I've really been suffering from anxiety lately. No attacks or anything, but enough that I have lost most of the joy in my life, and I'm annoying people so bad someone has started lecturing me about why I need to stop worrying. That's pretty bad ( Read more... )

My husband's in a place right now where he's pissed off and stressed and I can't reach him. And I feel so powerless. He wants me, somebody, anybody, to fix everything, but I can't, nobody can, not right away, not right now, and he knows it, and he feels powerless and angry because of it. And disappointed. And how it would be so easy to just give in ( Read more... )

Any clues how to break into a new job during a recession? I am so fed up with not living with my husband, I'm willing to take anything that is not accounting or quality control, pays $15/hr or more, and is full-time. Preferably not in the sex trade and includes health benefits ( Read more... )

I know I write about how awful my life is, and all things considered I have it pretty good. I own two working vehicles, a house, I'm healthy, in a healthy relationship, and can pay (most of) my bills ( Read more... )

I'm ready to move on with my life; live with my husband, start planting more vegetables because I know I'll be there to harvest them. Paint my living room. Defend my thesis and be done, degree in hand. Do something new with my career. Have Rafe's career finally take off. Go travel, try new foods. Start up a new hobby, or re-start one. Make plans ( Read more... )

I s'pose I could have tweaked more. I could have read through it one more time. I could have had someone else look at it before I pushed the "send" button ( Read more... )

Yes, I am one of the few people in the world who can say this, but I say it loud and proud ( Read more... )

This totally deserves it's own post.

Rafe and I got a dog. We've been talking about getting one since the third day we knew each other, and it finally happened.

See pics of him and Rafe playing here.

His name is Jackson. It's the name he came with and coincidentally was the name of the dog my parents had when I was born. He is a malamute/siberian ( Read more... )

I think if I didn't write for a living, have a thesis I'm supposed to write, AND work on two blogs officially and two unofficially, I'd be much more likely to write in this journal. AND now that it automatically feeds to facebook unless I am quick and push the "no way jose" button, which I do not like at all...

I've been up since 5 am, and feel like ( Read more... )
