In which I very nearly gave myself a panic attack. We’re still over a week away from loading the shipping container — and we’re at least half packed — but my mind just served up this whole entire OMFG WE’RE NOT READY, WE CAN’T DO THIS, IT’LL NEVER WORK, IT’LL BE A NIGHTMARE thing about […]
In which there’s some cash. Homeless chick rode up to me on her bike during my walk to work today, very conciliatory, sorry to bother, said she’d just woken up in the park, mid-afternoon (I assume she was awake most of the dark hours, perhaps to move on, perhaps to watch her stuff), only had […]
In which blah blah Facebook blah. Somebody from Fairfield posted this on Facebook: And I wrote this in response, but didn’t post it. Because why bother. Counterpoint: There is no good reason to shame people who need pharmaceutical antidepressants. Those meds save lives. Humans suffering from mental health disorders do not need to hear that […]
In which I’ve checked some boxes on my to-do list. Slept a solid 8 hours… in a row! (Lately I’ve been sleeping in shifts. Bit annoying, really. Had to work Saturday’s 11-7 shift on a mere four hours sleep, because I woke up at five in the morning and never got back to sleep.) Woke […]
In which spring has FINALLY fucking SPRUNG in the 55408! I took this while walking to work this morning: The trees here leaf out so quickly you can hear them grow. They start late, so they have to!
In which I’m reposting an hilarious series of texts Embo sent me last week, because she said I could. If you’re me, you have excellent friends. And people who have excellent friends occasionally get text galleries LIKE THIS: Look at that clean-ass living room. And that punk-ass beer fridge! LOVE IT. Painting?! VOLUNTARY PAINTING PROJECTS?! […]
In which *LOUD SCREECHING NOISES*!!! Embo told me she’d heard that an Oregon dairy might be opening a cheese shop in Walla Walla. I immediately went online and got my Washington state food handler’s card and updated my resume with the Wisconsin cheese course I recently completed. Then I went to the dairy’s website, found […]
In which I know they can’t be persuaded until they’re ready so I’m not bothering to post this on Facebook, where I wrote it in response to someone’s anti-vaxx post, but I didn’t want to delete it. The risks of being exposed to diseases are known, and they are horrible. The risks of vaccination are […]
In which there are NO MORE DRAWERS! Yesterday, I put our shitty, old, used, and dinged up $99 IKEA chest of drawers on Craigslist, and got three responses in under three hours. A kid came and picked it up this afternoon, and now all the crap that was in it is on the bed. I […]
In which we’ve decided to move! I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’m not a fan of the weather out here. There’s no spring or fall, just sweltering, muggy summer, and blizzard season. Living in Uptown is kinda cool in that there are art stores and coffee shops and diners and bars and […]
