TPBM
Well I am re-doing math starting from 1st grade so it might be a while, but yes I will be glad in the end. I hope.TPBM has a country estate?
Only in my mind.TPBM has been a guest to people who own a multi-million dollar house.
Well, I got one for free that is very interesting and by one of my favourite authors, Raymond Smullyan. I would like to finish reading Who Knows?: A Study in Religious Consciousness.TPBM has been so busy today that it is now time to go for a quick shower.
Well, ambivalent, perhaps. Mostly good, though, as the sun is shining today, which for us on the wet coast is rare thing. To have a a bad day over a minor tempest would be dishonouring that sunshine.TPBM has a hard time, sometimes, distinguishing between big and little tempests.
Third.TPBM hasn’t gotten all the clothes washed and pressed.
I don't have to do that so no.TPBM is doing family stuff.
It's okay.TPBM is taking the Scrivener tutorial.
I'm not sure what that is? It is a class of some kind?TPBM bank account is depleted from Christmas?
Nope. Not this year. But last year was pretty... bad.TPBM hates being sick and now can't sing.
I can sing but I do hate being sick.TPBM has to write a resume for English. :(
No, but I am curious about the 'have to' part. Are you applying to graduate school?TPBM finds great comfort in tickling the chin of a standoffish cat.
What plans? I'm still on vacation!!! XDTPBM woke up with a killer migraine and horrible nausea this morning.
Actually, it's not freezing at all.TPBM is watching The Next Great Baker.

No, not graduate school just an assignment.
Is that the sequel to The Fabulous Baker Boys?

Sounds like a great show, but I haven't seen it.
TPBM is planning a vacation?
No.TPBM was going to write a poem this week....
Yep!!!However, TPBM ended up NOT writing a poem...
Nope!!!TPBM wishes they had new boots.
Now that is fushigi funny! I just posted my story, and in the penultimate paragraph the protagonist looks down at her ruined safety boots!TPBM is vey happy that they got their story done this week!
LoL! I just walked up from the kitchen with a cup of tea, so YES!TPBM has a hankering for a left over Christmas cookie to have with their tea.
I am - green tea, no peach. And I have a chocolate dipped espresso short bread cookie to dip it in.TPBM was surprisingly entertained by Shakespeare on film today.
Haven't watched anything today on t.v.TPBM didn't sleep well.
Did somebody have bad dreams?TPBM wishes there were a Starbuck’s in town.
There is one in town. No wishing here. No, not a bad dream, I just kept waking up. Tossed and turned most the night.TPBM is sad they didn't get to sleep in.
I’m mostly happy that I didn’t have to iron clothes this morning. I love that about weekends! Right now I’m enjoying the first cup of coffee and checking my Internet trotlines.TPBM has a new novel brewing in her head.
Yes. Well it's not exactly new. I had the idea last year but I'd forgotten about it until a few days ago. I'm going to have to get some books....TPBM is planning on writing a poem this week.
Yes! I had planned to write one last week, and I don’t know where the week went.TPBM thinks writing haiku verses is fun!
Nooooooooooooooooooo . . . !TPBM needs to go make another pot of coffee.
I don't drink coffee. So no.TPBM is watching their sister prepare dinner.
True. I knew I had forgotten something!TPBM likes tortellini.
Well, I have had my car towed twice. Does that count towards the count?TPBM is debating, right now, whether or not the headache is bad enough to ingest 2 extra strength aspirins.
That sounds nice. Probably what I will do with my evening, but I got to make dinner first.TPBM likes Beef Jerky?
Yes.TPBM is waiting for Switched at Birth to come on.
Laundry done, trousers clean, socks pressed. Set to go.TPBM thinks that ironing underwear with starch is somewhat unnecessary.
I’ve starched and ironed pajamas, but never underwear.TPBM prefers conservatively striped pajamas.
More of a solid colour kind of guy,TPBM prefers cotton PJ's to man-made fibres.
Yep, have to say I do.TPBM has put on poka dot PJ's?
Only in my dreams. TPBM is about to read last week's stories before voting.
I’m still on the week before last.TPBM likes coffee without cream or sugar, the same way they like poems and stories.
Nah, I like poems and stories more.TPBM has to clean a bathroom today.
A hesitant no. I am a little concerned to ask — why have to? Did something unpleasant occur recently? Or is it the opposite, and OCD compulsion that mandates the cleaning?TPBM really enjoys house cleaning in general.
No, I hate it. I have to clean a bathroom because my grandmother is coming to stay tomorrow and we can't clean it when she's here. The cleaners make her sick.TPBM is looking forward to reading today.
That's kind of like saying I'm looking forward to breathing!TPBM has decided to read something that they picked up at random from their library.
Well, I didn't get it randomly but it is from the library.TPBM is going to read Wuthering Heights.
