...because I definitely feel like emotional crap. In spite of the lovely Portlandish weather outside. I left work. I actually left work, so that I could come home and be self-indulgent. That's how you know it's emotional rather than physical- I don't leave work for something as laughable physical ailments ( Read more... )

Mother's Day was interesting this year.

The majority of the O clan had descended upon P-ville, to celebrate my brother getting a crisp piece of paper that witnessed him walking across a stage at the end of four years of busting his ass. As such, there were five moms present at the Mother's Day Breakfast I'd hastily arranged at the local Cracker ( Read more... )

Especially because I thought I'd be running around a group of baseball fields- and while I did do that, I came across a rather unexpected trail that led off into the ( Read more... )

Just for the record, my blood pressure at approximately 6pm today was 98/58. Hypo-tension represent! Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that stupid machine actually bruised my elbow. Do not ask me how- only witness my blossoming contusion and send forth "there-there"s ( Read more... )
