(Untitled)
New roomie due to dramatic lesbian breakup. I’m watching Caleb color while roomie preps to go out with pals and Gi gardens. It’s just a strange time everywhere. We had a fight this morning over money - it’s just so tight and we can’t get into our groove yet. I really want no credit card debt and we have some. Again. Just paid that shit off and now ( Read more... ) -
squirrel infestation
I know that my relatives all have this - the too much thing. I woke this morning early wiht the squirrels going 90 in my head. Conversations with people who aren't here, can't hear. Thoughts about death, plans for the future. Plans for ways to say things to people I haven't met yet. The squirrels were feeling themselves ( Read more... ) -
target: character development
It's hard to concentrate, but I'm sitting here, looking at the words on the page, and trying to take in the meaning. Five hours of sleep, a full day of teaching, and now I need to understand something, remember something about education law. This professor is a lawyer, not a teacher, and he runs the class like a quiz show - read the section, take ( Read more... ) -
arrival
When it finanally came, the tweetie engine pushing up the drive, I would flood with two simultaneous and opposing feelings: anger and love. I would first hughim and be happyto see him. Giddy, in fact, that the moment I'd been wiating for had finally arrived. But then there was the person I'd been waiting for. The person who had excuses, or ( Read more... ) -
the damned Tibetans
Are hurting my arms and shoulders. I know it's because I'm getting stronger, etc. etc., but I do not like sore muscles, and it's not what my yoga practice has usually been about ( Read more... ) -
cynical much?
Going to a series of graduations, wherein your heroine shall be moved, or perhaps, shall move herself. Today is TESC's graduation. It's so difficult to hold on to one's desire to work for justice. Even though I felt at the time that I was keeping my focus narrow by dedicating myself to schooling, I get overwhelmed. Schools are so deeply unjust ( Read more... ) -
my funny psychic mother and other trajedies
So, Trav's (MBD, if you haven't known me for the full 800 years)mom got necratizing fascitis - or flesh eating disease if you've heard of it. She was touch and go for a day, but is stable now that they removed all infected tissue, including her left breast and pectoral muscles. She's not yet conscious, but has good color and is peeing well. If she ( Read more... ) -
lost a post on the blackberry
But what I was saying is that C and I are behaving ourselves pretty OK in the ER this morning. And that it's hard to identify the purpose to all this hurry up and wait bullshit. But maybe it's helping the drs see a pattern of brain weirdness ( Read more... ) -
the hardest thing
The hardest thing about my job is intermittent crises. I can handle a steady stream of very busy, and I can handle not being busy because I find things to do. What I HATE is being bored most of the time, but needing to be in one place and available for really important things quite infrequently ( Read more... ) -
schooled
Went to visit Caleb's school today as I had 0 communication from them after 1 week of ESY, and I had no idea what the fuck was going on. I brought goodies from Starbucks as a way to mask what my real agenda was - which was to let the teacher know who I was and that I expect actual curriculum to be delivered. I asked her to email me because, of ( Read more... )
