This should sound familiar: I've been far too busy with work and a cold to post or do almost anything social for almost a month now. This cold has been the devil in that it hasn't ever been severe, but it's stuck around since Canadian Thanksgiving with mucus almost continually bothering some part of my head. I'm starting to fear it won't ever go ( Read more... )

I'm only posting after my busiest day at work yet so that I can put that I'm listening to Harry and the Potters, which I got out of the library for kicks. Current lyrics: "I'd rather take on another Hungarian Horntail than have to find a date."

Work is still exhausting, not really getting easier now because I'm learning a whole batch of new stuff, but I'm still optimistic that I'll eventually like it. One of the owners today said I had a good attitude and that she thinks I'll do well so that's good. I'm still too tired to comment, but I promise I'm reading and thinking of comments that I ( Read more... )

Finally posting now, and then hope to go comment on many posts by friends. Such a busy week. Last day of work was Tuesday, at which there were cupcakes in my honor! Wednesday was a catch-up day and then yesterday I started at Kidsbooks. It was not much fun because I get a super-quick training and then sent straight to a cash register. I had to have ( Read more... )

I just got offered a job working at Kidsbooks! Reasons why this is awesome ( Read more... )

Am so behind on life. Got home from a week and a half at home (yes, that's two homes) on Sunday. Such a good trip that I didn't want to come back. It was weird though that after graduation most friends went off to school, of course, but everything else stayed pretty much the same. Now a bunch of my friend's parents/family friends are moving and I'm ( Read more... )

Franz Ferdinand is coming back in September! They were awesome in December and after we got their new album I was hoping to get to sing along with all the new songs and now I can :) Tickets go on sale Friday at 10am, when I'm working, so I'll have to get Derek to buy them. So excited ( Read more... )

I have awesome friends. That's part of why I got so down: I was missing my awesome friends who were/are far away. Things have been getting consistently better for the last little while, but I still have this nagging that I'm not a good enough friend, that I'm not honest with people, that things won't ever really get better but will get much worse.

I keep meaning to post, and planning to post, and then just not doing it. Life in general has felt really rough for the past 10ish months, despite many good bits, and it's funny because whenever people ask me how I'm doing I still automatically answer "good" without thinking, no matter how things are going. I'm not sure if this is because I'm a ( Read more... )

So the last time I posted I had a bladder infection. It turned into a kidney infection that resulted in two early morning trips to the emergency room and lots of powerful antibiotics. Last week I was feeling better and trying not to get too tired by all the extra hours I was working to make up for staying home sick. Then on Monday the infection ( Read more... )
