Ye Gods, the yard about kicked my fucking ass. I intended on mowing only the front yard and driveway. I ended up mowing those and the back 40, as we like to call it, and the strip of yard we share with Sherry.

In about an hour.

All that's left though is some touch up mowing out by the shop and the backyard.

It did me good though. Worked off some mixed depression and anxiety. I'm too pooped to be moody right now.

I also called the Oklahoma Dept. of Education. I either have to drive 3 hours to OKC or request a form through the mail. I had the lady send me the request form, depending on how long of a wait/processing I have will make the difference in a 3 hour drive or not.

Scratch that, I just got the form emailed to me. I can get it printed and get a $5 money order and have it in the mail tomorrow. When they get it, they will process my order within 24 hours.

Tomorrow I'll order my birth certificate. It's going to cost me almost $40, but I'll have it within the week.

TMF has been doing some dishes while I was out mowing. How's that for a mixed up dichotomy?

Feed the Muse: Fanfics

When my writing muse has bitten me lately, it seems to be biting in the form of fanfic. Which is strange for me, because I just don't write fanfic. And it's all coming through the animated series Inuyasha. Which if you've never seen, means that anything further is going to make very little sense.

One of the communities I belong to is a challenge community. They post a pic a week, you write the story. And I did. And I came in 3rd Place! I'm all shades of giggly pleased about this, because frankly, writing anything has been like pulling teeth, much less writing completely out of my genre.

But look what giggly me got!

Casa De Wenchy: Cooking

Pork Loin is on the grill. I seasoned it with cajun seasonings, honey, and orange juice. Set it in a roasting pan to cook, with the juice and honey in the pan. Added an aluminum tent to cover it. Tossed a handful of wet mesquite chips on the coals too.

Demon's cooking oven roasted potatoes with oil, garlic, rosemary, and sea salt.

Dinner is looking very promising.

Casa De Wenchy: Henna & Cooking

Sherry came knocking on the door around 7:30. She decided we were coloring my hair. Tonight. She's been wanting to play with the henna for a while now, and since she's doing my hair in the morning, she wanted to make sure it was colored too.

So, we had a quick lesson in Henna, spices, and what goes into the mix. And I'm sitting here, gooped.

I figure I'll give it another hour or so and rinse it out. Get a shower too, since I got sweaty from mowing the lawn today.

Tomorrow I'll get up, wash my hair, and get over to Sherry's so she can braid it.

Dinner. Awesome. Tasty pork. Potatoes were good too. Much nom nom nom-ing was had.

Henna is out. I'll know better in the morning what shade of OMG my hair turned out to be.

Don't worry. I've been messing with the henna long enough that I avoid turning my head road cone orange.

Took my sleeper. Going to bed about 3 and 1/2 hours early tonight. Just want to make sure I'm ready for the interview tomorrow.
