Apr. 27th, 2003 10:58 pmIt's been a good weekend. Right this moment, I'm in an incredible amount of pain, physically worn... and emotionally buoyant. I've had a wonderful time, and know I'm gonna pay dearly for it, but... it was worth it.
Today's my birthday. A day that's typically been one of angst, depression, and copious consumption of alcohol. This year, however, some friends hit me with a little surprise; Sapphi, whom I've considered a sister for nearly a decade, flew in from down south and spent the weekend with me. Hobbes came up on Sunday for a bit. My Mom, who picked a fight with me Friday morning, was civil and decent when she was here today. Her gift to me was a receipt: one for my nearly $43 of library fines, paid in full. And though Smokie tried to hook up with us, things just didn't work out. Hopefully it'll work a bit smoother next time.
I've had a really good weekend. While she was here, Sapphi covered the cost of the processor I needed to build Megan's new machine. At its heart is a shiny new Celeron 533... a definite improvement from the AMD K6-400 and the old Socket 7 mainboard. And yesterday, while Sapphi and I sat and chattered happily with each other, I assembled the machine and got the operating system installed. Once the NIC is working, it's ready to go. And when the files are all transfered over, I can put the dinosaur case in a corner somewhere and forget about it. :p
And when I found out Friday evening that she was coming, I managed to dig out the entire living room in one big burst (slept like the dead Friday night). So that sorted out too. :) And on a completely unrelated note, Gus and Kweepie are both utterly adorable.
Squeeee! :)
( Lemmings! Wheeee! )
Anyway, that's it from me.
*hugs and cuddles*
