Rain, Building, and the Search for a New Purse

I will start out by saying, the weather here has been insane over the past few weeks.  As a result, I am alternating between having a cold, and ... well, feeling okay, but still having a cold.  I work overnights, and the lows have gone, within the past week, anywhere from 32F to 58F.  I have no idea on a day to day basis, whether to leave my heater on, or turn it off ...what to wear, or if I need that extra blanket on my bed.  I am weather confused, people!!  But, I guess it proves what they say about living in my part of the US ... "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute."

Loki - Eater of Purses

And, I need a new purse, now.  My cute, adorable puppy, Loki, took a liking to it.  I forgot to not put it on the foot stool last night, and he not only got the zipper open, but devastated the zipper.  As in, I found the zipper a few feet away from my purse.  My cherry all - day sucker is history, as is my remaining lip gloss - yes, the chocolate cherry one, and I am going to need a new tube of Orajel. (I bet he enjoyed that one, heh.)  I have a fiendish delight out of imagining him sitting in the middle of the living room floor, looking puzzled, thinking, what the hell happened to my mouth!!? I can't feel my mouth!!  It makes me sad - its the only expensive purse I've ever owned - a Guess one, and it was a really neat shade of ... well, lime green is the best way to explain it.  And, it had a matching wallet!  (I did manage to save the wallet.)  But, it's my own fault, he's a puppy, and it had tasty cherry flavoured stuff in it, and I left it down, where he could get it.  And besides, he looks so utterly content, curled up in the corner of the couch, that I can't possibly be mad at him. So, I guess we'll just go with, slightly miffed.  

Besides, it's raining.  And I can't be angry when it's raining outside. As I sit here, typing this lovely blog post, I can hear the sound of the rain coming off of the roof and hitting my porch, outside. Just this gentle pattering of water, and it's lovely.  Its very relaxing.  I adore rain, have I mentioned? Now you know.  Its a balmy 61F outside, and the sky is dark and gray and lovely, and I just want to open all of the windows in my house and let the air come inside.   But, I can't, because we have a water treatment plant a ways down the road, and sometimes, you can smell it.  Today is one of those times.  It kinda smells like rain, mixed with fish (from the river), mixed with ass.  So, my windows will remain closed, and I will simply gaze upon the wonder that is the gently falling rain, through glass panes.

Today is Jynxx's RL anniversary - 24 years!! Congrats, woman!  She and Mr Jynxx went to Medieval Times, I am assuming, in Orlando.  This is where I hate her for a few seconds.  OK, all done.  Oh hey, Jynxx?  6 days.  WOOT!

Anyway, obviously, she isn't going to be on SL today.  Master and I went on this morning, and had a bit of a brainstorming session in the new club build.  We decided that the library needed to be moved, and we also added a connecting bit of walkway to make it more accessible from the other side.  Satre came in and dropped the new couches and dance podiums for us, and gave me the new Exile texture for the dance floor and signage.  I left Jynxx a message on FB that we had mildly altered a few things, and her reply was, "Ut oh", and of course, she had to log in and check it out before they left for their night o' fun.   Apparently, she quite liked what we had done! YaY!  I really enjoyed getting to do a bit of building.  Jynxx and I have an agreement - she builds, I texture things.  But, it's been a long time since I played with building, and it was great fun.  I discovered that I am a bit rusty, but once I got started, I remembered things fast enough.

Now I am going to close out the blog for the evening, and enjoy my rainy night, talk to my Master on Skype, and maybe play some WoW.  The possibilities are endless.
