After my morning classes, Stanzie and I went out to lunch again. I didn't break anything this time but I did throw my hand up in some emphatic gesture while I was telling a story, and knocked into the waitress carrying a hot bowl of soup.... Damn. She said she was okay but I felt pretty bad. I briefed Stanzie on my situation and she briefed me ( Read more... )

 Yesterday was Columbus Day and part of my Mid-semester break. Stanzie and I had made plans about two weeks ago to go rock climbing. It was actually my idea, and I know she loves it. I got up and planned on doing something with Cherry but she ended up sleeping in. Mom took me to lunch at Laura's Cafe so I could get my favorite cucumber sandwich and ( Read more... )

    Today is Monday. Lindsay couldn't meet Stanzie and I for lunch today, but we still went to the sushi place we always meet up at on Mondays. We weren't seated right away so we went and chose our own table. The table was plagued by two mosquitoes that constantly whizzed by during the course of our conversation. Stanzie has been on a bug-killing ( Read more... )

   I've been sick. Last week on Wednesday I woke up with a sore throat and some head congestion. By the next day, my throat was worse and I had a lot of pressure in my sinuses. I went with my mom to the doctor and he told me "no work or school til Monday. Take a teaspoon of this medicine every twelve hours." Well... that didn't work out. I had a ( Read more... )

     South Carolina was definitely a life experience. I moved away from the Seabrook suburbs into a white, third-story apartment with 1 bedroom, 1 bath, a kitchenette, and a "pool-side" view if you have the ability to see through trees. Jeff and I adopted two sugar-sweet kittens from K.A.T. through PetsMart and bought lots of furniture from the ( Read more... )

I think I scheduled my classes the right way this semester. Last night I went to bed at 8 PM and slept til 7:30 AM. I took a Non-Drowsy Claratin D for allergies, fixed my coffee and drove to campus jamming to Silverstein: Smile in your Sleep, Ides of March, Discovering the Waterfront, My Heroine.... I was smiling all day. My classes went great, I ( Read more... )

     I just got done watching the first season of TrueBlood. I finished it in about four days because its the first thing I do after feeding the cats and changing out of my unifrom when I get home from work everynight. And on the nights that Jeff doesn't get home til late I can get through maybe four or five episodes at a sitting. I read the ( Read more... )

     I took a nap when I got home from work yesterday afternoon so that I wouldn't be tired when Jeff got home from his closing shift. Instead, I ended up going to bed half way through Splash because he was the tired one for once. I had set my alarm for 8:30 AM as we were climbing into bed around 1 or so because I like the feeling of turning off my ( Read more... )

      I feel like a zombie with my brain oozing out of my ears. I walk around in a state of semi-conscious - not seeing, not registering. Not quite able to snap together.
     It's the first time PetsHotel 1300 has been quiet enough for me to jot down the semblence of thoughts on the clock. My AM routine is done (medications administered, morning ( Read more... )

On my way to work this afternoon, I was excited at the prospect of working a mid-shift and getting off at 7pm… it would be light outside when I ventured beyond the pet world cave, tired and probably stained with all manner of dog and cat fluids (and solids), new bruises and maybe bleeding my own blood. I would have time to surprise Jeff at ( Read more... )
