so, I hold my breath - to forget I was successful in my plan to sit around playing poker once my internet was connected. The Shaw guy showed up early this morning so I was all set up before 10, and managed to get in a few solid hours of poker-playing. Today I didn't win, but I was playing differently than I usually do (cautious). The only time I left the house today was to help froo bring in stuff from her car when she stopped by with some items for me. Champion slacker, I am.

I didn't just play poker today. You may notice my new banner. I played around with photoshop for a bit today and created that image, but I'm pretty sure it will be here only short-term, because I really don't like it that much. I just had to get the old one off, and this is all I've got as a replacement for now. I also did a bunch more dishes (and concluded that I have way too many dishes for one person). I re-arranged my bedroom (noisy tv-watching neighbour has proven that my bed cannot be on our shared wall). I continued to unpack the little stuff like candles, CDs, paperwork, some clothes. My place is starting to look mostly organized and settled.

Time for more poker before bed. My internet and computer speed are noticeably faster than what I was dealing with at the parents' place, so it's fun. Gotta win back my fake money.  | ¶ 10:52 p.m.
