Grocery store delis put me in a very specific bind from time to time. You see, they only seem to offer sandwiches in two varieties: pitifully small and muy gigante. A sandwich of middling girth would be ideal, but no one seems interested in selling these. So every time I need to grab a sandwich in a hurry, I've got to decide between some puny ( Read more... )

Enrollment at Evergreen State College earns the student free rides on the local busline. I'd grown so used to this privilege that bus rides were tagged with "free" somewhere deep in my brain. So when my student ID stopped getting me free rides at the end of June - right when I needed to find work in a hurry - I had to buy a bus pass and I was kind ( Read more... )

Got home to a voicemail from my Dad. Sounds like the surgery went just fine. I'm enjoying a long breath out now.

She told me it would be a routine procedure. She told me women her age get what she's got all the time and that although it would take major surgery to fix, it was nothing to worry about. She won't even need to leave Chelan to have it done - a specialist from Wenatchee who works one day a week in the Valley had it handled. My Dad's supposed to send ( Read more... )

We stood under the exposed rafters which held up the floor above us. We avoided the nails sticking out of the wall and wrangled for a position out from behind the basement's support pillar. We wound up under a bit of insulated tubing that I still haven't quite figured out the point of. Heating or cooling, maybe. Irritating my nose a little, ( Read more... )
