Today wasn\u2019t a great day for them. I did get some of the things done, the errands but the most important errand was left too late, the bank was closed earlier than I hoped. I told myself I would get the front page of my site done and uploaded and I have not started that. So bad, bad me.<br>\nI told the guy who isn\u2019t paying the rent that he has to leave. That was a big deal, couldn\u2019t totally get it out of my mind all day. He re-promised (much like regurgitated worms, leaves a bad taste and stinks too) that he would pay. He will catch up for December this week, he\u2019s apparently decided he can skip November and October. I wonder where January fits in for him. Anyway, he also said \u201cit\u2019s not up to you!!!\u201d With \u201cyou\u201d being underlined heavily and all those exclamation points. Now, that just pissed me off. Buddy burned his last bridge when I read that.<\/p>\n<p>I may drive out to see my brother tomorrow, he left a message that he needs some typing and computer set up help. While I\u2019m there I will get official authorization for buddy who wants to continuing ripping us off. Then, I plan to tell buddy he can pack up and get out on the spot. No time to find somewhere else to go, time is up.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I did go to the big Chapters bookstore today when I had my driving around day. So nice to go there and see what\u2019s new in books. I looked at books about drawing (cartoons, manga and drawing in general), writing (though I didn\u2019t see anything new there) and of course every single computer related book. I bought the latest issue of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brokenpencil.com\/\">Broken Pencil<\/a>. It\u2019s their 10th anniversary this issue.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s almost 8:00 and I can spend an hour on CSS and then I will go down to watch Medium on TV. I like Ghost Whisperer on Friday too but Medium is better. Maybe it\u2019s cause she\u2019s not a girl (she\u2019s married with kids) and maybe it\u2019s cause her life just looks more real rather than sugar coated for TV. I didn\u2019t watch it before cause I don\u2019t usually watch horror, especially anything to do with ghosts. But, my Mom got me hooked while she was up here, in the off season for snowbirds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/thatgrrl.com\/site\/index.php\/2006\/kind-of-an-off-day\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permalink to Kind of an Off Day\"><p>There are so many things I want to do: ezine publishing, book writing, column writing, blogging, web design, blog templates, web comics, ASCII art, pixel art, writing in general, and I\u2019m forgetting a few dozen other things.
