In which I just looked out the window! It’s Sunday so we slept in and then went out for brunch. I had a veggie omelet (with sweet potato in it, for some reason) and hash browns and a side of vegetarian gravy because I love gravy. Then we came home and he studied for his […]
In which Christmas is in two weeks and I finally put up the tree! How is it Christmas in two weeks?! What the fuck, time. Of course, in Minnesota we’d have already lived through two blizzards and weeks of sub-zero temperatures, so the lack of brutal weather makes it sorta feel like it’s earlier in […]
In which I rode my bike to the store today! When we moved to M-F I decided I needed a bike. The grocery store’s a mile away, and there’s no way I’m hauling a gallon of milk an entire mile on foot. Work’s a half mile away, so a bike would cut my already-short commute […]
In which THIS IS THE WEEK the washer and dryer come!!! My favorite aunt bought us a washer and dryer. We ordered them back in October, but they had to be shipped in, I guess, and we had to wait a couple months for delivery. They’re due ON TUESDAY, and they’ll go in this very […]
In which I love this goddamned appliance, okay? I cooked three full meals in this kitchen today, for a total of eight courses, and I have not done the washing up. Look at it. Just look. It’s spotless. No dishes anywhere. THEY’RE IN THE DISHWASHER, off the counter, out of sight. It’s amazing. I never […]
In which I’ve gone and turned 51, of all things, and here is a short paragraph about it. I’m fat as hell, my feet always hurt even though I only work part-time, my skin has no elasticity and is just drooping like fabric on the bias, I have a nearly constant stabbing pain in the […]
In which LOL MY MIND THO. What’s the word for that psychological condition in which, after you quit a job and receive your final paycheck and have no income, you suddenly find yourself wanting, practically needing, to spend money on inane shit? I always have this! Every time I’m unemployed. Well, shit, no money coming […]
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 this is really weird. He’s gone for two weeks, and I have the place to myself. Off managing the integration of a satellite office for work. I can do whatever I want! Including nothing! I don’t even have to make dinner if I don’t want to! I can do absolutely NOTHING AT ALL […]
In which I had an epiphany about interconnectedness while drinking a dark mocha latte breve. Was just over at the coffee shop with a pile of stuff in front of me. This pile of stuff: That’s a fountain pen, traveler’s notebook, my prescription glasses, a mason jar lid and ring, an instant camera and nylon/pseudo-leather […]
