Rejection? Moving on
It’s been quiet around here. Not literally, of course. I’m burning the candle at both ends again… yes the term started, on Monday. I think I already see new gray hairs. But I’ve been doing a lot of running around, trying to organize things for a new addition to our household (No, I am not [...]
Househunting and snot
I woke up when I was supposed to be arriving at work this morning. That kind of threw me off, starting my day, staring at my phone, wondering why it forgot to wake me up. Oh. Yeah. It was in the living room when I was sleeping. And I never set the alarm. Go me. [...]
My ass hurts
But I just got home from my first Night Ride! There was movie stop (those are all the super dark photos), the disco stop (the blurry photos) and doughtnuts at the end. We chatted strangers up, my chain fell off, we passed people wearing outrageous costumes, and had a lot of fun. We are totally [...]
Because the internet hates me
So, I’ve not had the opportunity to get on the internets at school as I had planned. The wireless system isn’t the best and since I wiped the Mac, I need to get my laptop all shiny with the network. I hate IT. So, I haven’t done a thing to get on the system and [...]
There’s no place like home
I finally got home around 11 last night. Our flight arrived in Seattle at 6, and then my angelic husband drove up to Tacoma to pick me up. Alexis wasn’t in any shape to drive. It felt lovely to sleep in my own home, to actually sleep, not just to nod off for a few [...]
JFK is the 7th level of hell
I’m still here. Freezing, tired, unloved by my airline (we won’t get off the ground until 9:30am), and in dire need of a good shower and some understanding. And btw, don’t try to skeep on the floor – it just doesn’t work. I should have known we were in trouble when the gatekeepers in Charlotte [...]
Can I board now?
Lex and I are sitting in Charlotte’s Airport, unsure as to when we are leaving. Due to inclement weather @ JFK, they have grounded all inbound flights for an additional hour and a half. This very well could effect our connection, because we only had a half hour layover @ JFK. Cross your fingers, because [...]
Keep god out of greeting cards
Let this be a warning…I’m on my “I can’t fucking stand self-important Christians who tread on hypocritical moral high ground” soapbox… Why? Because it’s pre-coffee time, I forgot my breakfast and I pissed at the world that I had to get out of bed this morning. Only someone who is painfully idiotic or completly unaware [...]
My fireplace smells like stinky cloves
That was the first thing I thought this morning when I woke up. How vile? How nasty? How could I smell or taste anything beyond that stench? How in the fuck am I going to get through residency without smoking? But my friend from work is quitting and I am trying to be supportive. And [...]
Panic
I don’t have enough time to breathe, finish my reading (I spent WAY too much time on that fucking Marie Antionette biography), and finish my writing. I’m trying to make sure I have time for everything, and I do, I just have to stop spinning my wheels and STFU. We took the Max all over [...]
The E has landed
The flight out wasn’t a traumatizing as I thought it would be. I had a nice space between me and my next seat-mate. He read Harry Potter and napped. We shared the empty seat between us, he used it for storage, and I let my knees rest on the seat. I stared out the window [...]
Signing off
It’s time to take my shower, pack the rest of my things and go to dinner with my huzzie. I know I sound like an uber-sap, but I will miss him while I’m gone. But I look forward to reigniting my creative juices. I’m not jazzed about the plane though. At least, as of right [...]
and this is where it gets better
I fell asleep at 8:30 this morning (I just got up, and it’s just after 12). I know that sounds awful, but if I could show you the colors of my mood from yesterday to today — you would be impressed. I think I can call myself a nice emerald green. Yesterday, I felt more [...]
Colorado Dreaming
Just so you know, my brother is fine. I didn’t state that as the reason for our visit before, because honestly, I didn’t know what we would find when we got here. He’s a lot like me sometimes. We disappear for a while, out of communication with the world, just… well …. because. He’s in [...]
Coming..and then going
You should see the sky as it truly is. In a place where the shadows of the trees truly are darker than the heavens. Do you really understand how bright the night sky should be? How the stars spread like sand across the darkness and how they swim in milky swaths of light… you should [...]
Go ahead.. drool
This is where I am going this weekend. I am using this site as inspiration so I can get this part of my novel finished. When I am done with my homework, I can go out and play.
And I would walk 500 miles….
Kudos to you if you know that song. It’s cheesy, and fun. I did walk over 5 miles last night, and not because I thought it would be fun excersice. No, I locked my keys in Vader. On my way home from work, I ran by Starbucks on S Orange. I was craving a mocha [...]
It’s going to take a long time to get home
That is a plane on I-4. See that street on the left? I take that every time I go home. It’s going to take a while for me to get home.
Vignettes
Sixty miles or more: Daytona Beach, Lakeland and Cape Canaveral are less than sixty miles from our house. If you drive to Gainseville, sixy miles, and you are already half way there. That is what we rode last weekend. Thirty miles on Saturday and another thirty on Sunday. I would like to increase that to [...]
“It sounds like a woman-thing to me”
What in the hell is a “woman-thing” supposed to sound like? Gawd!! Some of the things I hear at work make me want to run away screaming. And have you ever noticed that some voices just piss you off? There are two here that annoy the shit out of me. I turn up my iPod [...]
