So as I wait for my sleeping pill to kick in, a few thoughts about Castle! Two great things that go great together, right ( Read more... )

Inexplicably mopey. Well, perhaps not really inexplicably, but it's definitely no good reason. After yesterday's spring-like temperatures, it was chilly and snowed a little bit today, and we're possibly getting more snow this Wednesday - I'm praying for a snow day. Really, it's just one of those days when all you do is see yourself in the mirror ( Read more... )

Back on the East Coast, hanging with the family in the Virginia burbs. I have been mostly happy with these prospects, especially since Back Home has been getting hammered by blizzards, but although I love my mom very much, I also know how crazy she is, and feeling cheerful despite her rapid mood swings has been a little more difficult for me. That ( Read more... )

Sometimes, you spend a day absolutely mired in fear and anxiety about something, worried that you've made a profound mistake which will affect you gravely. And there's no way to tell until a moment happens, and the bad thing either occurs...or doesn't ( Read more... )

No word from any of the therapists I emailed, which leads me to think that the email thingy on the website was not perhaps working as it should. Either that, or everybody is booked up. Will call an office directly tomorrow and see what happens. I really don't like walking through the grocery store and getting a chestburster of anxiety telling me ( Read more... )

So meeting with supervisor is tomorrow morning, so at least I can stop angsting like an idiot about it reasonably soon. But of course, it's still in front of me. This is all just my big old Imposter Syndrome thing, which stands behind me and mutters, "Now they've found out, you thought you could fool them but of course you couldn't." I picture it ( Read more... )

Tired. Work busy. Bemo doing ok. Watching dog show but will probably pack it in and go to bed soon. Tummy upset from fish oil capsule - will try freezing them since apparently it helps. Feeling thwarted and dejected and rather down-at-heel. Likely because I apparently talked in my sleep all last night about things being "tacky" and not "going ( Read more... )

I've been wanting to update, but am going through one of those phases where I have things to say but they all seem to be locked up and lacking words. Everyone around me seems to be having a hard time with things. My sister is struggling with stuff. I'm struggling with stuff. Bemo's trip to the lawyer yesterday was not very promising - if we do get ( Read more... )

A weekend of laundry, cleaning the house, hanging some artwork in a not-really-artistic-but-at-least-it's-up-off-the-floor fashion, and watching football ( Read more... )

You know, over the past many years, I've lived in a lot of apartments. I've finally come to the conclusion that it's really damn difficult to predict whether or not your experience with a rental agency or apartment complex will be a positive one, a neutral one, or a wildly negative one. Our apartment complex in Alexandria was, for us, great. A ( Read more... )
