I've finally quit the job that was causing me so much stress and misery. The day I left I felt kind of wistful, and sad, but I'm so glad that I'm never going to have to drag myself to that house again and nurse somebody who won't remember me in three days anyway.

My old boss said that she's going to write me two different references, one as being a ( Read more... )

Hello livejournal, it's been about six weeks since my last post. Did you miss me? Probably not, but I did miss you. My life's just been a hectic whirlwind of happenings lately, all of them good, and I've barely had an hour to myself what with all the changes in my life ( Read more... )

Ah, sometimes I can just pull an old .mp3 out of nowhere that I used to have on my walkman and find myself transported back to the time when I used to listen to it ad infinitum.

Fourteen months ago. No direction, no job, no purpose, the memories of losing Matthew still fresh in my mind. Having to wake up at 6AM to go to go work in a christian ( Read more... )

Today I was hanging out washing outside, because there was a strong wind and the clothes would dry extra fast. I had the basket in one hand resting against my hip, and at some point I leaned into the laundry to reach for the bucket of clothes pegs, half inside the laundry and half outside on the decking. I was holding the door open with my arm so I ( Read more... )

Lately I've just been extremely complacent and have allowed things to pile up, and pile up, and pile up...

Things like emails, any cleaning that isn't work-related, a pay audit that is work related, and a big stack of hand-written fanfiction pages that grows steadily larger by the day. I've started attacking my big lazy-list of stuff that hasn't ( Read more... )

Ah, it's that rare and treasured evening when I can stay up as late as I want and worry about nothing at all until tomorrow and the working week which seems so far off in the distance now. I only get two nights like this a week. Must treasure them...

I've been massively pissy lately, mostly at myself and my fiance but the true reasons for that are ( Read more... )

Haven't posted in here for nearly three weeks. Nothing at all happens in my life anymore. Nobody comes, nobody goes. It's really depressing ( Read more... )

So, I'm guessing from the poll you'd rather me write the first original story then, eh? Okay, I'll get started on it after I write one Siren's Way chapter and one more small chapter of Turnabout Execution ( Read more... )

Right now I'm not actually typing on the computer that has internet access. That computer is right now being used by my sister to play Maple Story, but all of a sudden I had an urge to write a LJ entry so here I am, mashing away on my typewriter-slash-paperweight. I've had lots of stuff on my mind lately and I've been using my livejournal less and ( Read more... )

I'm not at work today. I should be happy about this, because I'll still get paid, but I'm not.

And the reason for that is because the old man I take care of on the weekdays passed away last night.

I feel... relieved because he was very sick, but I also feel crushed.
