Apologies for radio silence. Just not much going on. There were some really nice days last week, which of course coincided with some stuffiness. Methinks allergies. As of this weekend, I am a full-on, sneezing, coughing, snot monster. Yippee. Skipped the gym yesterday and today because of it. Hopefully, I'll be able to go tomorrow. We'll ( Read more... )

The barrage of job openings continued after my last post. The final count for the week was ten applications, several jobs saved for later applications, and two jobs that I applied for Saturday night that are officially considered part of this weeks effort (they got recorded as Sunday in the system because of the time zone difference, and I went ( Read more... )

Apparently, this is going to be a banner week for me...at least in terms of number of jobs for which I submit applications. I've already put in eight applications, and it's only Monday night. I'd say go me, but I'm not actually sure it's a good thing. While, yes, this is a record number for one week for me, the fact that I put in so many at once ( Read more... )

...rolled into one post. Wednesday evening was knitting night. I don't recall anything particular happening at knitting. Had a good time, as usual, and actually got some work done on the lace scarf I'm making. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this scarf, though.

I dumped all of the clothing (minus jeans, pants, and undies) on the end of the sofa, which ended up being a giant pile on and beside two thirds of the ( Read more... )

...and the year is 2011. I'm not entirely sure where the past two - almost three - years have gone. I feel like I'm still in a holding pattern; I haven't moved forward at all in this time. At the same time, I am content. There are things I want and need in my life, but I am also good with where I am. Well, except for one glaring problem, but I ( Read more... )

so i've started taking Tai Chi at the Enso Center with the Family*. we're not very good about going, but we are busy people with Gwen running off for business trips once in a while, which makes organizing the rest of us difficult. in theory, Zoe should be able to play in the little play area by the mats while the Entourage** practices / learns ( Read more... )

when last we left our brave heroine (heehee), she had just called the police on her fighting neighbors. nothing seems to have come of that, but the floor has remained quiet in the days since. on the other hand, there was fighting heard in the (stopped) elevator last night while our brave heroine was standing holding two bags of laundry. there ( Read more... )

despite sleeping in, i feeling strangely motivated today. i have finally started writing a cover letter to send to the professor with whom i'd like to do a post-doc. well, with whom i'm seeing if i can get a post-doc since i don't have an actual job yet. actually, i'm feeling less negative about post-docs right now. the guy has done some really ( Read more... )
