something has to go right at some point

floatingleafMission accomplished. Dad's car has been returned to its proper location. It gave me quite a scare by refusing to start at first... but after several attempts the engine grudgingly came to life.;) And I came up with a brilliant solution of coming back home by train & bus - so my mom only had to drive me to the neareast train station, instead of all the way to the city. Which was a great relief for her, since she is starting a new job tonight (as overnight caretaker for some very old lady in another suburb). Fortunately for me, both the train and the subsequent bus arrived promptly, so I didn't completely freeze my ass off.:)
Damn, but it is COLD (5F/-15C right now, supposed to get even colder during the night). Thank heavens for hot chicken stew and even hotter tea.:) And my heating pad (the neck is killing me something fierce - I'm counting the days till my next acupuncture appointment on the 9th). The lure of the papasan chair seems quite irresistible right now... so I think I'm going to pop in my other Netflix DVD (I have two right now, because there was a delay in sending the next one in my queue, so they sent me another one - and then the delayed one arrived about two days later). Mmmmm... good times.:D
Yes, I do believe I have already said before that I must have been a hobbit in another lifetime. I am almost of the proper height... and don't forget the curly hair.;) I would be rather skinny for a hobbit lady, though - not that it's a problem, mind you. I am actually surprised I didn't gain weight over the holidays. Must have been all the stress and/or the cold, because I definitely wasn't doing any calorie counting. Who would bother with that?... Not a hobbit lady, for sure.:P
Oh, I also managed to clean the apartment this morning. I feel very proud of myself.;) Now I believe LJ has a lot of holiday season fic to catch up on. *rubs hands together*
What on earth made me so pointlessly chatty these days? *headshake* Enough of that blabber. It's movie time. Also, more hot tea. Gingerbread spice, I think. With milk and honey. Yes, that sounds just about perfect. *shuts up*

Happy movie time! :D

Just a little bit.;) I won't complain if life decides to return to normal for a while.:P
