It's now Day Three of having Socks. He moved out of the bathroom today and spent a good portion of the day napping in the office window. He's still growling and not too keen on Sadie, but there hasn't been too much kerfluffle. I had to pull him out of the bathroom today so Fidget could shower. The things we do for our pets ( Read more... )

Wednesday night was the last day of my professional schooling. I very much went about it in a haze, finally completing a take-home final and not giving a damn about my last official final. I left the campus, went for dollar tacos, and somehow ended up at my house at 0500 very drunk off of wine ( Read more... )

I returned from Florida exhausted, but felt as though I was finally getting the work done. Did a home inspection, met with a financial advisor, worked some shifts, and classes started. I'm going to be working 34 hours in the next four days. I know I'll be tired by the time we get to Mimosa and Earlier Temple's on Sunday, but it'll be satisfying ( Read more... )

It's antsiness, I assume. The semester ended, all my papers are turned in, and I am slowly waiting. I wanted to write more about how my heart is breaking in Baltimore, how my city was on fire, how I was sad/proud/disappointed/enraged/relieved. The only emotion neither Fidget or I have is fear. This is our city ( Read more... )

The smoke alarm angrily beeped in our bedroom around 0640. After waking up and realizing what was happening, I was somewhat grateful as it would be registration in about twenty minutes. I changed the battery, then crawled back into bed for fifteen minutes. Phone started vibrating. Friend had broken up with her boyfriend. I tried to manage that ( Read more... )

I turned the heat off last night because it got muggy in our house. Naturally, it's now wet and cold outside, forcing me to wear the oversized sweater Momma bought for me when I was in college. Fidget has already retired for the evening, worn down from his job. Tonight was the night we would try to figure out his school schedule, but the man's ( Read more... )

In six months, I should be graduated. Graduated from graduate school. I remembered when I started this endeavor and said something along the lines of, "Well, it's only two-ish years. I can totes do that ( Read more... )

I try to be productive. I get up every morning, make the coffee, pack his lunch, and watch him walk out to our vehicle (mine?) and drive off to earn the only salary we have now. I spend some quiet time in the morning after he leaves, snuggled under a blanket with Sadie, playing mindless puzzle games on my Kindle. Finally, around 1130, I realize ( Read more... )
