Week’s end

Well, I don’t work again until Monday. Doesn’t mean that the stress is any less prominent. I have a million and one things to do before next week, and while cleaning is one of them, it’s the last thing I want to have to deal with. My crafts stuff is simply all over the place, and I really can’t put any of it up right now because I need it for presents and such. At any rate, I’ve checked out a Continue reading →

Busy day!

Thanks to everyone for their birthday wishes! I also liked all the cards I got (the hot dog from Sarah was fascinating, hehe), and special thanks to Aunt Pamela for the wallet and to Mom for all the neat knitting stuff. I’ll definitely be trying to figure out those double-pointed needles, and I’m already using the regular ones you gave me. I tried one of the simple patterns in the booklet, but Continue reading →

30

Well, it’s official: I am now thirty years old. Unofficially, I’ve just been lazy and telling people I’m thirty already so I’d be the same age as Ian, but now it’s actually true. Crazy. At any rate, longer post about it later . . . maybe. I’ve been hit with some insomnia lately and I may just come home and conk out if I can to try and catch up for the past week of sleeplessness. Later!

Well crap

All right, my sinuses have been kicking my ass for the past couple weeks. First it started out with fatigue and some scary lymph node activity (seriously, who put lymph nodes so close to the breasts? Find a lump in that area and it’s cause for a good week’s worth of panic–which is pretty much exactly what I did), and now it’s converted to the typical headaches/scratchy throat/ Continue reading →

No, the title doesn’t say anything; it’s merely a two-handed slamming of random keys that happens to look rather like it might mean something. I suppose even subconsciously, I can’t help but smack vowels even when making an attempt at meaninglessness. I just couldn’t think of anything better to type as the title. Honestly, lately, I haven’t been able to think of much to even Continue reading →

Distracted

Wow, has it really been all that long since I last posted? Where has the time gone? Just the other day (uh, and now that I type that I realize it was the second of this month), I was bemoaning the fact that it was September already and that August had disappeared so quickly that I barely had time to register that it was even August in the first place. Now it’s September, and the month is Continue reading →

Mind elsewhere

Today has been long. As usual, I’m having another spell of bad sleeping. Not unusual. For me, insomnia often goes hand-in-hand with nightmares, and last night’s was nothing short of disturbing . . . not that any of my nightmares are anything but deeply disturbing. This one, at least, was screwed up enough to even make the husband cringe when I relayed it to him. Long story Continue reading →

EEEEEEEEEEK!!

The past week has been a busy one. Last Friday, Katie and the kids swung by the Jasper Public Library to look at my murals and chit-chat a bit while they were down pestering the parents. They were having a cookout at the parents’ later, but I worked until 5 and knew I’d be tired by the time I got home. Still, awesome to see them. I haven’t seen them since Rook’s graduation. Friday night Continue reading →

Late night or early morning?

So I know I’ve mentioned the insomnia recently (seeing as how I’ve barely posted, it’d have to have been the prior post), and the situation really hasn’t changed much. Yesterday I worked until eight, and afterwards, I chatted with Ian for about an hour before giving up on consciousness and conking out. I woke up a few times, but finally around two, I got up since I was wide awake and Continue reading →
