I've been stuck on this song all night. I don't know why, but it's pretty much set up shop by now.

It's been a fairly low-key weekend. Saturday and Sunday, I pretty much just hung around the house, being as lazy as possible. There may or may not have been videogames involved. Sunday night, Tad showed up just in time for me to pass out ( Read more... )

Tad and I have discussed a roadtrip to Texas, where Millage is doing his thing in October. Myself, I've been wondering about the viability of a cross-country drive; if I end up getting laid off again, or just taking all of my vacation time, for instance. I think that could be a pretty awesome month. Or two. I want to buy a new camera...

Oh! I did go to Stone Door for the first time in twelve years, so that's pretty awesome. If anybody else feels up for the trek, I will totally accommodate.

Work has me stressed out far past my breaking point; on a conference call yesterday, I was everything but flat-out cursing at my boss' boss, furious that he'd say we weren't doing our jobs like we had been two months ago. It has not been good times. My resume is being updated ( Read more... )

If I look out the window, chances are pretty high that I'll see some showering sparks. The dogs ( Read more... )

We'd hired two contractors at work back in November, since we've always been low on staff and now our needs had gotten kind of ridiculous. One of them, John, I'd already found out that we were both from Collierville, could relate to the same things. We'd make jokes about Gurkins no. 4, or the Mall of Memphis. Yesterday, though, he paused and asked ( Read more... )

My mom and hers came up to visit on Thursday, and on Friday we went out for dinner. I was a little hungover, but the food was surprisingly awesome, and I think grandma ended up liking my meal more than her own. And then I drove home ( Read more... )

Still on the Cymbalta, and the effects have been pretty surprising. The sharp, stabbing pains that I frequently have are mostly gone, though the pressure-pain that I feel in my joints is still hanging around. I can actually climb steps normally now, which is in itself pretty crazy. The insomnia side-effect's still there, which leads to extreme ( Read more... )
