I am finding it very difficult getting back into my normal life. I can't seem to be able to sleep past 9:00, and around 7:00 every evening I start getting very tired. Right now I'm struggling to stay awake in the hope that I might sleep in past noon tomorrow. That's just the way I do things when I don't have school, work, etc ( Read more... )

Oh my Lord, car troubles again. This time it freaked me out somewhat. So I was coming home from Kate's house. It is about 9:15pm, completely dark and pouring down rain, and I'm out in the middle of the woods closing the gate to the road going to Kate's house. I try to put it into first. The gearshift bends way past where it is supposed to and ( Read more... )

Well, we're back from Paris. I suppose I'll do a more detailed post later. To sum it up at the moment though: we had a lot of fun but, like Christina said, it was not a vacation. Vacation to me implies relaxation, or camping, or Hawaii, or the beach, and this particular trip was anything but. Traveling abroad can be tough. It was hard work, ( Read more... )

Shit, I can't believe I'm doing this. We've been planning it for something like a year, but I keep having these moments where I seem to step aside and take stock of what I'm doing. Then I have a little panic attack, but it doesn't last too long. I come to my senses and realize that people do this all the time. It isn't going to Paris that ( Read more... )

Sounds good to me.

Battlestar Galactica season three premiere. Holy FRAKKING shit. I don't even know where to begin, so I'm not going to try to get into what I LOVED about this episode. I'll just say that it was totally worth the wait. Seven months never felt so long, but it was totally worth it. Excuse me, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed right now.

Whenever I'm getting ready to leave home for a long period, I inevitably go through a phase in which I consider every possible way I could avoid leaving. It's kind of like "pre-homesickness". I'm going through that right now. As eager as I was three days ago to go back to Ellensburg, I'm now struggling to make the most of every day I have left ( Read more... )

I received the electronic tickets for the trip to Paris in my e-mail this morning. It didn't really hit me until that moment what I'd done. We're actually going back! When we first started talking about the possibility of doing this trip, it seemed so unreal because of everything that could possibly go wrong. There's nothing that could stop us ( Read more... )

We got back fifteen minutes ago, roughly three days ahead of schedule. I am awfully tired.

Today was my last day at The Home Depot. It was very strange. It was kind of like the last day of school, except that no one else was leaving. I had the 12:00-9:00 shift, which is my favorite shift because I get to sleep in, and it isn't horribly late when I get home. The store has a different feel to it after 8:00pm or so. It starts slowing ( Read more... )
