thistlechaserMan, skip a morning of reading LJ, and you all go chatty on me! Also, unhappily, S2 doesn't seem to support color-coding on your friends page? You know, where you make one person's post have this color next to them, and another person get some other color? Makes it much, much harder to skim (I want to skim communities and read individual people, the colors helped in that). Will have to read more FAQ files tonight, maybe there's a setting for that... Bah. *kicks LJ*
Work is insanely damned busy, and more just keeps getting piled onto me. Sooner or later it won't be a matter of me quitting or not, I'll just be crushed under it all and end up dead. "Splat!" as we say.
Almost a year after buying the mini-tree (3-4 feet tall, maybe?) and about eight or so months after blooming, my orange tree's three oranges are finally turning orange! At the moment they're greenish-yellow, but there's no question they're on their way towards orange! They're smaller than I thought they'd be, but I still feel like a proud mama! I just wonder if I'll be able to eat them or not. I never used spray on them or any anti-bug stuff at all. If I open one up and it's full of squirmy, icky, evil worms, I'll kill my tree with a kitchen knife. Hack! Hack! Hack! (Okay, maybe I won't really. Because 1) I didn't buy it to eat the oranges, I just like watching them grow, and 2) If I tried to do anything with a kitchen knife, I'd end up cutting off my own hand or foot or something.)
(I'm writing this update as I read my friends page, thus it's getting long even though I claim to be insanely busy.) I need to do some defriending. I have almost no time to read fics, so I should lose the various recs communities. I'm pondering offing HP_dungeons as well, as Snape's is the only one I really read now that Percy is gone/on break, and even then I only read Snape's if I've got lots of time. (Sorry to any members who are reading this.) Don't know where else to cut...
