1.  Be prepared for the fact that sometimes, nothing you say will be right.  It sucks and feel free to call them on it, but really, it's not personal.

2.  "You get that from your father's/mother's/drunken uncle's side of the family."
If you have to say it, then methinks you doth protest too much.  Besides, it feels a little bit like being disowned ( Read more... )

1.  The coworkers loved the bread I brought in, which is good. Especially after my vegan cupcakes didn't really move at the Christmas party.  (Damn you, Chlamydia pops ( Read more... )

Had a fabulous weekend with Eric, his aunt, and her cat (Miss Queen Nefertiti) in Greenfield and Vermont.  We have now been to every New England state this year. Those King Arthur cooking classes are really good, I don't bake as much as I like to, and I don't see that changing in this heat, but I feel like those classes are good beyond immediate ( Read more... )

1.  I was afraid that actually working a whole, entire week would feel like it was taking forever, but it turns out I'm just happy to have adequate time to get my work done.  I expect this feeling will last until sometime next Monday, when once again it will feel like I'll never have enough time to get my work done.

2.  I've been dipping my toes in ( Read more... )

My therapist says she's near the end of what she can do to help me, sans meds.  She says I've done exactly what I was supposed to do, but there's clearly some sort of chemical imbalance going on and it's getting to the point where I'm going to have to consider going on a low-level anti depressant or mood stabilizer ( Read more... )

Sometimes I think people with anxiety disorders should be stood in the town square and pelted with tomatoes.  Of all the things to get worked up about this has to be the most idiotically privileged and NO, I have not cancelled my appointment for tomorrow.  

My two weeks of running back and forth to the beach were great:  I got to spend some quality time with my brother, who I don't really see often enough, Eric and Dad got to hang out together, I even got Dave and Dad into Twin Peaks -- and I have a really hard time getting Dave into things I like most of the time. I ate blueberry ice cream until I ( Read more... )

¡Perdoname! Tuve muchas obligaciones de mi trabajo, mi novio, y mi familia. No tenía mucho tiempo a escribir las detailles de mi vida. Por cinco días en la semana pesado, yo fue la casita de la playa de mis parientes. En mayo en junio, yo tuve muchas cosas y trabajos y... no tengo mucho tiempo a dormir. Yo he olvidado lo que era a me relejar. ¡Era ( Read more... )

Been running back and forth to my parents' rent house at the beach since last Friday.  The water isn't bad -- getting good swims in every other day.  The literal running has been lousy.  I start out strong but my legs really begin to feel it far too soon.  I think this is because the last two weeks I've kind of slacked off a bit, due to the heat, ( Read more... )

Tengo calambres menstruales mas malos. También, es mucho calor. Mi cuerpo es mas incómodo ahora. Pero, mi vida no es solamente mal. Ese Sábado será bueno. La piscina publico será abierto, y yo voy a tener tiempo para corriendo y nadando sin dramatismo. Esta noche, nosotros miramos Picnic at Hanging Rock, un film Australiano de los anos 70. Es mas ( Read more... )
