In which I’m employed! I’ve been here a whole month yesterday! Had two calls from the temp agency, but no assignments. So today I went for an interview with Home Depot and got offered a job on the spot! I went to apply for a part-time seasonal gig in the garden department, but ended up […]
In which I got to see the view from the 27th floor. When I told people I was moving to Minneapolis, they invariably responded, “Oh, for work?” and I kept having to say, “No, for love. I think I’ll temp or something,” because apparently grown people don’t just move two thousand miles unless it’s for […]
In which there’s basically a glorified to-do list. I just read a good friend’s post about meeting and reaching goals, and decided to write my own since I’ve got all this free time on my hands. Work/income I need to get a job before I run out of money altogether. (I also need a reason […]
In which there’s been lots of consumerism. So. Much. Buying. Stuff. We’ve purchased the following things: a dish drainer, Pyrex casserole dishes, an immersion blender, a bicycle, many groceries, a big scented candle, a bike lock, a nightlight, a tiny bungee cord and a bike basket, a box of 25 different kinds of incense, a […]
In which I don’t quite believe what I’ve done. We bought the plane ticket six weeks ago, because without a set date I knew I’d never get anything done. But I met my goal admirably, even down to guessing correctly how many boxes it would take. (Twenty. Slightly under four hundred pounds.) The goal was […]
In which it’s the time of year known as ‘omfg i HATE the dread!!!’. About once a year or so, usually around this time, give or take a few weeks, my panic and anxiety gets really rough and I get so incredibly miserable I finally consider going into the family clinic and begging for enough […]
In which there are Mason, Kerr, and Ball jars. I like jars. You can get a bunch of them for like twelve bucks, and use them for pretty much everything from juice glass to food storage to coffee brewing. They’re probably less awesome in kitchens with stone floors, but in general if you don’t drop […]
In which there is support. After months of wearing the same bra to work every day, I finally bought another. Progress, people, progress! I also bought some fantastic bootleg yoga pants, a top to match, and half a dozen boxes of incense, but it’s really the bra that matters. . .. … .. . I […]
In which all I want to do lately is laze around doing not much of anything. I spend the vast majority of my free time in my room, sitting on the floor. I read, I nap, I knit, I watch Netflix, and I chat with LDBF via Skype. In the past week or so I’ve […]
In which there’s a very long-form piece about love. (Originally posted here, but since I wrote it I decided I’d like a local copy and moved it. So here it is.) A year ago, if you’d asked me if I’d ever been in love before, I would have said yes, of course. I mean, I’m […]
