I have a little list, I have a little list

Things done so far today:

1) Got up @ 9:30 am.
2) Went to the Millennium Library to return books. Got out a new book called Composing Magic: How to Create Magical Spells, Rituals, Blessings, Chants, and Prayers by Elizabeth Barrette.
3) Went to Manitoba Hydro to pay our electric bill.
4) Went to Warehouse One and picked up a pair of jeans (desperately needed). They no longer have the black 1980's-style jeans that I loved so much, but I made do.
5) Went to Shoppers Drug Mart in Portage Place and picked up mailing supplies for all those New Years gifts I have yet to send out. Hopefully I can get them mailed tomorrow.
6) Went to Staples for printer paper and a 2008 datebook.
7) Went to Don's Photo where I was able to pick up a Roots camera case for $10 (regular $15) for our digital camera.
8) Went to the Bay, where I picked up a pair of sweatpants for $6, a bunch of stocking stuffers to go with the gifts I'm mailing out, two packs of shortbread from Scotland for George, and a roll of Christmas paper for cheap-cheap-cheap. I didn't have any luck finding a roast in their Grocerteria, though; I'll have to pick one up at FoodFare tomorrow.
9) Took the bus back to my end of town; stopped at Subway for a roast turkey sub and then at Starbucks for a sugar-free gingerbread latte.
10) Came home. Ate sub. Am drinking the latte and wearing the sweatpants (mucho comfy). Must now resume work on the first third of the current HB graphic novel, which is supposed to be in today.

Oh, and 10.5) Left my keys in the mailbox downstairs; eastpath happened to see them and returned them to me. D'oh.

I feel accomplished, yet depression is gnawing at the edges of my mind. At least I won't have to do anything tomorrow unless I feel up to it. I really had to push myself to get through everything on the list today. I'm glad now that I did.

Daemon Quiz

I'm finished the first third of the thirteenth HB graphic novel, so it's time for a bit of fun, I think. Gacked from nightdog_barks.

( You'll never guess what my Daemon is... I certainly didn't )

Goin' down, down, down

I spent all this evening preparing the stuff that I'm sending out to my friends in the States (you know who you are) and addressing the packages. Hopefully they like what I'm sending.

Doubt and depression are eating away at the edges of me like acid. George has been asleep since 4 pm, so I've been alone, which hasn't helped matters any.

The rice is done in the rice cooker and I've put on coffee for him; he should be getting up any minute, at which point we'll cook up some hamburger patties and mixed veg. I have no appetite, but I know that I have to keep eating or I'll only make things worse.

Tomorrow... I'm not sure what I'll do. Get those packages mailed out, definitely. Whether I'll have the juice to also go out to Pet Value and get more food for Mina (Eukanuba Chicken & Rice Adult Formula hard food) is a different matter. Perhaps I can prevail upon George to do it for me, but I doubt it. He'll be working all night and into the morning, and will be pretty much non compos mentis by late morning.

Oh, and I have a murderous backache. Started a couple of hours ago. Hope it's nothing serious.

I can hear George out in the hallway. Dinner, and then bed.
