Well, I really wish I wrote in here more. Cuz when I do it's been so long I have this urge to completely update from the last time I wrote. But I can't do that. It's been months ( Read more... )

The other day I got that wasp-looking beetle on my shoe, and last night I got another beetle on my leg! It was a different kind of beetle - the ordinary black kind - but since it happened again and I was just standing on the porch and not tromping through the wilderness, I felt compelled to look up beetles in my animal book. I found out beetle ( Read more... )

Sounds like Grandma J is getting kookier. Mom told Susan who told me (and said not to tell anyone else cuz mom doesn't want us all worrying - which I think is stupid cuz why keeps secrets when it's within the family?) that grandma is getting paranoid and announced to mom that she is no longer answering her phone or the door because people are ( Read more... )

My nails are too long and they're clicking on the keys as I type. It's totally grody. We're going to Prosser this weekend to visit John's sister. It should be fun. Why is it that I always seem to have long nails when we're about to go out of town? Not like I can't cut them tonight but there have been a lot of times when I haven't and I'll be ( Read more... )

I dreamed the night before last that I was with Lisa and Pat and we were in an earth-like environment but the atmosphere was from Mars. I knew that aliens from Mars were among us and that was why we had to be in a Martian atmosphere, but I wasn't sure if we were actually ON Mars, or if the Martians had changed the atmosphere to suit them here on ( Read more... )

OK, so today I had my first conscious opportunity to practice voicing my opinion, even when I knew it would cause confrontation, so my goal was to not let it stop me that this person might not "like me" in the moment. Cuz you know how I've been dealing with this whole package of wanting to tell my truth at all times, even when I might come across ( Read more... )

I'm busy enough and leaning toward being in a shitty mood cuz of the weather. Also someone broke into our car last night. Actually, since the door was unlocked I can't call it a "break-in" but still, they got in, poked around and only took a utility knife. But it's still gross to think of someone coming that far into our back yard to poke around ( Read more... )

I really had expectations that the 3 weeks my manager was gone were going to be like a mini-vacation for me, but I've been working too hard the past few days. There's nothing in particular to complain about except a lot of projects all at the same time that each require intense attention to detail - something which I have little patience for. I ( Read more... )

A really cool thing happened this morning. I opened a book and let it fall open at random to see what I was meant to read and it was a story called "The Three Chairs." This was the first time I'd opened this book so I read this section just to see if I would like it. I loved it so much I was about to type the whole thing into an email for da Mo (I ( Read more... )

OK, to be fair I actually was praying for and putting energy toward the press check going smoothly and on time. I re-read my last entry and it looked like I created a self-fulfilling prophecy by being negative. But the truth is I was putting all my intentions toward it going well and then when I got the first sign of it not going well - the call to ( Read more... )
