In which there’s not much going on, really. Yay Christmas break! Went to a great pre-solstice party Sunday night, hung out with fun people and ate great food. Volunteered at Helpline on Monday afternoon; it was great. Got to give away blankets and gloves and food and fix a computer and everything. Did my Xmas […]
In which I got up early… and it was actually a pleasant experience! I got laid off a year ago yesterday. Since then, I looked for work for six months and had a total of two responses, and then I applied for and returned to school but my classes are 85% online. I have an […]
In which the term is over and I’m on Christmas break! I barely left the house. I declined three different social invitations. I studied and studied and studied. Then I studied some more. I powered through the Windows Client practice tests and the rest of the Linux + class. It took several tries to pass […]
In which I update you on my educational progress. As you know, I went back to school full-time this fall. I’m taking 4 courses: Windows Client, Linux +, Cisco Certified Network Associate (all online-only, via TestOut LabSim), and CCNA Exploration (also online, but with a classroom/lab component). The term is over next Thursday. I’ve finished […]
In which the banking industry has no manners because it feels it doesn’t need to. I’m listed at Chex Systems. The reason for this starts with a d and ends with ivorce; long story short, all the bills were in my name and we lived just at the very edge of our means and then […]
In which there’s a quote. Do you know how to make a match from scratch? Could you grind lenses for your glasses? Do you know how to make guns or bullets? How to refine ore, how to make aluminum? Could you build a battery? Do you know how to wire an electrical circuit? How about […]
In which there’s a quick update. 1. I had two horrible weeks of panic and anxiety, but it seems to be over now. 2. I’ve redecorated the ‘box for Xmas! 3. This is the 9th week of a 10-week quarter. I’m freakin’ out because I think I’m behind in my coursework, my practice test scores […]
In which I want to go see Mother so much it hurts. I thought maybe I wasn’t going to be able to deal with the Creator of a reality that contained within it the death of my beloved pet and companion, and in fact I pretty much only looked at my meditation corner over the […]
In which IS IT YOU? Is it? I got two books from my Amazon Wishlist today, but I don’t know who sent them! Whoever you are, THANK YOU! *smooch* I don’t know if they’re a consolation gift or a late b-day prezzie or what, but I’m very excited about them.
I put Bindu down on Saturday. She was 14. She’s buried at my uncle’s place, just outside of town. I can’t really talk about it right now. I’m pretty much avoiding Twitter, Facebook, email, and my phone UNTIL I CAN FUCKING DEAL. Which I totally can’t just yet. Thank you for your well wishes.
