done?
Last night I walked out of my last class after turning in my final assignment for my Masters in Public Administration. I am 100% sure I finished this degree and 98% sure they will award me the actual piece of paper with my name and MASTERS across the top in two weeks (the 2% is for paper work snafus). It took me 4 damn years of working full-time ( Read more... ) -
how to relax
Last week was weirdly hectic. I found myself running around every evening and not quite being able to figure out how to slow down. Part of it is my insistence on being social while also trying to maintain my work out schedule. Of course, even with that focus, I only exercised a few nights last week--thank goodness for the lunch-time work out ( Read more... ) -

I'm feeling a little closed in today ( Read more... ) -
grumbly
This weekend I sat around feeling unusually grumbly. Friday night when all should have been good cause it was Friday and everything was possible, I felt grumptastic and despite my best efforts remained in a foul state. As a result, an incendiary comment I made during the new Battlestar Galactica caused a fight with Jeff--marring a nice evening. ( Read more... ) -
it's all a ploy
to never have to leave my house. Despite the fact that my home is covered in cats and super disorganized, I can't help inviting people over. It's my ploy to never have to leave the house and have a constant parade of people to spend time with me. Jeff noticed that I am someone that never 'needs' to be alone. I suspect I do have my solitary ( Read more... ) -
last midterm... evah?
Somehow I survived my Microeconomics midterm. It's worth 50% of my grade and yet I felt super calm about the possibility of screwing it up royally. Maybe the lithium isn't quite out of my system after all. It was a crazy thing because, not only had my brain not been working quite right for the last few weeks (of class), but I haven't sat down ( Read more... ) -
it's not all bleak
Despite my whining about meds and weight gain, I just want to say all is mostly good in Poodah-land. This weekend the weather was gorgeous and I started it volunteering at NASA on Friday night. Saturday I went to a birthday party on the patio of Il Pirata with a group of fun folks where I got to eat a cupcake baked in an ice-cream cone (what a ( Read more... ) -
fighting the fatness
162.4That was the number on my scale this morning. Last Thursday the number was 158.6. The week before 157.6. The week before that 157. Back in January after I got back from Cancun it was 155-ish. At the end of Janny Craig in December it was 152. Before I started Jenny Craig it was 167. After New Zealand it was 169 (Jan 2007) and after Alaska ( Read more... ) -
medicated
I've officially given up on lithium. Last night was my last taper dose. I'd been struggling with the stuff for a month and a half and the side effects were just too intense. Being foggy-headed and cognitively impaired has created a number of problems at work--mostly from me screwing stuff up when the dose was too high a few weeks back. The loss ( Read more... )
