So much coming up - buying a car (implausible as it sounds), wisdom teeth removal, moving, vacation. 24th birthday, which falls on a payday this year. Lots of thoughts. Lots of scotch. June and July were both so odd and I suppose this month will follow suit. But things should be settled by the end of September - at least, the things that can be ( Read more... )

It's not a bug, it's a feature! A feature! For reals and for serious!

Right.

This has been quite a morning. My second call of the day, before I had even drank any coffee, was incredibly complicated and took thirty freakin' minutes to resolve - and that's not counting the follow-up work, which I haven't started yet, because that call was immeadiately followed by three more long (~10 minute) calls. To give you a sense of ( Read more... )

I'm feeling more crust-positive now, but... another time, Liz. Another time.

I was just sitting out in my backyard pitting cherries. It took a long time, mostly because it was just me, a small knife, and the cherries, and I kept being distracted by these tiniest one squirrels chasing each other in the trees and shouting pip-pip-pip-pip and being ( Read more... )

I went to a Kalamazoo Kings game yesterday with Charles. It was really fun, in a patriotic, part-of-the-community way ( Read more... )

Part of the problem is that I've lost faith in language, in communication - and that's the perfect example, faith. Talk about a word with connotative baggage. I'm trying to express everything I know and feel, trying to remember to acknowledge. In a moment, I'm in trouble for not remembering something I couldn't possibly have known. Of course, you' ( Read more... )

I have not been carded the last three times I've purchased alcohol. Before this, the only time I wasn't carded buying alcohol was last summer when I bought a Bud Light & Clamato (Chelada!) at a Mexican grocery store back home for the novelty of it. So to have this happen three times in a row is kind of weird. Do I look years older than I did a ( Read more... )

I feel so restless. I keep getting up and walking around outside. Good thing though, because I saw this really tiny, really cute squirrel. Tiniest one squirrel! You are a friend to tiniest one goat. Also, I saw a chipmunk and toad. I probably could have picked up the toad, but I didn't want to put my germy hands on him. And the honeysuckle is still ( Read more... )

I finally went to the dentist last Thursday for a check-up/cleaning. Turns out I don't have any cavities, but the dentist did find my wisdom teeth, via x-ray - they're deep in my gums, all four of them. Lovely. I scheduled a consultation to discuss having them removed, but the non-confrontational part of me wonders if they couldn't just be left ( Read more... )

I'm visiting Karen and Fletcher in Ohio this weekend. So, Alissa, you won't have Sobbity accompaniment if you go to the opening of the farmer's market. We'll go another weekend, perhaps?
