$%(^&$ Mosquitoes!
I cannot express my hatred of mosquitoes in words. Only primal screams will do. We were out on the deck of a restaurant Friday night. I was wearing jeans and sandals. During the day on Saturday, I...
View ArticleSleep update
This won’t turn into a health blog, I promise, but when bug bites and lack of sleep are the only things on my mind, well, I’m sorry. Last night was just as bad as the night before, even though I didn’t...
View ArticleBut I want everything I want when I want it!
Application has been delivered. No response yet. But I can be patient. (Right? Sure I can.) I would just like to have a signed lease. I don’t think I’m asking too much.
View ArticleEh
I am working. It’s almost 10. At night. Why am I working? That’s a very good question. And it doesn’t have a very good answer. And actually, I’m done working, so maybe it doesn’t matter. Maybe...
View ArticleSingle-minded and annoyed to boot
You know how when one thing in your life is acting up (it’s usually work), you can’t think about anything else? It’s this constant irritation (and it’s usually work), and much as you’d like to think...
View ArticleCold hands make typing difficult
My day has been unsatisfying, I think because I don’t really like my book. I like it okay, but I would prefer to like it more. It’s a collection of steampunk short stories, some of which I like...
View ArticlePartly the clothes, partly the lifestyle
I have expressed my love for Athleta before, but it was reinforced yesterday. I took the day off to shop (and relax), and, as is my wont at that store, I tried on nearly everything they had. I did...
View ArticleThe last post about baking for a while
I know I’ve been talking about baking and cookies and stuff a lot, but I promise this is the last one for a while. It’s just I keep trying new things! Today, I made a ton of gluten-free oatmeal...

Limited choices
My bookshelf is getting shorter. That’s both good and bad. Good: I’m getting through the books I kept because I wanted to read them sooner rather than later (or never). Bad: I have fewer books to...
View ArticleI should stop agonizing over not liking a book
I’ve had a physical copy of one of John Hodgman’s books for quite some time (More Information Than You Require). It’s one of the books I saved out of the original donation pile with the intention of...
View ArticleNo more panic
The panic is gone (and may have been exaggerated for effect). I’m just in how-do-I-get-myself-out-of-all-these-work-things mode. I packed last night (mostly). Ate some fruit (a lot of fruit – more...
View ArticleSoggy routine
I get up, work, go for a long bike ride. While I’m out, I get rained on, and I see a wild animal. Today, it poured for seven miles, and I saw a fox. This is my life now. I miss running, not least...
View ArticleMy doom
It is my fate in life to always have songs I don’t really know stuck in my head. It’s always the songs that I know one line of, or if I’m lucky, maybe the whole chorus. Right now, it’s “Do you know...
View ArticleI don’t want to fight, but I’m not going to give in
Guys, I can’t deal with work. I feel like all I’ve done for the last two weeks is work and sleep (and complain about work). That’s not entirely true (I didn’t work last weekend), but it’s mostly...
View ArticleWhy haven’t I learned this lesson?
You know what I hate? I hate when I think Oh, I’ll write about that. I’ll just jot down a note so I don’t forget, and then I DON’T jot down that note and I can’t remember what it was. Seriously, I...
View ArticleThe nothing at the end of the week
The last two days have been…something. Some good (I’m running more than 4 miles again – YAY – and I’m done with physical therapy – DOUBLE YAY), some sucky (my nose hurts and work has been...
View ArticleHow is this STILL a problem for me?!?
I just don’t get it. We have lived in Oregon, on the west coast, in the Pacific time zone, for ten months now, and I STILL get thrown by the time zone difference with the east coast. STILL. Like, it...
View ArticleEarly bedtimes are a must this week
I am sore and tired and sore and tired and sore and tired and can I have another day off please? Yesterday’s workout caught up to me this morning. I was going to go to a 9:15 yoga class this morning,...
