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 it’s perfect and I love it so much! We got a kitchen table (from an old BMI co-worker of mine, who offered it via Instagram when I posted we’d gotten this house to rent and needed furniture — thanks, Mike!) and it’s in the kitchen now and it’s exactly the right size and […]
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 just don’t enjoy Facebook anymore because it’s full of disinformation and depression and conspiracy theories and none of that’s any fun. Just logged into FB for the first time in a couple of weeks and my last post turned into the biggest conversation on my page in years. I find this funny, […]
In which I’ve moved to Oregon, a state I haven’t lived in since the early 90’s! We found a house in Milton (or is it Freewater?) and have moved into it. It’s an eight-block walk from the cheese shop for me, and I’m grateful that it cuts his commute in half. Big old tree in […]
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 where DOES the time go? It’s September?! I’ve been at the cheese shop for a month and a half now and really enjoy it. My friend got a job there too, so I have someone to ride to work with now that my beloved is working at the casino and can’t chauffeur me […]
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 […]
