The Coming Week

I’m exhausted, and need to get my ass to bed at a decent hour. I will be rising at 5:00 all week so that I can put in 12 hour days Monday through Wednesday. I leave Thursday night for school. It’s been 6 months and this will be my last term before graduation. Can you [...]

It’s hot

I hate heat. I hate sweating. I hate that I forgot my water bottle and I had to stop on the way home. But, you know what? I biked home. That’s what matters. Now I need a cold dinner and to get to work. Have a happy monday.

Love the 70′s – a whine

I spoke with Calie last night. We have a Sunday ritual where we discuss the previous week’s activities and pump each other up for the coming deadline. I whined about our hellish hot streak with no AC. For those of you who live in the South, AC is a given. No one in their right [...]

Meetings, and bad weather

I think Summer forgot to come to the upper NW, because the high was 56 yesterday. I’m not bitching, it’s just wierd to think that the East Coast is boiling in 100 degree weather and I am as cool as a cucumber, with happy sweaters and thick socks. Today’s blessing – meetings all day, all [...]

I’m wearing mascara

I didn’t sleep last night. I was intensely nervous about this interview. It went well, but I realized late last night that this is a placement agency. They have positions offered, but there’s no guarantee that I’ll get the ones I was hoping for. In the mean time, they promised me temp work. I’m not [...]

Oregon storms

This kind of thing has been on the news. Don’t worry. We are fine. It got windy a little and rained for a few days, but we didn’t have any problems. Not even lights flickering. Actually, today is gorgeous. It’s 59 right now. The sky is clear and it should get up to 60 or [...]

Still watching out

I read this today, and it worried me. I remember (I and miss) the suddenness of Florida storms, how they erupt in a moment and either bathe the world in water or tear the houses down. The rains here are nothing short of gentle and kind. Misty and almost mysterious, they don’t assault the senses [...]

Do you remember?

She changed the South

Hurricane Hunters Fly Into Swirling System

It’s starting…. is this a bad sign? Man.. I won’t miss this shit when we move.

Where I used to live

I lived in Enterprise Alabama when I was a kid. I hated that place. It felt really small. But they got hit with tornadoes yesterday, and one of them tore through the downtown area, killing 8 high school students. Send good vibes up that way if you will. I may have hated the place, but [...]

14 Dead in Florida Storms

I knew the storms were bad, but not this bad. I heard the thunder, but thought I was dreaming. The lightening woke me up. Nature’s strobe light. For a while, I tried to find a rhythm in the tapping on the window. It was still raining when the alarm sounded. We heard about two deaths [...]

This is….

This is not Winter

Rain Showers 80° | 67° Saturday T-storms 79° | 64° Sunday T-storms 77° | 64° Monday T-storms 77° | 55° Tuesday Mostly Cloudy 67° | 47°

The sound of falling rain

For almost 10 minutes, while I contemplated the sensation of my last cloves in my chest, I listened to the tap-tap of rain on my sycamore. His leaves changed suddenly this year. For two weeks he has rained brown, crunchy leaves. Some cling to nearly naked branches. My camera longs to document this fall, but [...]

It rained this morning

I planned on running before dawn. Running shoes, comfy socks, headphones, Nano, sports bra, the dry-weave shirt and a pair of mid-calf running pants – all piled high upon David’s dresser. Before I fell into the bathroom light, while still enveloped in the darkness and my dreams, I thought David and I had a conversation [...]

Did you know it snowed?

It did. They said so, so it must be true. When I left class last night, it was wicked cold. The wind whipped my growing hair and stole the warmth from my skin. It was great!

Rollins Closed Tomorrow!

Due to heavy rain and winds expected from Tropical Storm Ernesto, Rollins College will be closed on Wednesday, August 30.  All classes in all programs, including Arts & Sciences, the Hamilton Holt School and Crummer’s Early Advantage MBA and Professional MBA Orientations, have been canceled. All students, faculty and staff are encouraged to turn off [...]

Mr. Ernesto

It’s a pretty storm. Not as intimidating as our other ones, but it is pretty. I think all storms are beautiful, even the ones that scare the shit out of me. He’s not tracking to smoosh us in Orlando right now. That’s a good thing. I have class. I can’t miss it because I have [...]

Chris is coming to visit?

Here is his projected path. It’s been a quiet season so far, thankfully. August 13th is coming rapidly. It’s the anniversary of Charlie’s little visit. I would like Chris to respect my stress and stay somewhere out in the Atlantic. I can’t wait until I don’t have to worry about these damn storms anymore…. Keep… [...]

motherfuckin meds

I called into work again. I feel bad for it, but I had no business driving this morning. When I’m awake I feel better, but the challenge is trying to wake up. I snapped again last night, spent the early morning hours watching my recorded episodes of 60 Minutes and CSI (all except Miami, which [...]
