So, I'm on vacation. We drove around my area to buy dvds because I love to own shows and movies. I spent a staggering 333 bucks on various tv shows and movies! I was stunned and a little offput but Mr man says

"Check amazon to see how much you would have spent." said in wise man voice.

I did and what I found was I spent 333 bucks on dvds that would have cost 1,500 bucks!
Holy moly what the f is amazon charging so much for this stuff.

Best deal West Wing complete series 40 buck same one on amazon 350 bucks.

Anyways, I had fun and that's what matters most.

Sad news. My son's bearded dragon has passed. He most likely died of old age. My son is very upset. This is my favorite pic of them.

I am so proud of my son. He has posted a Minecraft video

So here I am now at dreamwidth. I should post more but I never seem to and then I can't think of anything to post about. I haven't written but man has and I am so hoping that man's book is going to do well enough for me to not have to work any more because job is boring. Not saying where job is but retail...

I just spent a few weeks to trying to get my Macbook to talk to an external monitor. It will but the monitor goes to sleep and nothing happens and it's frustrating because I have NO money to fix this and maybe I should just move on and find a different solution ( I sort of did but it's kind of weird and involves another Macbook that has no lid and no screen because the screen no longer works but the Macbook works and it works with the external monitor and it's frustrating because usually I can solve these electronic things and I'm pretty good at this stuff but not this time.

deep breath.

I am not going to give up.

I guess I'm still here. Work is not that fun. It's okay every other day.

Mr. Man has finished his draft of his novel. We hope to get it out by this summer.

I'm tired all the time. My bones ache and my body wants to give up.

December Hard to believe so much time has gone. It seems like yesterday I was here posting stories yet I haven't written in a long time and it does make me sad, but I have no inspiration these days. Too tired to do much of anything.

I hope everyone had a good year and such.

Still looking for a job. I've applied to so many at this point. There's so many other people looking that I don't know how long it will be before someone gives me a chance.

I foolishly sighed up for deancasbigbang. I have no ideas, no clue where to find a beta these says and haven't written anything in so long, I'm not ever sure if I can at this point, but I'm trying. I've been trying to write for the past three weeks, trying to get back into the swing of things.

Finished Justified. Love Tim. He's adorable. Also finished Mindy Project, Major Crimes, The Fosters, and Daredevil S2 which I loved.

Love my "interwebs". I'd give up everything else for you.

So, I'm still here. I haven't been up to much fandom related activities, but I hope to change that this year because job hunting is driving me up the wall. My sanity is in question, but in the mean time, I plan to write. I need something to keep me sane and nothing is working these days.

I've been watching show most times on Netflix because cables is too expensive.

Shows I have watched over the past year are House MD, Glee, White Collar, Law & Order:SVU only after season 12, Suits, Grey's Anatomy, Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Mindy Project, and I found that I really like medical dramas and police shows. I kind of fell off the Supernatural train, but I plan to watch once it hits the Netflix. I still love all the boys. I love new boys too.

I need to stop procrastination and do something productive, or sane. Maybe both.

IN THE RAIN

Hello

It feels like it's been a long time since I last posted. I've been laying low. Fandom seems almost all but over for me. I thought if I signed up for jd_ficathon, I could get back into a bit of fandom stuff. So I'm trying to write. I haven't written in a long time. Over a year. I'm in need of a beta for a Stargate SG1 story. Jack/Daniel. not sure yet what rating. So far it's just a G as nothing untoward has happened, but that may change. Sort of just letting the story take me where it goes. I'm hoping someone can help. It's most likely just a few thousand words in length. If anyone is interested in helping me out, that would be awesome.

On the personal side of things, I've now been out of work for over a year and it's not easy. Very stressing and depressing. Second guessing every choice I make these days, but trying to keep my head above water. At least we got a new vehicle. We got very lucky on that front. I think. I don't want to jinx it, but it's nice to at least have peace of mind about one thing in our lives.

This new keyboard is killing me.

On another note I hate when I use up hours of my time to figure some computer thing out. Old laptop not the new one, but I am considering taking the old one apart just for the experience.

I'm sick. My head hurts and my stomach hurts and I'm sick but I have this new laptop which is cool, but I'm sick.

So here I am trying to make a effort to log my life.

I made a plan for my son's schooling. I always have a plan but things have been a bit tough for both of us with me home all the time. I decided to create a firm schedule and I'm hoping that we stick to it this time. *cross fingers*

We also did our first workout, another thing I have trouble sticking to. With less active comes more body weightage.

School today consisted of Math - functions, Computers - codecademy. A great site that teaches how to code.

In other news, I love my kobo ereader. I used to sell them at work and never thought that I would get one but I decided to treat myself on my birthday last year. It rocks! I have WAY to many books to read at this point. All my sources are so filled with books, I could read 24/7 and not still finish them all. Not to mention all the books I purchased when I was working at the bookstore.

I also use this great site called Netgalley and obtain advanced reading copies which I don't always have the time to read, I'm ashamed to say.

I've also been rewatching Stargate Atlantis. Just started S4. Adore that show. Rodney and John are so adorable together and Ronon is so yummy.

I don't really have much time for fandom anymore. I tried to carve out writing time at first, but that didn't work out and I'm blocked for what to write these days due to stresses in my life.

It's been almost a year since I last posted. I was let go at work back in the spring. I've mostly been teaching my son. Grade 11 science with computers mostly. He loves computers and anything to do with programming. I'm hoping that he will eventually do something with this love.

I try to read but haven't managed to finish many books in the past year. I think maybe only 4 or 5 last year. I still watch Supernatural and enjoy it some of the time. Not much else. Just mostly hanging until ... something not sure what.
