Saturday night, I came home after work tired and down and fell into bed a few hours later as hard and blank as a zombie with a pick axe in her brain. Today I struggled for several minutes to even remember what I had DONE the day before, and once I realized it was literally [...]
Sometimes I look at photos I’ve taken of myself and think I aged a decade in two years.
It’s the last day of January. On one hand, I’ve had a good month. I lost some weight. I did some fun stuff. I saw my friends more often. I cleaned the house more often. I got a [...]
Today I start a project. It is a large project. A project with many goals and many requirements. Fuck, it’s a no-holds-barred life changer is what it is. See, I’m really awesome. Like seriously cool as can be. But I’ve gone way off the rails the past few years. You know. I bitch about it [...]
It’s the end of my twenties as we know it, and I feel fiiiiiiine. (Thank you R.E.M. for giving us that infinitely adaptable line. And also for being older than me.) I turned 30 on Saturday. Seeing as I possess an insatiable and damn near compulsive tendency to crack a self-deprecating joke at any opportune [...]
The last two months are one long day. Thinking back, I can feel events and emotions that were long and beautiful and real at the time but now they rush in and crawl back like waves on a beach. Or strobe lights in a haunted house, maybe. The waves, or strobes if you prefer that [...]
A few weeks ago, I got really excited about a communications specialist position posted on St. Jude/ALSAC’s website. I’m qualified for it, I know people there, it’s totally something I want to do and who doesn’t want to work at St. Jude, right? In fact, of all the jobs I’ve applied for, it’s the position [...]
I haven’t taken any photos or written any entries for days, obviously. I wanted to post, though, even if it’s just a placeholder, so I could get my typing fingers warmed up again, my blogging brain blogging again, my writer writing. Also, I need to move that pants-crapping entry farther on down the page.Pretty sure [...]
Saturday’s weather was magnetic, clear and wholly sunny. No clouds, 100% blue light and warmth. But Mother Nature must have flipped her coin during the night. Sunday was also 100% and pure, but constant gray rain. Equally beautiful, the cloudy drizzle wasn’t so hospitable. Luckily, this darker day didn’t ruin my plans to enjoy nature [...]
I’ve had these cute, tiny vintage post earrings since I was a kid, and they’ve been stashed in a jewelry box for too long. So last night I made display cards (second card not pictured) and hung them in two blank squares of my jewelry wall. Confession: I thought the earrings [...]
Well, I’ve been talking since Monday up the rafters and back about this, but for anyone who only knows me through here… my “big change” two posts ago is I’m leaving my job on July 31. It’s been a long, hard, sometimes great, sometimes awful six years. And now it’s time to move on.
Move to [...]
