Someone from HAND is supposed to come by this afternoon for some cleaning assistance... this is a pinch-hitter, not someone permanent. But it should be a help.

UPS is delivering my package from ThinkGeek (my 2009 calendar and a steampunk-skeleton shirt) today also. When those two events are over, I need to go downtown and get copies of some paperwork and mail it to the lawyer I talked to at Advocacy Inc. While I'm out I'll be dropping off a package for [info]arcaneblades. The part of downtown I'll be in isn't really known for stores, which precludes retail therapy... well, we'll see how early I'm able to get downtown.

Speaking of buying things, BPAL's Butter Rum Cookie goes plasticy on me :( I am glad I only got an imp's worth from a decant circle... and Gelt, which I did get a bottle of, is wonderful on me.

I wish I could just take some valium and sleep. But I have the HAND woman, UPS, and the copying/mailing to do. So instead I have cocoa. It will be a day of mush cocoa.

Here's my astrology chart:

As you can see, I'm very, very Libra. I don't know enough about astrology to know if it means anything that Saturn was retrograde when I was born. At least it wasn't Mercury.

One of HAND's "specials" (as in, not an attendant permanently assigned to one person) came in for three hours today and she did an amazing job. If the manager still gives me grief after this, she seriously has to have it in for me. Patricia (the woman who helped me today) said it wasn't all that bad, too. Right now it looks awesome.

Gonna let the copying/mail run wait until tomorrow; it's cold now and tomorrow is supposed to be warmer. I was initially planning to do it tomorrow anyhow.

I don't feel off-the-hook yet, but I do feel calmer. And hungry. I've got a Schwans spinach and mushroom pizza cooking.

So, relief over having a clean apartment turned into a sleepy collapse, which was good I guess. After a couple of hours of actually restful sleep, I stirred to answer the phone; turned out to be [info]doombuggie offering me a ride to the store. Yes please!

Well, I'm glad I resisted the temptation to order pizza, because I dropped $70 on groceries! But that included a huge sack of catfood, a thing of kitty litter, quality juice, sausage, potatoes, and a bunch of other stuff, including a thing of cupcakes because I haven't had cupcakes in a few months and I really like them. It took me four trips to get it all up the stairs and I had to sit down and rest before I could put it all away! When I spend that much on groceries I at least get a lot of stuff.

But between the dust from cleaning earlier today (I amost puked from coughing, I felt so stupid) and the wheezing from carrying four armloads of groceries upstairs, I am wheezing my lungs off. Maybe I will fix myself some mint tea to go with a cupcake in a little bit.

Thanks again for taking me to the store, bro. I seriously appreciate it. It makes my life so much easier, and shopping with someone truly is much nicer. It turns a chore into an outing to have pleasant company.
