Is anybody watching the State of the Union?

Look, they’re underwater!

It’s always nice to get some praise from somewhere unexpected. I’m sorry things went badly with your parents, but at least something positive came out of the conversation with your sister.

I have acquired a cat. I mentioned to my parents yesterday that I was thinking about getting one, and this morning my mom called to tell me that she had one if I wanted it. Her coworker’s husband, a construction […]

This is weird. I have a very close family and tons of great memories from childhood, but I can’t think of any real “we always do this because this is our family tradition” traditions. Aw, we’re so boring. […]

Blerg. I just opened a jar of the cherry preserves I made this summer, and they’re moldy. I was going to use them as Christmas gifts but now I’ll be throwing them all (20 jars) out. I thought all the jars had […]

I haven’t really been following this case but I heard about it in passing. Thanks for providing some context. I wonder what would have happened if they had predicted an earthquake and people had panicked and […]

I was just thinking about how unprepared I am. In previous years I’ve had super detailed outlines and character sketches but this year all I have is a half-baked idea and 30 minutes of internet research. I don’t […]

Aw, that sucks. Is there a food bank near you? Also you could check to see if there are rental assistance programs that could help.

Yay Xander. Absolutely my favorite Scooby.

Oh. My. God. My skin is crawling. A few weeks ago we found bedbugs at work (I work at a drug treatment center). We made everybody wash all their clothes and bedding and had the place sprayed, but this weekend […]

Yes! Bunnies! Always my favorite part of the state fair.

Oh God, that episode. I cried and cried.

Aw, poor guy. I hope he feels better.

I spent the day moving things into my new house!

It would definitely be a new experience, and I think I would like it. I went ahead and applied. If I get it, great, if not, well, I still like my job most of the time.

Right after I posted this I sent in my resume for the other job (and another one too). I should have written “applying for it” rather than “taking it” because there’s certainly no guarantee they’ll even want to […]

I need some job advice. I love my current job. That is, I love almost everything about it. I make less than I would a lot of other places (because I work at a nonprofit), and there are some people in the […]

That blog makes me simultaneously happy and SO ANGRY that it has so much content.

Here is a video representation of how I feel:

Talking to your doctor is a good idea. She’ll have an idea of what might be caused by the diuretic and potassium and what is more likely to be a panic attack.

RSL is my first team. Definitely not DC.
