Life is one continuous wave with some really high points and really low points and all the points in between. Sometimes the wave kind of flattens out and all is good. Other times it's up and down, up and down...

I'm feeling very anxious about 4 to 6 months from now. I'm feeling a lot of pressure. There are too many variables that I can't safely ( Read more... )

It's been an interesting week.

1. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving, I got a parking ticket for an expired meter. In a parking lot that I have a downtown resident parking permit for. Um, what?! After much calling around, being given the runaround, brushed off, and finally told to write a letter to contest it, I requested a copy of my permit ( Read more... )

My dad found a box full of pictures and other things in our basement recently and I went through some of it yesterday. Part of the box was stuff from Paul's funeral that I didn't get the chance to go through because my dad put the box away at that point. But the other part was mostly pictures I've never seen before.

Instead it's going to be about making things and she's apparently going to give the audience something that is completely free. I admit that I ( Read more... )

At last night's HDC meeting, it was revealed that the owner of a property that needs to be demo-ed has Alzheimers, which is why it's taken him so long to submit a demolition application package and why he's had so many issues doing it. The sad part to me was that his daughter has basically washed her hands of him because she can't deal with his ( Read more... )

There's ( Read more... )

This morning I got gas for $2.13; if I would have had enough cash, it would have been $2.09. Just awesome. Seriously.

I've kind of been asked to stay on here in Lansing through the spring. To consider it at least. Honestly, I'm not sure and I'm attempting to weigh how important the extra money is versus my life next semester.

Next semester I'll have ( Read more... )

So um, this Sunday the Great Lakes Sanctuary (bunny rescuers!) is having an open house fundraiser from 12-5. It's $6 per person. And there are BUNNIES! I kinda really want to go just to get my bunny fix since I can't have one. Anyone want to come with me and squee over bunnies and raise some money for the cute bunny-kins ( Read more... )
