    Or, you know, just get one that fits. I can't imagine that a strap of leather with a two metal bits punched in it is the most difficult piece of jewelry to make.

    It's not, but the "two metal bits" part requires a special instrument to fasten 'em to the leather. I couldn't do it myself unless I bought one o' them instruments. And the only issue with getting it re-done completely is that I'd have to pay for an entire bracelet, rather than just shipping. :? Also, he did a special thing to the edges so that they don't fray, and I don't have that stuff he used for that, either.

    But a good thing happened!

    I emailed the guy, and he must check his email frequently...because he just replied back to me that he'd do the adjustment for free, and I'd just have to ship it back to him and pay him $2 for him to ship it back to me. Woo! :D And he said if he for whatever reason couldn't do the adjustment, he'd just make me a new one for free! :D wooo!

    ALSO:

    SCONES!!!! WOOOOOO

    They're delicious and the whole wheat flour actually isn't as wheaty-tasting as I was expecting, which is awesome...I don't like super-sweet scones, but I think the next time I make these I'll add more sugar...I cut some sugar from the recipe because it seemed like a lot...but with the wheat flour and hella fresh cranberries I added in, I think a bit more sugar would be welcome to help counteract the tartness of the fruit, and wheat-ness of the flour. :)

    A good end to a 6-hour day! I am SO waking up at 1pm or earlier, tomorrow. :x

    How can people sleep that long? Tell me, I would really like to know.

    Coincidentally, I am really tired right now for some unexplained reason. I've been getting about 7 hours of sleep (well, 7 hours of being in bed at least) consistently for the past few weeks, but if that's the reason why now?

    How can people sleep that long? Tell me, I would really like to know.

    Alternatively, I don't understand how people can run on 6 - or fewer - hours of sleep every night and function. One of my uncles sleeps about 6 hours a night. Every night. That is his normal routine.

    Also, as far as staying in bed for that long: I suggest getting a bad mattress, running a fan in the background for some white noise, and blocking the light from your windows. You will SLEEP FOREVER.

    My mattress here sucks (I can clearly feel the springs...feel them sometimes to the point that they're painful, and I have to put some blanket underneath my ribs so I don't feel the springs)...there's not much sunlight (today especially, since it rained)...and I run a fan at night year-round because it makes me fall asleep much much faster...it drowns out little noises that I'd focus on and stay awake from. White noise is the best thing for sleeps.

    I run best on 12 hours of sleep. 8 hours will get me through half a day and then I'm worthless after than. 6 hours and I'll be able to walk around like a normal human but that's about it.

    Twelve hours?? Christ. One of my roommates last year slept like that. I start to think that after the "10 hour" mark, if you need any more sleep than that, you might have problems. I don't know though.

    It's probably true. I don't get any exercise and have a horrible diet.

    I'm sorry, but this is nuts. That's so much wasted time. I need 8 hours, but I often get 6 hours because there's things I like to do. Granted, worthless things that get me nothing of value...but I enjoy them. In four hours I can catch up on the shows I've been watching in a week or read a book for class. All together that's 28 hours a week down the drain. Horrendous.

    That actually is exactly how my roommate functioned...heh! Maybe that's part of it, then.

    I eat relatively well (though during the winter it's a little less well)...but I don't get much exercise in winter at all. I wish I could, though! :(

    Speaking of fat, I'm trying the P90-X workout/diet. It's 90 days with three different phases to it. I like that it's pretty straightforward (eat healthy, workout hard). No weird stuff or anything unsustainable. I needed something to keep me moving now that it's a frozen wasteland outside again.

    I'm not quite X yet. Maybe half an X. Like a V lying on its side, exhausted. >:...:
