Saturday was a lovely day at the gardens, and I could tell you my photos of it are up at Buzznet, but that would be a lie. I haven't edited that (huge) batch yet. What's up instead are a couple pictures of some stickers I bought last weekend, that please me. Hopefully, I'll get the Japanese Garden pics up in the next couple days.
Meanwhile, I've got a CD of good photos of the Gardens from the past three years ready to send off to them as a donation - I've been emailing the Marketing Director, and she seemed pleased and said they can never have enough photos. She offered that I could email or send her a CD, and I told her a CD was better as I have several and the current camera produces large files. (Actually, mostly 2 megs, unless I dump it up to high mode and take the tiffs - which I usually don't, because the 'scene' settings set it back down to fine.) I don't think she's expecting what she's going to get, though, which is a CD with just over 350 photos on it. Every one of them, in my opinion, potentially usable. *beams happily* We'll see if she agrees, but even if I only hit maybe a 10% match with what she wants, that's not too bad.
Got stuff done around the house. The library has two movies waiting for me now, so I'll pick them up on the way home from work tomorrow. The antibiotics are taking out my sinus infection - I'm still loopy at times, but not so bad, the decongstants and tylenol are mostly enough. It comes and goes. I'm tired today (I went to bed late - after 11 - woke up at 5:30 and didn't get back to sleep 'til near 6 for various reasons, then slept till after 8, much later than I have been). On the other hand, I'm explicably tired; I can't blame that one on the sinus infection, so.
My new DVD/CD writer/reader is making me happy, mostly by working as it is supposed to. And yes, I've been sort of putting it through its paces, because it's nice to know things work as they say they do.
I've gotten a fair bit done staff-wise on Ephemera this weekend - while Chaos is on vacation, I'm (not officially, but just have been) picking up her build-related jobs (fairly easy, really). I've also been doing a help rewrite and finally sent the first draft to the rest of staff for review. One step closer. And nothing for me to do on it until they review it, which is a nice break. :) I have also been roleplaying, and the scenes have been good and fun. I've twice had to end one because my brain goes a bit too easily into 'off' right now, which I'm blaming on the sinuses, though who knows if I'm right or not.
And soon, my weekend will be over and I'll be on-call next week, though not as the primary. However, it's my last week on-call until I think early September. Maybe late August. And only a week and a half until my boss is back from his vacation and in the office. That will be nice. Right now, we're sharing out his duties between myself and someone else - and since a third person got preempted from what they were doing, the other person taking on the shared-out duties will be out of the office Tuesday through Friday.
This week will be interesting. But it will end, and that will be good; and with luck, I will get lots done and it will be good even while it's going on. I must not anticipate finishing everything I'd originally planned for this week before hearing of this, though, or I'll be very frustrated by the end of it, I'm sure.
Hmmm. Reflecting on this, it's slightly incoherent, somewhat inane, occasionally whiny and mostly cheerful. That sounds like my life, about now, so it will do. :)
