  • I worked my last shift at the video store! Marg came to visit me and bought me a lovely bunch of irises. The boss gave me a DVD and a hug. Mainly, I’m just so happy and relieved to be out of there.
  • Matt messaged me about one of the CDs I sent him: “where has this album been all my life?!”
  • Vietnamese dinner with the parents.

  • working at the bookstore. We got a massive delivery yesterday after I had finished, spent most of the afternoon happily sorting through the stock and shelving it all. Lots of customers as well, including a very chatty, very attractive Norwegian boy.
  • coming home, having another nap.
  • Matt received my package that I sent him the other day, and he was delighted with it. He called me his muse. :)
  • spent the entire evening cataloging my books on LibraryThing, I’m only part way through my books and have almost reached the 200 book limit, I’m going to have to get a paid account. It’s fun, I have a lot of books that I had forgotten I had bought. Who knew I had so many D.H. Lawrence books! I think I’ve only read a few of his short stories and even then that was for university. Must have got them at a bargain price. One day I’ll get around to them. Anyway, the process is enjoyable, even relaxing.

Woo, 100th day/entry!

  • managing to catch the earlier bus than I expected to, coming home and having a long nap.
