Really, Austin isn't that bad. To be honest. I am just apparently obsessed with making an art of being broke.

I'm incredibly excited to own a new laptop computer, a gift from my Mom, who is crazy, and who I need to call.

There are actually a good half dozen people I need to call, but only one of them has given me an expensive gift recently.

I really shouldn't let this journal die. There are things I can write here that no one else needs - or cares - to see ( Read more... )

Dom and I are officially members of Sunflower Co-op. We'll be moving into our new bedroom next month ( Read more... )

I visited and fell in love with Sunflower housing co-op yesterday. It is a huge and breezy couple of houses sharing a large garden, functioning work shed, and organically-stocked kitchen. Here's hoping that the slightly cheaper Sasona is even more impressive ( Read more... )

I took the entire weekend off. Friday was mostly spent in bed with a raging migraine. Yesterday morning Dom and I attended Ambi's graduation ceremony, then last evening we went bowling and drinking ( Read more... )

Do you know what I'm over? Working every single day, that's what I'm over. It's Thursday, and all I can think is, "I'm just getting started," and there's nothing really to look forward to. I feel like I will always be tired, always stressed. Totally over it ( Read more... )

This morning I woke up early, went to the convenience store next door, and bought coffee, cream, and sugar. This is what my coffee addiction has brought me to.

But I had to have my morning beverage ( Read more... )

Danielle moved to Austin! I just got her call today and we're going to hang out tomorrow. I haven't seen her for years, but there was a several year period that we hung out all day every day. If I have a soul mate in this world, it is Danielle. I mean, Dom is my love and my husband and I will live and die for him, but it was Danielle who forced my ( Read more... )

I am freaking exhausted by freaking Wolverine. Yesterday was my second midnight in a row, and I came rather close to clocking someone - anyone - though preferably a customer. The movie has me out untill four in the morning, my internal clock has me out of bed by eleven in the morning, and the bastards who want to watch a film at midnight are not ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning to find my bathroom floor coated in a thin film of water leaking - ever so slightly - from the back of the tank. I was able to locate the source quickly because I'd seen the toilet to leak like this once,in the process of fixing something the landlord had done just before we moved in.

Basically, a few weeks after we moved in ( Read more... )
