so while i stopped posting to this acct almost exactly 18 months ago, i never figured i would give it up for good ( Read more... )

it took me about an hour this morning to realise it was my birthday. not that i forgot the day, of course, i just didn't see anything with the date 3-3 to kind of stick out as a little reminder. then i saw an odd number of new messages in my facebook inbox and it became clear. aha! 29 years old today ( Read more... )

oddly enough, insomnia now is the norm so i have no problem getting up at 4am and puttering around for an hour til i actually need to start getting ready for my day. ugh, how sad. i'm hoping i'll be able to sleep better during my visit to sheffield. otherwise i might just drive my husband crazy ( Read more... )

wow, it's been several months since i last posted. now it's mid-january and it feels like life is on pause for awhile. work is incredibly busy and stressful. i'm not sleeping well. then again, it seems like all i do is try to sleep, commute to work, eat, shower, try to sleep again. it doesn't make for an interesing life, hence the lack of updates ( Read more... )

i would love to post a photo but my lowest-level account doesn't seem to allow it. =(

it's my last day at work for two weeks, my first and probably only vacation this year! i doubt it will be very restful though. if anything, it will be more stressful and sleep-depriving than my normal work schedule. all the flights and time-zone changes should wreak havoc with my inner clock. still it should be awesome to see old friends and family ( Read more... )

two weeks today til i fly to mpls for the start of wedding festivities. everything has fallen into place nicely so far, no crises or major panics yet either. i'm feeling a little more positive about the whole thing than a month ago. i think once i'm there and actually seeing everyone, it will feel more real. it's seemed so abstract and far away ( Read more... )

the english premiership season begins today! i'm so excited to see arsenal in action! hope we can keep more than half the team fit this year.
