My mom's visit went pretty well. We went to the York memorial service which was very touching. We went to the aquarium with Tyler, and we had yakiniku. We went to dimsum with a lot of my coworkers, and then went to Point Loma on a beautiful day and saw the sights. We also walked around La Jolla. Not that exciting.

I have said that I admire how ( Read more... )

 It's probably too early to say, but I think things are getting a bit better at work. I have a plan. Yay.

I am continually impressed by the patience and support my bf manages to muster even when things get shitty. I feel very lucky to have such a person choose to stand by me. I am actually looking forward to him meeting my mom now. We had a bit of a ( Read more... )

I have real bangs now...my hairdresser gave them to me free of charge. Always nice. She was going to Julian and talking about the pies...

Tyler and I made dinner at home Friday and then I passed out early. Saturday night we went to Donovans with his friends and I ate till I was almost sick. They had Julian apple pie for dessert! So I had shrimp ( Read more... )

 Yelp party was fun! Won raffle prize of a bottle of rum and matching pint glass, shot glass, and dogtag bottle opener! Yay!

And with work there is going to be a little break now, and I am relieved. I have been missing having relaxing, stress/guilt-free time with Tyler.

I feel like I am getting fat (not that I have ever been really skinny, so who ( Read more... )

We had a fight a couple days ago. It wasn't anything really important, though I thought it was at the time and got very upset.

Then yesterday I was walking to my car after work in the dark playing puzzloop. I got really into it and was walking very slow, not looking where I was going. When I looked up when I got to my car, I was startled and ( Read more... )

I want. Badly. Mmmmm....

I got a temporary crown today. It has to have been the roughest time I've ever had at the dentist. They numbed me but not well enough; they had to try two more times before they got to my root. By the time they did, I felt it near the root and it didn't hurt. It was an odd sensation; almost a relief that they had hit it finally. Then when they were ( Read more... )

Wow...September already. It's been almost 3 months with Tyler and I don't think I could be any happier. He understands and accepts me and I respect and adore him. 
Works sucks ass.

My counselor helped me realize the extent of my mommy issues, but suddenly I'm running out of sessions. Boo.
The cats are fat and adorable.

Friday:
Lab meeting went pretty well...no encouraging comments from the boss, but two others went out of their way to say "good job" and I felt very gratified. Did some experiments, felt productive. Met up with coworkers for happy hour (the first in a while) and had a good time. Wasn't supposed to see the bf, as we are trying to spend more time ( Read more... )
