Still not good at the whole getting up and being motivated thing, but I did manage to get up and have coffee with Steve this morning and that was really good ( Read more... )

Ward 6 is this local hip place that serves amazing brunch food, located on a busy street on the east side of St. Paul (read: not a super great neighborhood). It was one of the catalysts to revitalizing the street, where several new establishments have cropped up and people want to spend their time walking up and down it. The problem with Ward 6 ( Read more... )

I came back to school feeling a lot calmer overall. I feel like my tolerance level has been reset and I am comfortable with the students and my relationships. HOWEVER, I am also experiencing a bout of depression. My functioning has been decreasing, and Steve's been pointing out my lack of interest in things, my inability to complete tasks, and ( Read more... )

Oh no, I'm back to only sleeping as my hobby when I'm not at work! I hate not having the energy to do the things I love, because I have been soooo in the mood to knit my socks or play ITG.

I started a pair of socks in Gauge Dyeworks yarn, and good lord is it amazingly soft and perfect. I would make socks forever out of only that brand. Steve and I ( Read more... )

I have some big news pending, but I don't want to say anything unless it's for sure. Suffice to say, fingers crossed and I hope to be able to share it with you soon! Well, I will either way but let's hope it all works out ( Read more... )

I’m trying not to freak out about next week.

When I talked with ( Read more... )

It's happening again. I thought I was doing super well (and I was!!) because I didn't get my usual October Depression, but apparently it was just waiting around for me to get overwhelmed and busy, because it appears to be creeping up hardcore, just waiting for a catalyst. It became apparent when I realized on Saturday that I had missed a discussion ( Read more... )

So, I had a looooong day at work and just needed some couple time. I feel like I've been taking Steve's love as a given and therefore a bit for granted. That's not cool. So we went shopping at our favorite B-ville mall, got cutie dinner, horribly messed up Caribou coffees - I ordered a small Northern Lite Vanilla Latte hot, he ordered a medium ( Read more... )

I spend a lot of time on the internet reading blogs about how to be a better person. Or being on school websites on how to be a more "educated" person. Or on tumblr about how to be a funnier person. But mostly I read about other people's lives and compare them to my own and try to figure out what I can learn about myself in order to be a happier, ( Read more... )
