Wolf's Den

So, took care of the social security card bit.

TRIED to take care of the renewal of Driver's License bit. I will never understand why if you're renewing, you have to take the fool tests all over again. Which, i couldn't do, as I need new contacts, and my eye appointment isn't until NEXT Thursday.

On a good note, I don't need my SSN card. I just needed my marriage certificate.

I swear, if I knew it was going to be this much of a hassle to change my last name, I'd have kept my maiden name, Marine Corps be damned (they *forced* me to change it.Seriously. I had no choice while active duty).

Picked up Dante's meds. I love her to death, but the expense of her meds, I will so not miss when she decides to go.

Got more topsoil and a couple bags of compost to top off the front iris bed, and fill in the holes in the cinder blocks for the new raised bed. I'm thinking, I'll be planting my seedlings this next week, as it's supposed to rain Sunday, so I'll wait until the dirt is completely settled out, see if I need to add more and do so, accordingly.

We're considering heading downtown again this weekend, Mark wants to go to the Science Museum, I want to hit the Farmer's Market, then we're going grocery shopping, as we really need groceries now. Cupboards are looking abit bare. And the grocery list is getting longer...

My Buddleia bush out front has #$%#$^%&(#!@$!%^*&^&(*_()_+$@%!@#~!$#^%^*&^& aphids. (So is the blasted Feverfew, ARGH!!!) Got them off the Irises, now they're on the Buddleia. Too many for the numerous LadyBugs to dispose of. I'm down to one bottle of Safer Insecticidal Soap. Guess I'll make a batch of water, dish soap and baking soda up.

Driveway needs weeding too. Sheesh.

My Wisteria is doing well, that's all I smell when I go out front. Between that and the Lilac, my yard smells like a perfumery. Yes, I have photos. I'll upload them tonight.

Had to turn the AC on. In April. Yikes.

In other news...

no_comp_neededis a comm that you can join just to express your support for IJ. I personally don't care that we were down for two days. Accidents happen, and Squeaky kept us all informed the whole time on Twitter. It's amazing that he got things back up and running so quickly. And everything seems to be just the way it was before the crash. Besides, if you had lost your journals and didn't have them backed up...SHAME ON YOU, not Squeaky! (Me too--I have not yet backed this up!!!) (copied from techno_goddess}:P )

I joined with this journal, it's perm, what are they going to do? Add 2 days to infinity? Sheesh. I need to join with blackblade, even though that's a free account, it won't be when I get everything else straightened out and have the spare money again. InsaneJournal is vastly worth it.

I guess that's it for now. I need to run to AC Moore before going to get Mark from work.

Oh yeah, Twitter has frustrated me to no end. The sidebar? Isn't being a sidebar. It's glitched itself up to the top of my Twitters and is very annoying, because now, I have to keep scrolling down below it, to read the twitters. AND it keeps eating any posts I make. It ate four in a row today. No response from 'Help' yet, either. Shitty customer service, considering this has been going on since LAST NIGHT. I shut it down, it annoyed me so badly.


I have another rant, but that can wait until later.
