Just because it's bugging me...

The Veronica Mars thing...even though "real life" is extremely difficult now too...is REALLY bothering me...so, for those who have watched it and understand my pain, I'm sharing the link to the online petition to get Rob Thomas to "fix" his mistake: A Petition for Rob Thomas (spoiler free title, but not spoiler free if you click on it) link

Sorry I've been absent, nothing going on!

Well, they say that no news is good news, but that's not the same in my case. Work has been HORRIBLE. I haven't stitched a square. The new season of Veronica Mars RUINED my life. I've pretty much been in hiding for weeks now. I've been watching a lot of FitzSimmons fan videos and I've started re-watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. just trying to make myself feel better but, at least so far, I'm still in a funk, so I've been blog-absent. I just want to start my new work project, I want the new season of Veronica Mars to NOT have happened, and I want life to go back to normal, but I NEVER get what I want, so what else is new? Oh well, I figure might take a blog-break for a little while until things either die down, or pick back up, depending on which side of the coin you look at. But then again, you guys know me, I might be posting a HUGE essay on something really annoying by tomorrow!

Yes folks, I stitched!

I'm not sure if I was just trying to take my mind off of dwelling on the incredibly terrifying load of work coming my way with building an entirely new LIS system for work or what, but I did stitch this weekend, and it's probably more than I've done in a while (although still not up to my usual standards). I pulled out Maleficent (yes, I know I probably shouldn't call her that, but that IS who she is and, when I bought her from Heaven and Earth Designs, that WAS her name before they had to change it for legal reasons, so I'm sticking to it anyway because it bugs me they changed it to Evil Queen when we ALL know who the Evil Queen is and it AIN'T Maleficent!). Last time I even touched her was row 5 finish back in February 2018: And, had I not got distracted by TV, I could have easily finished the color on the page I was working on, especially since it was only 10 more rows (but I didn't)...I'm also having issues with playing Marvel Game Quest on my iP...

Another road trip - half work/half fun...residual moodiness

Well, on Monday, a co-worker and I drove down to Baton Rouge to look at a computer system for work. Being that social for four hours (yep...FOUR HOURS...I was expecting maybe an hour at most) was hard enough, I was practically climbing the walls to get out of there, but we did learn a lot and I'm still reeling from all the information they bombarded us with! I REALLY hope we get lucky enough to be able to get the system I want. We left at my usual 1:30 am time period on Monday morning and, as per usual, my town was deader than a door nail: It's not like I "want" heavy traffic at that time of the morning, but it would be nice not to be the only person on the road, or even awake! We made good time down to Baton Rouge, about 6 hours: But I gotta say, as someone who is OBSESSED with interstate walls, Louisiana has some work to do! At least my co-worker wasn't freaked out by my incessant picture-taking while driving like some people are! Once we FINALLY got ...
