So on Monday, I got called at work by a lady who works with one of my oldest, kindest, most loyal friends. By "oldest" I mean I've known her since we were both 13 years old and just starting high school, but her physical age was the same as mine, far too young to be considered a normal time to be found dead in her home, from some unknown ailment.

The overwhelming choice of words to express how I'm feeling right now is, as it happens, "overwhelmed ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I got a lot done, though part of me is still upset over what didn't get done, due to hours of not knowing what happened to my wallet (I was in a panic thinking it was left at a Starbucks and stolen, but no, the "thief" was the backside of our couch cushions at home). What I DID get done was have coffee and catch up with a good friend at ( Read more... )

When I am truly, fully annoyed by something, I hate using the term "pet" peeves. It seems so diminishing to reference a legitimately angering thing as a "pet" anything. So here are my Peeves (yes, with a captial "P") for the week ( Read more... )

Saturday was an epic night for me - possibly the best karaoke night I'd ever had, even with the last minute cancellations from friends. My son and I came in, and were greeted by all the regulars, and then another table showed, with some extremely enthusiastic and talented performers. I pegged them for a theater troupe right away - no one else looks ( Read more... )

This week has been a whirlwind so far. I'm having to log all the details of what's happening at work, which is slowing me down a bit and also making me a little self-conscious about how good my time management is. It didn't help that this was the day my computer needed a reboot, the printer jammed, and my dad called me in a frenzy because his eye ( Read more... )

Yeesh, finally turned off the auto-notifications of "achievements" that everyone on my friends list is geting. No offense, but I don't even care if I get an "achievement" unless it's something real that I actually achieved. Those were annoying ( Read more... )

This week has been kind of crappy so far, and a little scary. Stressful situations at work, followed by a health scare with my daughter, followed by lawyers, followed by pretty unsettling nightmares that kept me up most of last night. And tomorrow, more anticipated work stress, with a meeting I am NOT looking forward to.

I was trying to figure out ( Read more... )

This Friday is dragging on so long....just waiting for 5 PM to roll in so I can go home and relax. Though part of the evening is going to be trying to cheer up a very stressed out friend who's having a hard time adjusting to her new home. Hope we can offer some comfort to her right now, since it's going to be months before we get up north again to ( Read more... )
