Spring!
First day of spring. I spent the late morning working outside: swept out the garage. Picked up a bunch of sticks and pinecones. Also picked up a bunch of trash. I cleaned out the old wildflower stems -- it looks like new wildflowers are already starting to come in. I put down some grass seed in some bare spots, but I'm going to need to buy ( Read more... ) -
Farewell, 2021
It's New Year's Day, and I am glad to be done with 2021. The start of 2022 is going to be heavy, but I am optimistic that the year will get better as we make our way through it. This past week, I started a new training program, with the goal of running a marathon at the end of April. That will be contingent upon the Covid situation improving, ( Read more... ) -
Can't stop yawning
My god, I'm exhausted. This semester just keeps getting worse. 😩
My body is sore everywhere. Work is overwhelming. My shoulders are tight, and I can't relax at all.
There's so much I need to do at home, but I just don't have the energy for it. My energy is used up for work and running.
I need a vacation. -

🥱
I'm exhausted. We are short staffed at work, and that means more to do for those of us still sticking around. It's not the first time, of course, but this semester has been particularly rough. It may be the most difficult semester I've had since starting this job ( Read more... ) -

PostSecret recollection
I'm amused to find that I still follow PostSecret on here. I don't read it anymore, haven't done so literally for years. Seeing is on the friends feed, though, reminds me of when I commented to Steve about seeing a postcard that talked about leaving Arizona to move to Seattle (or was it vice versa?), and Steve got so fucking offended because he ( Read more... ) -
Sleeeeeeeepy
I find myself wishing i had the life of a house cat. Sleep 70% of the time. Eat. Play. Poop. Watch the birds and the squirrels through the window.
My life of late is just exhausting. -
TV is stupid
With my mom having taken over the television during her stay here, I am rediscovering just how awful so many TV shows really are. Terrible plots, stupid humor, unrealistic dialog. This is how people spend their time? Their lives ( Read more... )
