I have new glasses, and a half-marathon to run at the end of the week. I have vague and potentially futile hopes of finishing in less than 1:44. Time to see if training and weight loss pays off ( Read more... )

I feel like a soap opera -- tune in weekly for the continued non-adventures of my life. Maybe I can rope in some advertisers and start making some dough out of this ( Read more... )

Bah, the medical profession can kiss my grits. Or ass. Gritty ass? Assy grits? Either way, I think I've gone too far. Point being, due to medical insurance switch, I'm almost certainly due to have a couple hundred in medical bills coming up. And dental stuff too. So I'm irked ( Read more... )

Bleh. Am sick. Sometime soon there needs to be much doing of taxes and filling out of forms that requires a non-public computer, and some grocery shopping/bread making/obtaining of other food provisions. But today I think is reserved for hiding in bed and reading until I have to go to work again. I guess I could call in to work and then staying ( Read more... )

I have to admit, I have a lot of fun shopping for things I need at my new apartment, but the spending of the money -- it freaks me out.

I can probably pick up ( Read more... )

The hot and sour soup I made today turned out quite good. With a few slight modifications, I think I can make it perfect, at least by my not so demanding standards. Most impressive of all to me was the fact that it looked like what I think hot and sour soup is supposed to look like ( Read more... )

OK, that's not really the subject ( Read more... )

Well, it's almost here! OK, I have to admit, I'm more excited about having a paid day off of work than I am about Christmas itself, which probably says something deep and meaningful about me, like that I either need to find a new job or more people to hang out with. It's old news now ( Read more... )

I'm happy that my head doesn't hurt today. I think I've had a mild headache for the past two days straight, probably something to do with my diet -- cheese fries, while yummy, have consequences later on for my tummy and apparently my head in some connected way ( Read more... )
