...I had to call off at the bookstore tonight. I just couldn't do it. My head feels gigantic and is throbbing so badly that I damn near want to scoop my eyes out with spoons or lope the top of my skull off in order to release the pressure. Stupid migraines from hell. The damn sun didn't help today either ( Read more... )

Today you can expect to feel a tug-of-war between your desires and your obligations, Sarah. If you are smart about how you manage your time, you may be able to satisfy both. You may be discouraged by just how hard you have been working, seemingly with minimal results. Take heart, you are accomplishing more than you realize. In fact, your strong ( Read more... )

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE ( Read more... )

Well, I don't have much time for a post this morning. I had to go put air in my two front tires this morning, I didn't wake up until after 7:15 am - so I'm running a little late. And ragged, really. I hate it when I plan to look nice and then screw myself out of it. Anyway ( Read more... )

All right, so you might think you know what I'm going to write. You think I'm going to cry and bemoan that fact that it's cold and wet outside and damn Illinois.

I love how voices are always ( Read more... )

So my kernel of wisdom for the day: I'm old. Yes, I know, I've been avoiding it too but it's true - I'm old. (Shakes head in self-disgust ( Read more... )

Ok, so it may be a little premature but I'm taking the signs to heart. I knew this week was going to be bad - what between Sunday's puddles, falls and fuck-ups - but I didn't know it was going to hurt this bad ( Read more... )

I really don't have much at all to update. I had a nice long weekend in which I worked an insane amount. I enjoyed that for the most part because it meant my brain wasn't idle for too long. I always find it to be a good thing when my brain is not too idle. I seem to get myself into deep water as my brain is allowed to wander ( Read more... )

I took most of yesterday off. My mom was having a hard time of it, still is, and I wanted to do something for her. Plus I felt like shit. (Sidenote: My stomach=evil ( Read more... )

A note to the reader: Don't assume that I'm going off the deep-end here, I just need to vent publicly for a bit. And, by publicly I mean in a friendly forum where I'm quite sure no one is reading this anyway. So don't freak, ok? I'm not going to drive my car into one of the many ditches around here - chances are it wouldn't work anyway ( Read more... )
