Wow, it's been quite the three weeks.

I've managed to get from "Okay, what needs to happen in the next hour to keep the store operational?" to "What needs to happen in the next couple of days?" This isn't to say there still isn't a major crisis every day. But at least I'm not handling five at once.

The last manager left the store (my store, ( Read more... )

In two weeks, they're going to give me a store ( Read more... )

Today is the first anniversary of my spinal diskectomy, a surgery that made it possible for me to be on the computer more than fifteen minutes at a time, that made it possible for me to work, that made it possible for me to be something other than a lump in my parent's house. The surgeon removed two bone spurs, things that they couldn't see ( Read more... )

Item 1: My sister has had a baby boy. He was born September 5th, and I must say he's a pretty darn cute baby. His name is Adonai, which apparently means 'My Lord' or something.

Yes, I'm one of those people that stood in line for Harry Potter in the middle of the night. I really couldn't work up an enthusiasm for it, as I wasn't going with anyone. It turned out to be one of those 'alone in a crowd' nights. You never feel quite as alone as you do when you're surrounded by people that completely ignore your existence. I ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here at the computer, the lights off, a candle lit, and my blinds completely open. I can see the fireworks from at least seven different displays (three of which I KNOW to be totally illegal) right at this very second. I've always liked the Fourth of July. Maybe its because its always been a special occasion, as far as my father's ( Read more... )

It's about a week after I got back from Florida, but I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off. There's been so many things to do- I'm not used to that.

( The trip was wonderful... )

"It's a comfort to know that this isn't a test."

I was going to write about a lot of things, but I've run out of time. The only thing I have left is the quote above. It's from House. That's a good show ( Read more... )
