Ahh, storm.

votania got off work early, and so was home before sunset. She and Marx elected to go swimming before the storm hit.

After supper, I went swimming. I did a few laps, and noted how tired my arms were.

I always feel so much at home in the water. No wonder it was my element of choice for a time.

Came back in, and surfed around and purchased both Darkside Blues and X: Two from http://www.bn.com, as they were indeed priced as hlynna advertised. Free shipping!! Whee!

Commented to wiseheron that she should go ahead and call, then shut down the computers, as the lightning was getting lightningy. Spent an enjoyable hour and 40 minutes taking advantage of her unlimited long distance and gossiping/psychgeeking. Much fun. Though it will be a little amusing to straighten out whether the woman on the end of the phone is Rhi or Ro, as they sound (to my ear) very similar. The voices, that is.

After that, brushed my hair and completely got rid of the tangles, then put a bead-braid in and gave myself a facial. Yay, me. Used a green clay and witch hazel mask, for those interested, and then followed up with nice hot wet washclothes. Mmm.

wiseheron and olliesmama might get on, if they're not already friends.

Apology is good for the soul. I've felt lousy over a certain ill-tempered outburst in a paper journal for quite some time. I'd been spending a happy and quiet morning with Darkside, and I'd been nerving myself up to say something about something to him, and then Bald Guy came in and perkily monopolized the conversation, dragging Darkside's attention away from me (where it belonged) and into the game with Bald Guy. Instant anger on my part happened, and I passive-aggressively wrote words of furious cruelty in my journal -- words that Darkside saw, words that cut him. How deep I didn't realize, until I heard those same words from him self-depreciatingly some days later...

He knows, now, why I wrote those words, and while that may not ever erase the sting, at least he'll know why I said it, why I wanted to make him feel how badly it hurt.

You already have a Reader's Advantage card then? Cool!

Basically my employee discount IS the Reader's Advantage discount when I shop online.

Now, it's in-store when it all changes. :)

Yep. I tend to collect those from bookstores. I wonder why.
