Back to normal
I have moved merrily back into the house. And now after days of procrastination I have returned to my desk. I don't have to be at work for another seven hours and I am trying not to have any "prayer meetings" so that I can concentrate on some writing. Now that I don't have to worry about my house burning down I can return to the important things ( Read more... ) -
great news!
So good news. After a hiatus away from the house and computer and everything else,my house has not, I repeat, HAS NOT burned down. This news was especially comforting because I had just accepted the idea that it absolutely had burned down. I was surprisingly zen about the whole thing. And then i found out that my house was alright, and there ( Read more... ) -
Notes from the Inferno
Well, it just never ends when you are me. I am currently typing this at a coffee house, as there is a wildfire less than a mile from my house and I have been evacuated! Huzzah! Nothing like not really having a place to stay with a feline in tow. I can probably stay with Clint, but I haven't spoken to him about that yet, and if that doesn't work ( Read more... ) -
Finally! a good day!
Today will be a good day (not just because I know I won't have to use my AK, sorry, it just shows up sometimes). It is the first day of my vacation. Three days off. IN A ROW. That's right, i get some time. Then after working a few days for Memorial Day I get three more days off IN A ROW. I haven't had that (while employed) since last October ( Read more... ) -
Thar she blows!
Not much new to report, and certainly nothing positive to report. The economy just gets worse and worse, or rather, my own personal economy just gets worse and worse. Yesterday I made NINE DOLLARS. Yes, you heard it right, nine dollars. Luckily I get a real working wage here, but still. On my last double I worked a ten hour day for seventy- ( Read more... ) -
Letter to a Paranoid Old Hippie
I don't have the energy to go into much detail about this, but you can guess from the letter what went down. I wrote this to the landlord/manager of a community house that I was thinking of moving into who was rude and paranoid and just downright hostile to me when i knocked at the door. This is the letter that I wrote to him, and I think it ( Read more... ) -
Some fresh new writing
I sat down this evening and actually managed to pound out some good bits. This is the story of my one and only drug test experience, and I hadn't written it down yet, although it may be one of the funniest things I have ever experienced. Bear in mind, I was being drug tested to work in a hotel banquet department. Enjoy and all comments are ( Read more... ) -
Gypsies are comin' to town
Things are a little strange. I had to go up to see the family this weekend for the memorial service for the family friend who disappeared last March. The service was nice. Not the kind of weepfest that I was fearing, in fact, most of us had already accepted and dealt with the loss of Gordy. This party was more for Gary, so that he could ( Read more... ) -
In case you never met him, this is Brak
Well, it seems that Kemper has won over Patty. Which is nice, but now lays the responsibility of saying no to him squarely on me. And as you all know, i have a really hard time saying no to the guy. I've been glad to have him around. I'm doing pretty well without my cat, but every night at a certain point my heart starts to ache and I start to ( Read more... ) -
Feline Eulogy
My big black cat Brak is my favorite thing in the world. He's my baby, and he worships me. I don't think that when I have children that they will love me as much as this cat does. Or rather, he did. He had a blood clot the other night that led to heart failure. And I helplessly watched him die.
In the middle of the night on Friday I was half ( Read more... )
