Holy hell, it's like September! I've been seriously AWOL around LJ. Too many DDoS attacks & general flakiness of the site. Also, this summer was the hottest I can remember since I was a kid. It didn't leave me much energy to write with, and honestly, every post would have been me whining about how hot it was or how frazzled I was or whatever ( Read more... )

Today was another experiment in frustration. I'm getting worn out with feeling wrung out by the end of the day. I literally don't have enough time in the day to get stuff done with the constant interruptions of the phones, clients, staff.  I just wish I could simply ask for help, and receive it, without a struggle or feeling like I'm imposing on ( Read more... )

Work has been kicking my ass lately. So busy. All day. Every day. There is no down time within the day to get caught up on anything. It's totally burning me out. The whole rinse-repeat motion of each day makes for a quick blur between days, then weeks. Blah.

The molten heat of July has broken finally. It feels like Summer is nearing her end. The ( Read more... )

 It's been a quiet week for me! I was off work and it was blissful. Except for getting headaches everyday. Possibly it was my body detoxing from feeling so stressed. As well as the hormonal shift that hit me last night. Now, no headaches! Instead they have been replaced by cramps. Yay! Actually, I don't mind since I can actually think without ( Read more... )

 Well, that was one of the most unnerving nights I've had. The mister woke me up coming back to bed just before 4 -ish. I was starting to settle down again & drift off when suddenly there was a loud bang! from outside. Both of us jumped out of bed & looked out the window. We weren't sure what the noise was, or where it was coming from. The street ( Read more... )

 Awesome weekend!  I do love a long weekend. What amazes me is how fast they go by! Managed to meet up for dinner with nwhepcat and autobadgirl on Sunday and we all talked & talked for hours! It was so much fun, and the ladies are super cool! It didn't feel like I was just meeting them for the first time either. In contrast, I had a fam jam earlier on Sunday, and it ( Read more... )

currently in the midst of a heatwave. can't do much but sweat. it hasn't rained (like, a real rain) in such a long time, all the grass that is exposed to the sun (no shade cover) is brown. there are cracks in the dirt in the yard around my apartment building ( Read more... )

The mister is off this week at the annual karate summer camp. I managed to keep the car for the week. Oh yeah. That means I can get groceries today & do things on my own schedule. In previous years, we've had to scramble to get all the chores done before the mister went away. Had a scary dream last night, & had to get up to check the apartment/get ( Read more... )

I guess I took a bit of LJ break. Why? I dunno. Mostly that 2011 feels like it's one of those years. Hard, emotionally draining, confusing, topsy-turvy. A lot to process since the mister's accident. Just because he has mostly recovered, doesn't mean everything has gone back the way it was, and it can't really. Which is the nature of life, but again ( Read more... )
