control the storm

So... three things. I had a full-blown temper tantrum last night. Sometimes you just need to throw a pillow and cry. I feel a lot better for it. Yoga Meltdown level 2 may kill me, but in all th...

closer to the edge

So, I am not so good with not knowing/being in control of what's going on. It's mildly distressing. My nightly prayers have turned into a mess of verbal flailing and whimpering. I'm so ready for ...

here's to the vultures

My mom's family is fighting hardcore right now. One of my uncles threatened to literally fight my brother, but I think Joey disarmed him. Probably. Either way, as I informed my aunt tonight when ...


length warning On Friday, I hauled down to Charleston. I didn't go to work. I called in sick, on account of Don'tgiveashititis. I talked to my parents on the phone again and wished my mom a happ...

automatic

The editing thing is going swimmingly. It's a fun challenge, since some of the translations come in very sloppy and rough. I look forward to working up to doing full translations. Aww yeah. I did...

lost in the echo

PMS hit with the delicacy and concern of a drunk driver in a dump truck. I have spent all week... sleeping, mostly. No joke. Fatigue is a bitch. I probably need more iron and protein to compensat...

it's raining balls

Like the balls that you metaphorically juggle, not testicles. Because that would be really, really weird. And gross. I'm supposed to be studying for my Russian final tomorrow morning, but I can'...


Got back from Charleston this evening. The last time I was this depressed was when I used to have to put him back on a plane to a warzone. It keeps getting worse. This literally can't keep happen...

isn't it enough

Continuing on from the last entry... Thursday: I said fuck this and took a sick day. I didn't get out of bed for good until about 5:30. Hooray, Benadryl! It was wonderful. The stuffiness had per...

shatter me

Lzzy Hale + Lindsey Stirling = <3 <3 <3 repeat one for days. This is clearly A Week. It is a comedy of errors. If this were a book or a movie, it would be deemed implausible. Monday:...

think i'm sick

So, I just realized (even though I mentioned it in the last entry) that I have a race in 10 days. And yet, on Tuesday I ate nothing but junk food. On Wednesday, I was so over-caloried that I was ...

blood gems and gold

Thursday night, I got a fiance. :) YAY. I was full of delight and hugs and left work after class to go racing home. Friday evening, I got a BFF. The weekend commenced with silliness, zero wedding...

remedy

This entry is to say that Alexe is a baller and discovered that 30 Seconds to Mars/Linkin Park wasn't as sold out/overpriced as usual (these things fluctuate), and after some secondary market dig...

burn with me

Oh, PMS, finish your deed and get out of here. You're killing me. I have one month before I start job-applying. One month. I can do this. One month. I prowled indeed.com and wasn't overly enthus...

[gratuitous pics]

It's not kosher to squeal about weddings and engagements on social media for fear of making the singles' feelings hurt, so I will blurt things here. Fair warning. Anyway, I came across these pic...

april rain

It's not April yet. That is irrelevant. First, read this: The Blerch and magical running. Make sure you take note of the last page. I found this yesterday while at work. I squeed a bit: Blerch...


This song is stupidly cute. The only thing I like more than the song is randomly encountering it on the radio on the way home from work: Still Into You -Paramore Also, the big story is back one,...

storytime

I drove down Friday afternoon. It was Aimee's 21st birthday celebration, and Ali's 30th, so Aimee, older sister Kara, friend Chris (responsible for wrangling Aimee), Ali, her husband Dmitri, Aaro...

welp.

Full story later. :)

a part of me

Aaron said a thing tonight. I was griping because I don't bruise easily, and even when I do, I discolor even more rarely. I have a smattering of bruises on my legs, but since they're not lit up,...

[Badass Dash 7k]

The roughest, most masochistic element of these is waking up early on Saturday morning and making myself eat a full breakfast. I don't like eating breakfast to begin with. My stomach's not awake ...

let's get louder

Oh my. This editor is... new and strange. But I am determined to be mature and not let my anti-change histrionics win. I've realized since the work Facebook ban for ludicrous reasons (did you kn...


March 09, 2014

the race

I think part of my survival strategy is that I will be generous with my sick days. I'm going to hang onto my vacation days (because that might let me leave earlier), but sick days? Pfft. It's all...

miss nothing

I don't like who my job is turning me into. You can blame the eternal winter, if you want--I usually start spiraling downhill a bit in February. But it's just... this freaking job. I'm impatien...

let's go there

Today started with a brown-out at work. The official statement through the list serve was, "A power outage has affected some 20 buildings in central and south campus. Facilities Management perso...


Book Description

13 months of shenanigans. Probably.

Coming up: mud/obstacle run training, bellydancing, rock concerts, Russian language class, job searching, moving to a better city that happens to contain my boyfriend fiancé, an epic family reunion, wedding engagement, wedding planning, and associated hijinks.
