My rainy day craft box

Just got the car home. And I owe zombiecowboy a beer for being right: it was the battery all along. Actually it's just one of many, many beers that I owe him. But out of all those myriad beers one shall be set aside and designated "battery." I'll write it on the label with big black sharpie pen and everything.

Due to a schedule change to accommodate an employee's wedding, I wound up having today off. In this day the following happened:

-Got my wife's car licensed and sales taxes paid.

-Finished reading a very good book. (Fallen by Tim Lebbon. If you like dark fantasy check it out.)

-In World of Warcraft completed Blackrock Depths, (one of the largest dungeons in the game.) And got not one but TWO epic items. (Items so rare you could run the dungeon dozens of times and never see one; two is almost unheard of.)

I've had a great deal of stress in my life lately and it's great to finally have a day of just non-stop awesome. Never take such days for granted. If you can get one, appreciate the hell out of it!

Twelve hours of overtime on this paycheck. I am pleased about this. It's one of the few things that have gone right today. I have been tense for the last sixteen hours and now it's just left me exhausted... but still tense.

Got a letter from the Toyota dealership today saying "Our records indicate your 2003 Echo may be due for regular service." Um... gee. ya THINK? Considering how the last time I saw it the front end was smashed to smithereens I think YEAH it probably needs some service! Morons. I hate being reminded of the car I lost.

But in the midst of feeling drained and frustrated I need to make a point to say special congratulations to blkhamster on the birth of her daughter Zoe. She sent out the photos today and that child is just adorable. Yes, all babies are theoretically adorable, but they all look the same to me. (*spreads legs* See? NO UTERUS! That means I could give a damn about how cute babies are!) So when I say a baby is adorable it must REALLY be adorable. Hope to see you back on LJ soon, girl.
