibly one of the most disturbing movies ever. Warped the loom, hit some sort of strange time war and knocked out a project really fast, almost finished in record time.
Friday: Got to work at the local Haunted Corn Maze. Pretty fun, fairly calm except for the random guy running around chasing people with a chainsaw, and woman who totally cheated during our TV station contest and fleeced us out of a crapton of prizes. But we decided not to raise a fuss, which I think was very smart because at least a few of the people with her were stinking drunk. And about to go running around in a haunted corn maze in the dark. And there was a ton of teenagers there. And people wonder why I don't want to go in the maze. Way too much concentrated stupid.
Today: Artists Market (good day), Candlelight Vigil to remember the GLBT youth who have committed suicide after being bullied and tormented. Very nice ceremony, very nice local news coverage. Readied Mom Room for her visit. Currently eating sugared cereal and drinking tea.
Tomorrow: Day off from one mom to go house shopping for other mom. Will probably decompress at BN. There is an Anthony Bourdain book I am trying to finish.

And the week rolls on
Monday: Got stuff accomplished at work with minimum of cussing, got to bank and post office, day was flake-free, went on a nice long walk, got a minimum of knitting done but got some good talk time with friends. Got scolded because apparently a blueberry scone is not dinner. It has bread and fruit and probably milk in it. Not made of suck. I ended the day on a happy camper note. Insomnia improving, was asleep before 1AM.
Tuesday: Got graphics to work the way I wanted them to, a whole bunch, which always makes me happy. My best days are when I get to spent the bulk of the day being creative. Sad day for a good friend, tho. Keeping V and her family in my thoughts. Watched amazing episode of GLEE, although a little too much music, and a song I love was given to totally the wrong person. Once again, Chris Colfer is an AMAZING actor. Loved Matthew Morrison (Will Shuester) also. He walked a difficult tightrope, keeping peace and legality regarding religion in a room full of teenagers in a public school. I have been there, done that and it is damn hard, especially when there is someone evil staring over your shoulder. Had one of those also. Did not get loom warped. but I guess I can do that tomorrow. I am damn tired, which is a good thing. Need to go to bed. I know I had something else pithy and intelligent to say but damned if I can remember it now. Today was again not made of suck or win, but I'd say the scales were balanced towards win.

This week's predictions
Today-started good, went to pretty damn cool, ending at pretty much suckage. Had a yummy cookie, found a potential house for my mom, got a speed-knit scarf done.
Monday-work should be ok. Evening, we'll see. I am predicting major suck by 7pm to be replaced by pretty cool.
Tuesday-see Monday.
Wednesday-either dog grooming, which will mean lots of driving and grumpy puppies and humans, or Starbucks, which will mean happy caffeinated humans. Low chances of sucky day.
Thursday-If the dogs have not been groomed yet, they get to go then. High chance of major suckage.
Friday-I think I must be the only person who does not look forward to Fridays. and they have a high likelihood of going to shit.
Saturday-Flying Monkey, Candle Light Vigil to take a stand against the bullying of young people for their perceived sexual orientation and gender identity, and to remember the young people who have taken their lives after being subjected to this cruelty.

Week Passing
Friday: Not made of suck. Good day overall. Got some really nice graphics done, although one critic was baffled, which is what I get for asking the opinion of someone with OCD who thinks too much. Made it to notary, post office, and courthouse offices in under an hour. Went for a long walk in the lovely lovely fall weather, has a great visit with B, went for another long stroll while I got to listen to B's half of a phone call. Stepped outside of my comfort zone on two occasions, once I got over being utterly terrified of doing so. Was pleased with the outcomes.
Today: Mad dash through small town street fair. Got some swell free stuff, did not take any candy or water from Republicans or church groups. Went to weekly Artists Market I show/work at and did ok today. Got hair cut so I no longer look like a shaggy dog in a not-so-cute way, got 15 pairs of my favorite knitting needles for $15, ate a quesadilla, my version of a grilled cheese sandwich which I eat when I can't think of anything more creative to feed myself.
Tomorrow: looking at houses for my mom.
