My house is quieting down, a friend leaving after the ball dropped four hours ago. The road is alive with ambulances and sirens- myself and Otter Bucket tell him not to go that way.

We cleaned today, joking that the best way to put a house in order is to throw a party in it. I didn't really know originally if it would be a big party, but protecting ( Read more... )

I thought of you last night. I came home late from a class meeting and Fidget was already in bed. He decided to go to sleep, so I got dressed and came downstairs. I've been prowling through Craigslist, trying to find things I could manipulate and upcycle for our house. I've installed wall decals and finally cleaned up our "basement." My next ( Read more... )

Again working overnights at the new house. (Really need to figure out a name for it.) They let go of the full-time overnight person, so I got a hollering phone call last week asking for my availability. Working full-time overnights was not my original idea of a Spring Break, but I'll take the extra cash flow, even if it is minimal. I've already ( Read more... )

Holy sweet Jesus, I have not updated in a LONG time. I want to say I was more optimistic when I wrote that last post, however, lately, I have been quite the curmudgeon. Indeed, I finished my group project, did my hours, did my research, and was a general rock star. I also went through another harrowing semester with a horrible woman that I'm ( Read more... )

Sometimes, you truly do need sleep. I am been in a whirlwind of vulnerability, stress, sleep-deprivation, and unbalance. I had a mini-meltdown on Thursday night, ending up quasi-crying at Fidget. I feel like I need more support than others are physically able to give me; between the stress of school, the new commuting schedule we've developed, ( Read more... )

I'm currently reporting from Muzume's library, trying to get some work done since my brain has been so spinny. Not only has Momma stayed with us for a night, I stayed up too late on Thursday baking a pumpkin cake for Fidget's family, and then Friday, we didn't come home until after 2300 because of seeing said family. I awoke this morning to do ( Read more... )

I'm doing something I haven't done in quite some time-

I'm updating nekkid.

I used to do this a lot. It seems as though the new house, since it's two floors, does not lend itself to much nekkid time. Or maybe it's better ventilated so I don't have to be as nekkid as I once was? However, I knew it had been a minute since I had written so dolled ( Read more... )

I was the last to arrive last night, fighting Harrisburg traffic and listening to old radio through valleys, trying to adjust my vision while my ears adjusted to the pressure. I drove out of brightly-lit cities shrouded in smog to dark roads with nary a light in sight. I careened up the mountain roads in what would be Onyx's first time to ( Read more... )

I have been relaxing most of the day. While I did indeed go to the bar Saturday night, it was uneventful, despite many plannings for the upcoming Epic Partay of Epic Drinking. I did do a lot of talking with Septum, and Riff Raff didn't come in, so win. Due to the holiday weekend, the bar was a LOT emptier than usual, which was just as well. It ( Read more... )

This time of year is my and Kayrin's weekend. We don't quite know why, but always around St. Patrick's Day, she's with me. She noticed this last year, and we planned for her to come down this weekend. Typically, we have "tasks" when she's down. Like last year, it was to organize and furnish Six-Foot-Three. This year, I didn't quite know what ( Read more... )
