In which there’s an actual reason for it. The short version: I went to the gynecologist yesterday, and it turns out I have a giant fibroid in my uterus and need to have surgery within the month. The long version contains way TMI and (to protect those of you who don’t want to know any […]
In which being female sometimes sucks. So it’s that time again. I feel like a balloon, and I keep having mild panic symptoms. Any minute now the faucet should open and I’ll be bleeding like a stuck pig. Walking to and from work for the next couple of days should prove to be interesting. Since […]
In which I’m very nearly on the road again. I’ve repacked the jeep with the heavy things forward, so it actually has a little bit of play in the suspension now. I’ve held out a half dozen boxes to be shipped so I can see out the windows. I’ve even Windexed all the windows and […]
In which I’m so lazy I have nothing to blog about. Today I managed to bathe, look for work online (I applied at three ISPs!), and make black bean soup. Which is way more activity than I engaged in yesterday. My mom’s house is so comfy and mellow that it’s hard to get up the […]
In which we ask, “Wyoming?” and answer, “Hey, why not!” I should be out of here by midday tomorrow, unless I screw around too much with my remaining chores, which include visiting the farm one last time and doing extremely tedious shit with many cardboard boxes: loading some into the jeep, getting rid of some, […]
In which I looooooooooooooooooooooove gadgets, omgwtfbbq!! While I was in Portland my bro-there, Jay-rob, and I exchanged iPods. He gave me his 5th gen iPod Video, and I gave him my older iPod Photo (plus Firewire cable, charger, and FM transmitter) because I didn’t need it any more after he gave me his. (Because I […]
In case you’re curious what the hell I’m doing during the next few weeks. Sept 13 – 18: Fly to Portland Oregon, drive to Walla Walla Washington with my brother, celebrate grandma’s birthday with the family. Back to PDX, return to Iowa. Sept 19 – 22: Tune up the jeep, organize and pack my belongings. […]
In which my time is limited. It occurred to me this morning that I only have so many opportunities left to have Indian take-out for lunch. I don’t remember there being any Indian restaurants in Walla Walla (there’s Thai and sushi, though!), and I don’t have high hopes that my grandma will be up for […]
In which I tell you a story about my sordid past. Tonight I’m going to a birthday party at TiRi’s with this cute kid I met the other day. He’s nineteen. I watched him try to seduce a drunken redneck who thought he was a girl, and the look on the kid’s face when he […]
In which it’s all getting all bittersweet and shit because I’m getting ready to move away. The weather is perfect today, breezy and cool and gorgeous. Bindu and I walked up to Mi-T-Mart so I could treat myself to a Frappucino out of the cooler. Iowa’s showing off for me, I think: Look, I can […]
