Ugh. I am just a bit nauseous; it was much worse a few hours ago, but now it is just bad enough that I don't want to go anywhere or do anything. I guess I needed a day to just sit around and read...?

I just realized that I check everyone else's livejournals daily - often more than once - but haven't updated in a friggin' long time. Don't stop writing, people, this is a big chunk of my social life! (Wow...yipes ( Read more... )

Who has a bitching job that is only five minutes from home and actually pays real monies? Oh yeah, it's me! I totally got the South Portland job, which proves (conclusively) that I am awesome.
