state of my head

As it turns out, I went into the OBGYN Wednesday morning to inquire about the change in my insurance. Not only do they still accept my insurance, but they got me in for an ultrasound within the h...

beauty and rage

I’ve been listening to that album a lot lately. It has to do with creative stuff. I just needed a title. I found two pennies today. Again. The last three days have been, essentially, what it was ...


Turns out when things change in a big way, I’m really bad at updating. It all feels too big, and I can’t just sit and write it out because I’m either too busy managing it or too busy enjoying bei...

the kids aren't okay

I had a lady doctor appointment today. I’m off the Lo Loestrin as of yesterday because of the uncontrolled high blood pressure. I’ve been struggling with allergies since Monday and I’m not allowe...

endless night

The research clinic, bless their lovely hearts, sent me my lab results! I have the most nerdy joy in looking at lab reports. (I minored in pre-med for the lols, remember? BIOLOGY LOVE.) There wer...

[notes]

(This isn’t an entry. This is me taking notes on a sermon for lack of a notebook.) I miss Waumba Land. I miss singing and getting chills and everyone singing their hearts out. “We tend to hold on...

feeling 22

…if by 22 I mean, staying up too late to listen to new albums. Anyway, just a few things today: I forgot my running shoes and clothes at home, so I slept in my car during lunch. It’s either run o...

here come the vultures

I have recovered from my exhaustion! So much so that I ran 5k’s on both Wednesday and Thursday during lunch! And it was hot, and sweaty, and fabulous, and I really need to get some baby wipes a...

i will fight to forget

GO SEE THE ACTUAL WEDDING ENTRY ONE BACK. THIS IS ABOUT FALLOUT. Okay, so to be super blunt right up front, I was a virgin and Aaron is hung like a horse and we have been having logistical issues...

mr. & mrs.

That is, in fact, a song title and I didn’t have to look it up. Group 1 Crew. So there. We have been married for a week. It’s a very strange word, married. It doesn’t feel any different, honestly...

of beauty and rage

I just want to gripe that I might be the only person I know who gains weight when she’s sick. And by gains weight, I mean ends up eating lots of crunchy starches and carbonated beverages to contr...

let the story begin

Today, I went to a gynecologist for an annual exam. Which is a really nice way of saying peeing in a cup and getting fondled and penetrated by stuff. My period was just ending, so I was apologeti...

lights in the dark

Dear friends and family, Yes. I’m a little scared. I’m getting married in 15 days. 14 now, technically. Two weeks from now is my wedding date. It’s a big change. It’s a big emotional development....

yours again

My aunt called me while I was working late tonight, the only person up front. It was dark and raining, and I talked to her about wedding stuff while I finished up a billing spreadsheet. She doesn...

not in it for the fun of it

I have this reasonably calm assurance that as usual, we are doing everything wrong, but it will come out perfectly right. Unfortunately, that sucks/is inconvenient for some other people, but it’s...

[today, i saved a doggie]

(This entry blatantly stolen from my accounting to friends via Gmail this afternoon.) “So it’s 39 degrees right now, windchill of 32 (0 C), and dropping as the cold front passes by. Everything is...

i would still belong to you

Dear Prosebox, I am here. I have the new job, where I was promoted two weeks in. That’s got to be a standing record. I go permanent full-time sometime in June. It’s pretty decent. I get to be an ...

this is a wakeup call

Why the hell is everything white? I hate glaring white space. Will be back with entry when my text box isn’t two lines big and nothing but glaring white space.

canceling the apocalypse

I write a lot about the struggles, but right now– We’re (actively) crazy about each other, full of excited chills and impatience to get married, and completely happy. And it is good. We are those...

what have you done now

Last week, I sent a thank-you email to the engineering firm that had interviewed me right before Christmas. I promptly received a miserably apologetic email from the HR rep who had phone intervie...
