Work has been going well and keeping me quite busy. In the interstices, I've been trying to juggle my life around my recent food allergy diagnoses and get ready to go away on vacation. I've also been keeping half an eye open for another place to live, and may have found something pretty good--I'm going to go see it with Chris tomorrow night ( Read more... )

Cormorant
Little double-crest, sleek fish-eater,
shake your head and dive.
You and the seals
let the world roll over your backs.

Wind over water
rocks the shadow of the pier
slides seagulls sideways
churns green to white.It's just been a week since the bloodwork came back and the naturopath went over it with me; I've barely started settling ( Read more... )

In the interest of shortening my daily travel time, I'm looking for a place to live. To rent, ideally two bedrooms and in the Mayfair area so that Chris and I can finally cohabit without both having to have ridiculously long commutes. It's tough, but I haven't been looking for long (and I'm picky ( Read more... )

A day for cormorants and seagulls; wind, salt, the world in shades of gray.

Work's been keeping me very busy lately, though I am scheduled to have tea with Gwyneth tomorrow afternoon. On Saturday, Chris and I plan to enjoy Oktoberfest at the Edelweiss Club--should be jolly good fun. I can't believe how fast time is going by. Happy Halloween

"...[T]hings were neat and clean, they said, and it was always warm, and the only work was mental work--and all of it super-supersecret."The interview I had at Vanden Berg & Associates this morning wasn't so much of an interview as a briefing session. It sounds like meaningful, reasonable work, very good experience, with a pleasant office and co- ( Read more... )

The ASBC talk last night went quite well! There was a good turnout--I didn't count heads, but maybe a couple of dozen people--and despite a technical glitch at the beginning it all seemed to go pretty smoothly in general. I got quite a number of questions afterwards, and there seemed to be a good deal of interest, so I suppose it wasn't too dry or ( Read more... )

I managed to finish my revisions to my committee's satisfaction and submit my thesis within the (extended) deadline, so I have been resting contented for the past week or so. Well, not exactly resting; I've been pretty busy. After so much time spent being studious, I spent plenty of well-deserved time with Chris over the long weekend. Saturday was ( Read more... )

My baby came forth today and was presented for scrutiny, and the two stepdads, stepmom and godmother smiled and were satisfied ( Read more... )

I haven't been posting much lately, but I've been pretty busy. I'm going to stay pretty busy for a little while yet, too. I did have a good time at my birthday, and am going to day-trip to SST with Chris, but really there doesn't seem to be much to report because I've got to think about my project ( Read more... )
