Tom and my weekend a few days ago was a bit different than we've had in previous weeks. Our county was doing an electronics disposal event, so we spent the day Saturday gathering up a huge load of electronics that Tom was willing to part with, hauling them down to the car, playing musical chairs with monitors and printers in the back of the PT ( Read more... )

I've taken my ADD med too late in the day for the last several days (read: slept in and was too lazy to take them til mid-morning), so they haven't been helping, and it's been REALLY obvious that they haven't been helping because my stack of "notes to self" have piled up... next to the bed, on my desk, on the fridge, on the table next to the phone ( Read more... )

I'm not any further in the job search, but I am feeling much more optimistic this week. Tom is an awesome support and is confident I'll find something. Me, too. I just have to hold on to those positive feelings and thoughts as they float by and not let their opposites take hold. Hope you're all having a good day! I'm trying to! :)

The first few years Tom and I were together, we took frequent inexpensive road trips to places within a few hours (and one cross-country for me to meet his family) to see pretty nature stuff. We went to Hot Springs in Arkansas and Blackwater Falls in West Virginia. We have in common a love of nature and exploring it. We went to Hawaii for our ( Read more... )

Abby and I took a walk up to the park at the top of Quincy Hill close to our house today. It really is amazing that it's so near where we live. It is a climb because it's even further up the hill than we are, but it's so worth it. It's so peaceful and calming up there. You can see both the Ohio and Little Kanawha Rivers, as well as the old ( Read more... )

Chloe is so much better today. She hasn't had a fit since I gave her the Capstar and is catching up on sleep. She's so much calmer now. Yay. Here she is lying on a *different* old t-shirt (just in case):

Holy crap, people! If you don't mind reading a rant about my cat's peeing habits and some (okay, a LOT of) complaints about female stuff, ( click here )

It's kinda' funny because I now have official PROOF that I'm getting old, and this is the moment that I've decided I'm going to do it gracefully, even cheerfully! I was excited and still am. Finally, evidence that puts me in a category that will allow me to stop feeling ashamed that I no longer look like a 20-year-old. I know, twisted, right? ( Read more... )

Well... besides that whole job search thing. Blech! I'm still trying to figure out the language of med trans jobs, much less actually finding a position, so that's ongoing. But BESIDES that, I've been organizing my environment and creating pretty stuff. My whole life, my family moved every 6 months or so, and then I repeated that trend as an ( Read more... )
