In which there are essentially four aspects to my life these days: gigging, the e-BF, wine, and my awesome day job. My uncle Dangerous is in town. Yesterday afternoon I got abducted by him and my aunt and my brother and two dogs and mercilessly dragged to Marcy’s for “lunch,” which was in actual fact […]
In which there’s a soup recipe that freezes really well! I made this soup a couple weeks ago and froze some of it. Friday I pulled some out of the freezer; Saturday I re-heated it and ate it and it was brilliant! I love this soup! It satisfies that “I really want a creamy chowder […]
In which I break a couple of things and the long-distance relationship is great. Yesterday, my 31 day-old phone died. Just up and goddamned failed, right in the middle of the afternoon. Six months ago, I probably wouldn’t have cared much about being phoneless for a day or three, but now my phone is my […]
In which I finally post! I really don’t know what my problem is; I mean I have all this free time and everything, I just never blog anymore. Also: I use the phrase “fucking awesome” far too many times in this post. This is what’s great about my new job: there’s actual work to do. […]
In which I haven’t posted in a month! I’m alive, I love my new job, my trip to Seattle to see Amma was wonderful. Someday I’ll write a real post. I promise.
In which there is a running list. 6:02 wake up for no god damned reason 7:19 wake up for no god damned reason 8:10 turn off alarm, get out of bed 8:11 search ‘copy edit test’ 8:32 shower 9:00 eat a mushroom, asparagus, and cheddar omelet 9:15 leave the house 9:48 take copy editing test […]
In which unemployment continues apace. I got laid off three and a half weeks ago. I have no idea how it’s been three and a half weeks already, but it has. I’ve been catching up on little projects, like throwing shit out and/or taking it to Goodwill and getting all the laundry done and folded […]
In which I’m totally outta there and it hasn’t even been four days. For some reason I got my final pay (56 hours regular, 40 vacation, and 30 severance) direct deposited almost immediately. Today my final pay stub came in the mail. My ex-employer has contacted me exactly only once to ask a question. Wow. […]
In which I’m unemployed again. In September of 2011 I had just finished a networking certificate at the community college and was beginning to freak out because my unemployment benefits were running out. Three days before they did, my ex-employer tracked me down and offered me a job with okay pay and a decent title. […]
In which there’s a post because I haven’t been posting for shit for MONTHS. Okay, so, the new prescription. I now have new glasses and new contacts. Full-on examination routine at the optometrists’ because I’m old: glaucoma tests, retinal images, the works. The new prescription is awesome for distance-viewing (holy SHIT things are clear), but […]
