I decided to clean desk of my stuff on friday and the only personal items I had were a Bill Lumbergh coffee mug and a bunch of tea. A far cry from Hudson, where I had weird drawings and notes to myself, plus some action figures and pictures of things.

Did you go to a wedding? I saw you in a peach colored dress.

I've been subbing as an office assistant upstairs the last couple weeks. Lots of looking at and filling in spreadsheets and following up on stuff. It's a nice change of pace from my usual work and I'm getting valuable experience in a different field. I don't know when my assignment will end, but I'll be up there at least until the end of the ( Read more... )

I had a series of plane crash dreams a few nights ago. Nothing horrific. Sure, the planes would knock over walls and pillars and trees and things when they hit the ground, but no one died.

In the last two weeks, a couple people have told me that there's something different about me that they can't really put a finger on.

Another dream at the Gargamel House, with most of the same cast members. This time, Matt had harvested his garden and was grilling them in the back yard. I came late to the party, so by the time I got there, all he had to offer me were yams and radishes ( Read more... )

My beef with the art teacher no longer exists! It's not like we talked about it or hugged it out or anything. Personally, I think the teacher just forgot about it and since I only played along because I was the one getting the stink eye, I gave it up as well. It only took almost half a year for the dumb thing to blow over ( Read more... )

I just got back from walking the dog. I usually don't do that so late, but homeboy wouldn't leave me alone and refilling his food and water bowls didn't do anything, so I figured that he had to go out and take care of his business. As some of you may know, I live around the corner from a assisted living/retirement complex. I never really noticed ( Read more... )
