Yesterday was an interesting day.  Kind of a mixed bag of good and bad.  I felt like I was put through the ringer for some reason.  By the time I got home, I was toast.

Good stuff - I got a lot of things in the mail that I'd ordered.  My DVD box set of the latest season of Doctor Who (with nifty art cards!), a T-shirt, a scale (Gotham weighs 14.1lbs.... he's not a fat cat, just long and lean.  Really. No, seriously.  Maybe.), a dress for the wedding I'm going to, and a couple of other things.  It was like Christmas, but I paid for everything.  Well some was from gift cards, so it was kinda like Christmas.

Kinda bad - I'm disappointed that the first item to arrive for my big project is too big.  I took accurate measurements and everything, I don't know what happened.  I'm going to call the vendor today and see if they will take it back and send me a smaller one.  Unfortunately, I didn't get it on EBay, so I don't have the threat of negative feedback to toss around. I have a few more things that are supposed to arrive over the next few days, hopefully they'll be right!

Kinda Surreal - I talked to my mom yesterday.  She called to tell me that "24" was being made into a movie.  The thing is, I've never seen a single episode of 24, so she was kinda mad that she made the effort to call and tell me good news and it wasn't something I watch.  She doesn't watch it either though, so I don't know why she was so excited.  I thanked her and everything, but I think she was still annoyed.  We talked for a while about what was going on up at their place and down here and my dad's health and stuff.  Pretty standard phone call.  I think she's still mad at me though. 

I should call my dad.  I always feel like I have a safety net under me after I talk to him.  He's reasonable and gives advice that tells you all sides, but rarely scares you.  Wow, I never thought I'd say THAT.

My uncle is always good to talk to.  As I've mentioned before, he has a unique take on everything.  Plus, whenever I mention something that has either hurt me or upset me, he asks for addresses of who did it.  :-)  I never tell him though.  Just the thought that he's in my corner means a lot to me.

Vasthy, you are always in my thoughts.  I know I've said it already, but if there's anything I can do to help you through this, please let me know.  You have all my numbers and can call any time day or night and I will talk or meet you.  I've got big shoulders to cry on and long arms to give big hugs.  I mean it.

That's about it for now.  Be good to each other.
