It's our anniversary weekend and he's gone to bed early, tired from a ridiculous week of school. I've focused more on having some Only Child Time and purposefully putting myself away when I come home Saturdays. The private practice is slowly growing, so I'm seeing both private and in-home clients during the day Saturday, getting home usually ( Read more... )

My house is quieting down, a friend leaving after the ball dropped four hours ago. The road is alive with ambulances and sirens- myself and Otter Bucket tell him not to go that way.

We cleaned today, joking that the best way to put a house in order is to throw a party in it. I didn't really know originally if it would be a big party, but protecting ( Read more... )

I think my mood may finally be lifting, all a result of a Paint Nite, good friendship, and driving a stick shift.

We've been slowly recovering from the washing machine debacle, there have been a few hiccups. My uncle never called today, so we were in this state of do-we-go, no-don't-go when waiting for him to come pick up the dilapidated washer ( Read more... )

It's yet another snow day in Catonsville, something I'm somewhat irritated about. I first took off today because of it being spring break and wanting some time to myself to decompress. Naturally, we got enough snow for them to hold out Fidget, so he's home with me. I'm sure I'll make do. I'll just spend today doing research and writing up in ( Read more... )

I'm currently reporting from Muzume's library, trying to get some work done since my brain has been so spinny. Not only has Momma stayed with us for a night, I stayed up too late on Thursday baking a pumpkin cake for Fidget's family, and then Friday, we didn't come home until after 2300 because of seeing said family. I awoke this morning to do ( Read more... )

The first weekend back and so far, so good. Granted, I've only had one class, but I'm hopeful! Eventually, the third class posted the syllabus, so I took a four month calendar and added in when all of the projects were due. It seems, um, doable. I'm wondering if I was just catastrophizing for so long that I thought it would be unmanageable, but ( Read more... )

I just re-inflated my stability ball back up, so I’m trying to write this post sitting about four inches higher. The stability ball was one of my attempts in order to be healthier which I bought at the beginning of this year after some tax refund money had come in. I bought one for home, figuring it would be beneficial to my back and knees to do ( Read more... )

I can only say that 2011 continues to be awesome. While I haven't composed my End of Year entry, I know it's going to be a humdinger. I have sporadically written in the planner since October-ish, so a lot will be about memory and cell phone messages. I still haven't organized my computer room, which is another reason I haven't updated. Part of ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving morning, I was reluctantly rustled from bed by a very persistent Bluejay. I haven't been sleeping a lot lately; my life has gotten too full, for which I'm thankful for, but there are times where I long for my boring life of last year. I decided to start a conversation with her half-awake, where I told her my hand was hurting and fine ( Read more... )
