It's been a while... A while since I last did a "State of the AJ" post. A while since I posted much of anything of any consequence here... I could go into reasons, but that would be boring for most people plus it's kind of covered in the info below.

( Updates on work, pets, the house, spirituality, writing, fandom, and misc stuff under the cut to be kind )

So yes, we're currently watching Mary Poppins and the "Step in Time" segment is playing, hence my subject line. Work with me here, okay? *g* Tho' it is an amusing jump to go from Grease to Mary Poppins. I didn't want to watch Annie again so soon, and Grease 2 has never been all that high on my list of fave sequels. *shrugs ( Read more... )

Wow! I have been really bad lately with posting anything of substance in DW/LJ, haven't I? WTF? So let me use this post as a way to begin to remedy that and get y'all caught up on things at the same time... And we'll be doing this with bullet points and cut-tags, as usual...

( tl;dr :: jobless, so-so health, writing deficit that is in the process of being fixed, yards look great, house a mess, pets doing fabulous, & howrse is no more... )

3 day catch-up post because I really wasn't online much this weekend...

Friday can be summed up with this :: Went to work, learned I do have a new sup starting 8 March, came home after 2 hours due to migraine that I'd had upon waking up. Don't remember much of the afternoon, to be honest.

So first day back at work today in a while... And wow, did NOT miss it. There is more shit coming down the pipe. I can feel it. Will get more into that later this week, when I can properly filter my thoughts on it...

For now, I wanted to post this... amyrayh made me go over to this page on Glenn Beck's site and take this quiz. Interestingly enough, ( Read more... )

So I have been home from work the first 3 days of this week with a days-long migraine. Not fucking kewl, yo! Not at all! I believe I said it sucked huge, rancid donkey balls in my FB status a bit ago. And I meant it ( Read more... )

I don't want to go back to work tomorrow. I just have no damned desire because I don't want to deal with the stress. And yes, the stress levels are already starting to kick up because of this. Plus? Just not feeling 100% today at all. Took a nap earlier, but might as well not have, since I still feel crappy. Can't concentrate on anything ( Read more... )

So I turned 40 on Friday...

( tl;dr :: I turned 40 & got fun gifts... )

Srsly? Where did it go?

Oh, that's right. NaNoWriMo sucked it all up. Well, NaNo, illnesses, job stress, and a Thanksgiving weekend visit from will_i_am_oak and his mom. Other than having to work on Friday, it was a lovely weekend with my boy and his mom. Saturday, I finally got to take him to the Reptile Zoo, which he absolutely adored! We got to see amyrayh ( Read more... )

So first things first... I came home from work halfway through my day. Went in with a low-to-mid grade migraine. Hoped it would go away or be tolerable for work. Not so much. Got worse as the morning went on. Hell, my boss basicallly said "It's the weather, isn't it? All the thunder and lightning and wind?" Which is pretty much what it was ( Read more... )
