I came back to my office after my morning class and wiggled the mouse to stop the screen saver and this is what I saw:

Yeah, I feel the love.

Random thoughts before I go dive into my thesis: I can’t remember what it’s like to not have arthritis. I don’t know what it’s like to walk down several flights of stairs without thinking about the way it makes my kneecaps feel. I don’t know anymore what days without at least some minor aching are. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have to think about my joints before starting a Continue reading →

I’ve decided that I like paper. I mean, anyone coming into my office and taking one look at my desk would swear I was addicted to piles of paper, but just piling up paper’s not the fun stuff to do with it. A little while back, I put together a little town made up of paper. It took me a couple days, but it sure was fun just cutting it out and scoring it and bending it and holding it together Continue reading →

Gory boring TV story. Green staplers and Dasani caps. Can a juvenile hawk carry a squirrel? Can a squirrel ignore a juvenile hawk while burying acorns? Paper hearts and sticker stars. Boo! Someday I’ll get an air mattress. Silver markers underwear waterbedhead. Printer jams mean less popcorn. Grey books and white books and red books mean foreign words are ever present.

I think that I technically forgot to eat lunch today. I had some doughnuts for breakfast, so that was some sugar early on, then I munched on pretzels and an apple when my stomach decided it was hungry, probably around lunchtime; I don’t rememeber. I had a soda in there somewhere too. I’m not overly concerned. It’s not like I wouldn’t live for a couple months on my body fat anyway. Continue reading →

Yesterday in Univ 101 while talking about resources available on campus, I was talking about tutoring and how there’s no magic wand to wave to fix their grades if they come in a week before finals without having bought the book or having gone to only half the classes. I got to thinking about how funny the idea of a magic wand would be for the office since we already have the “Pick Continue reading →

I remember the first time I discovered blinking. I never know if other people have these realizations about their bodies or not, but I had quite a few when I was little like the time I discovered that I could hold my breath and sort of control it. But for right now, blinking. The first time I realized that I blinked and that I could control it, I was in Grandma Nolan’s living room Continue reading →
