Deneb got out last night. I didn't realize it until this morning, at which point I went into a grief-stricken panic and have since cried out my weight in snot and tears. I don't think she's coming back ( Read more... )

I've been avoiding writing a meaningful post for a while now, and I know it needs to happen soon for my own sanity. But this is not that post! This post is instead a request for help with one of my grad classes - if you can take the time to fill out a brief 10-question survey for me before tomorrow (Thursday, 5pm PST) I would greatly appreciate it ( Read more... )

I bought a hula hoop today! 

Our stuff finally came today! Now the apartment feels like a living space, instead of just a space we live in. If I pump through it, I think we can be mostly settled in by the weekend (although Saturday is scheduled for a trip up to Portland to visit IKEA and whatever else we can fit in, so that brings us down a day ( Read more... )

So we're still settling in to the new apartment, and Deneb is very excited by the new wildlife she can watch through the windows. We're set right back against the "woods" (read: wooded area dividing our complex from the neighboring complex) and there is an abundance of squirrels and stray cats that she can watch.

For the record, Angsty April is kicking my butt. I've got stuff started for 3 of the prompts and I have to keep stopping because I'm depressing myself too much.

The other day I had to kill a dream. It was an exotic dream, and probably a far-fetched one but it was a dream that I was in love with and had been nurturing for the past 5 years. Even when my life changes make achieving this dream difficult I still clung to it as a goalpost, tried to figure out how to still fit it in to my changing timeline. You ( Read more... )

So as many of you might know, I recently applied for a graduate program out in Oregon. I was accepted! I'm going to be moving out there to get my M.Ed and a teaching license for high school Japanese. This has been something I've been wanting to do since I took Japanese in high school a kajillion years ago, and am finally getting to do. The program ( Read more... )

Guess who got to spend the night in the ER? Yeah, that would be me.I had sharp pains in my right side and my whole lower back felt stiff and stretched. Pain was coming in waves, after the first one passed I thought I could just take some IB and an icepack and go to bed. Only, then it started again. I couldn't stand, I couldn't breathe. Dan drove me ( Read more... )
