Intense week. School started back up on Tuesday, Zach got sick that day, so I missed my first two classes. I called Natalie, who agreed to come watch Emersen while I went to my last two classes. My phone got disconnected on Monday, and I've been using Zach's when I've needed one, but it's been pretty weird. Also, I threw my back out on Wednesday, ( Read more... )

Arg. Night after Yule Ball and things are pretty rough in my brain right now. Anxiety spiked really high just after leaving the Boggs's house, and I had to get family to come pick me up. Clean up took forever, and on top of that, I ended up not getting home till after five. And the weirdest part is, it's sticking around. I'm not breathing right and ( Read more... )

Severely unhappy for the time being ( Read more... )

I just spent a few minutes doing the "calculate how long I really have left in college" dance. Every time I do this, I feel like I'm unfairly far from this goal of graduation. When I do graduate, if I am lucky, I will be 27. I have a lot of friends right now with degrees that they're not using, some by choice, but mostly because of the stinkhole ( Read more... )

For the last couple of years I lived at La France (barring the time I was on medication and then later when I was pregnant), I would wake up with my mind racing, and sometimes my heart, too. First thing in the morning, even as I had my first leisurely cup of coffee and thought about the day ahead, I would feel like I was way behind, playing catch- ( Read more... )

The decision to write in my livejournal comes from a few recent frustrating experiences. The most recent, the biggest catapult, was a search I made through these archives to try to find information about a court case I dealt with in 2007-8. I know the entries are here, but I was unable to find them. Granted, I didn't search very long ( Read more... )

Complaints I don't feel comfortable putting on the baby blog ( Read more... )

Flux turned two weeks old today! We've been having a great time with her so far. Right now, she is so unaware of her surroundings, it's unbelievable. She just finished eating her 'late-night snack' and is commencing her late-night scream/poop session. Zach tried to cheer her up just now by showing her Mr. Lion, our favorite stuffed animal that has ( Read more... )

Today is Flux's due date! This means nothing. Only 5% of babies are born on their due dates, so it's highly unlikely that a child of mine will be so attentive to punctuality. We've known this all along, of course, but it's hard not to get attached to a date. So here we sit, in the sharing room upstairs in our faraway home, reading, playing games, ( Read more... )

Huge improvement over yesterday's sleep situation: I've been awake on and off since 3, rather than solidly awake since 3. Also, got to sleep around 11 instead of midnight. I feel downright perky ( Read more... )
