Whew! I survived another Monday! After a few days off it was tough to get up early again this morning, but I forced myself to get going eventually. Work turned out to be not that crazy today which was nice not to be tossed into the shark tank on the first day back from the holiday. This evening I went out to the bookstore and bought some more manga. This time I got xxxHolic #6 (took forever to release that), Full Moon #4, and something that I honestly never thought that I would see - Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne #1. It would seem that Arina Tanemura's time has come at last. Now I'm back here to install some more theme layouts, hopefully I'll get some comments one way or the other. ;;

Hmm, what happened today? Nothing exciting except for it being horribly windy outside. It wasn't very cold so the wind didn't feel bad, it just made a mess of my hair. @_@ This evening I did some reading and played FFXI for a little while. So it was a rather quiet day for me.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

One last visit to the forum for tonight. I've just finished doing some reading, but before that I went out this evening to one of my church group meetings. Work was a lot like yesterday although I did spend a little more time out in the shop babysitting a couple of jobs that I have in the works at the moment. So far this week has been going by rather quickly for some reason, but I guess that's just the way things happen sometime. The weather turned colder again today and after being warm yesterday I'm starting to feel a little iccky again. This is one of those times of the year when I always seem to get the sickies ...

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Hehe, I failed to make another one of these last night, so I must have been too pooped to go online or something. It was a Friday today, and the end of another work week. It was a rather busy at work today, so things went by very quickly and there wasn't any long drawn out waiting for the weekend to come. This evening I only visited online for a short time and then I fell asleep for a bit. After dinner I did some more reading and watched a movie with the kiddies. Now I get to surf the web one more time today.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Here it is 10:30PM and I finally show up at the form. XD Well, what that means of course is that I've had a busy day in the real world today. This morning was the same as every Saturday so I went to the bowling alley with the kiddies. Then after lunch I went out shopping for a while and when I came back I started watching the 12 Kingdoms anime series. If dinnertime hadn't interrupted that, I'd probably still be watching it now. After dinner I did some reading and now I'm finally back here again.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Eeepies, I am really slacking when it comes to doing this. ;; This is my first chance to come and visit the forum today because things were really busy at work so there weren't any opportunities to sneak online during the day. I did get some really good news at work though, after five years, they're finally going to give me a pay increase! Wheeeeeee!! *cough* well I'll try not to be too silly about it until I see some of it. XD This evening I went out and did some Christmas shopping and I also went and got my new flat panel monitor, Yaayy!! So that makes 2 coolies things that happened to me today! ^__^ Unfortunately, I didn't get much online time, so I'll try a little better tomorrow.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Today was yet another busy day for me. Work wasn't too bad, but I didn't spend much time in my office today, so I wasn't able to come here and visit the forum. The end of the year is upon us, so I've had to be available to answer questions from the production people trying to shove things out the door at the last minute. This evening I went out to another one of my church groupo meetings, so there wasn't much time to come and visit in the evening either. Hopefully, everyone has been doing well in the meantime.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Hmm, I slipped up again and didn't post an entry yesterday, but since it was nearly a carbon copy of Wednesday, no one will miss anything I think. Today was also very similar, excpet that it was Friday and I got paid finally. This evening I didn't have to go out anywheres, so I stayed home and ordered out for pizza. I've also been watching some TV and playing FFXI too, but I've found a few minutes for the forum now, although I was able to sneak a visit here during the day today.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Teeheehee! Here I am finally. If anyone wants to throw tomatoes at me for not visiting the forum all weekend, now's your chance because I'm guilty this time! XD It's lunchtime on Monday now, so I'm pretty late, but I haven't forgotten about coming here. Later on I should be back ...

Okay, now it's later on and I'm back. Work wasn't really that bad today even though it was a Monday. I've been trying to keep things coordinated as we rapidly run out of time for this year. I've never really been a good manager, so it's been a bit of a challenge for me the past two weeks. The weather outside was a little snowy today, but quite chilly because of the wind so I had to wear my wool coat today. This evening I went out and did a little shopping and got a new leather jacket. It's a little past the season here, but it was less than half price, so it was hard to resist. ;;

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Ooooh, I managed to make it here two days in a row .. wooooww!! XD Today was very much like yesterday except that the weather was a little nicer outside. It was bright and sunny, but still cold, however there wasn't a lot of blustery wind like yesterday. Work was busy as can be, but that's what it was like yesterday too. After work I was going to go shopping, but I chickened out and went home. Maybe I just didn't want any more things to do today, so I just went home and did some more reading to help relax. Now I'm back here to do this again, wheeeeeee!!

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Erm, well this is the first online time that I've had today, but it will be short. Today I Had a visitor at work who came to review the job that I've been working on for him. Everything went well, but it was a long day and I didn't even have time for dinner as I had to run back out to one of my church group meetings again tonight. That finished up only a short time ago, so I finally get a few minutes to make the rounds of my usual haunts ...

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Hi there, I'm back again. Today was a lot like yesterday in many ways - the weather outside was exactly the same as yesterday, I had another visit with customers again today, and that kept me busy and unable to do any online stuff at work. They came all the way from South America and were a little surprised at how cold it was here. Things went pretty good with them though, they seemed like nice people and one of them was really cute too, teeheehee! #^_^# This evening I didn't have to go out anywhere, but I still worked late like yesterday. Now I'm back to the boards again! ^_^

[Shiidou Hikaru]

@_@ Yet another long day at work today. I'm still working with my customers from South America, and that pretty much takes up all of my time, so that leaves no time for any online activities during the day. This is going to continue for a few more days however, so hopefully no one has been annoyed by my absence recently. Not too long ago, RL was always like that, in the days before I owned a PC, but now it seems like another lifetime. I Really miss seeing everyone here ... T_T We got a lot of snow today, so I helped clean that up after dinner. I also played FFXI for only a short time before venturing over here to the forum.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

>_>
Somehow yesterday just disappeared ... I not knowing where it went to. Between work and Holiday preparations, I've had like 2 hours of online time this past weekend. There wasn't any work for me today thank goodness, but I did have Sunday mass this morning and this afternoon we got the Christmas tree. It was fun setting that up, although the kiddies can get just a little overexcited about things like that. Someday they'll make me nuts, so those of you that think the saying "insanity is something you inherit from your kids" is just plain silly might want to experience it someday.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

The end of another Monday. Today didn't turn out to be quite as evil as I thought that it would, so that was a good thing for sure. Just one more day of customer relations tomorrow and then work might get back to semi-normal. This evening I went out and had dinner at a pizza place, so we did get a little time to ourselves this evening. Now I've had a pretty good run at the boards too, but I won't make it to all of them however.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Whew, I am soo happy that today is over. For the past week at work, I've had to entertain customers at work, and that has kept me 100% occupied. While I might seem perfectly sociable here on the forum, IRL I'm not quite that outgoing and business relationships aren't nearly as casual as personal ones are either. But I think that I got through it all okay. After work I gave myself a few drinkies and played FFXI to help me unwind, so now I feel kinda better. The rest of this week I'm going to try and take it easy and next week I have the whole week off ... Yaaayy!! ^__^

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Last night I didn't do one of these, so now I get to do it this morning. Yesterday was much more like a normal day for me. The weather was really cold in the morning again, but not bad enough to bother me that much. Work went pretty good and mostly I spent the day cleaning up things that didn't get done while I was entertaining the visitors this week. After I went home I quickly wrote out all of my Christmas cards and mailed them this morning. Most will make it in time I think. ;; Then after dinner I played FFXI for a while with one of my friends from another forum and we had a good time together, but by the time we were finished we were both really tired and ready to snooze ... zzzzzzz ... which is why I'm doing this now ... XD

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Shii-chan is back for a second time today. Life doesn't get any better than this! XD In many ways today was a lot like yesterday. The weather was much the same, but maybe a little warmer than yesterday. Work was a little slow today, but very few problems to deal with. This evening I got a chance to chat with my online friends for the first time in at least a week, so it was great to see everyone again. After dinner I met up with two other friends in FFXI and the three of us had a good time, but we were all pretty tired. Now I'm back for one last stop into the forum. Just one more day and I get a week off from work, and I really need it ... a lot ...

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Last night I didn't get any time for forums because I had to go out and finish my shopping. After I came home I was just in time to meet a couple of friends to play FFXI, so I did that until I was too tired to stay up ... so I went to bed. XD

[Shiidou Hikaru]

It's not often that you'll see me online at this time of the night, but I just wanted to come and wish everyone a Merry Christmas before heading off to bed. A little while ago I just returned home from Midnight Mass and a little party that we had at the church afterwards. Earlier today, well yesterday now, I spent most of the time wrapping presents and I also took the kiddies to the bowling alley. In the evening I was able to visit online for a bit, but there weren't very many people around today. It's not really surprising, but I hope that everyone is having a good time with their families today.
