In which I wonder. It’s still fashionable to say things like this: Veterans used to be those who went out and fought and suffered to protect human rights. It was clear you were on the right and proper side if you were a U.S. vet and fought in one of the world wars. Now, they […]
In which I’m suddenly freezing! I don’t know if it’s being old, being fat, being pre-menopausal, or what, but my body’s not very good at temperature regulation anymore. I’m either way too hot or freezing; either opening windows and taking off socks and running fans, or layered up under a blanket. Fun with embodiment, I […]
In which there’s The Dread, aka my anxiety disorder. Had anxiety pretty bad yesterday, and during the night. Pretty anxious today, too. I know I’ve said this before, but the problem with anxiety and panic is this: Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you. In the same way, being deeply […]
In which I STILL don’t understand how people can know so little about the services they use. If you were the majority of Floridian customers I assisted during my shift at work this evening, you’ve just been through a massive 500-year storm that destroyed tons of shit, you either don’t have power or you’re running […]
In which there are styles of handwriting to look at. For no real reason, I’m trying to figure out which style of cursive I learned. I’m beginning to suspect that changing schools so often actually exposed me to multiple systems, because no single script style encompasses how I form my letters — D’Nealian, modified Spencerian, […]
In which I have a morbid new approach that really seems to be working. I have developed a new litany. Whenever there’s A Sensation my mind desires to become frightened of, I tell it this: You have a fatal, untreatable, inoperable disease. You are dying, and there’s nothing anybody can do about it. You’re bound […]
In which it’s just random vacuous noise about the outer, but in my inner life weird shit is going on. Jai Ma! We went out to dinner yesterday at Little Tijuana. Tostadas! Today, I received new bath things! Before: (That is a color picture. Honest.) After: Way more teal than I expected, but hey, it’s […]
In which we’ve been trolled. In the middle of the night, the apartment suddenly exploded with white dust. It was probably between 2:30 and 3 in the morning. We were still up and the lights were on. There were three fans running, so it was everywhere, instantly. My guess is that some asshat stole a […]
In which I’m not very good at this stuff. My aunt is in town and offered to take us out to dinner tonight. I picked the restaurant closest to her hotel and it turned out to be kind of expensive, so I thought, hell, I never leave the house, and we’re going somewhere nice. Maybe […]
In which I tell you how it felt to run medium-distance sprints as a tween. I have never enjoyed exercise. I remember being in junior high school on the track team. Sucked at sprinting, sucked at distance, so they put me on the 200 meter. It was miserable. I could not figure out what in […]
