OK- so Rob is working a night job now- 10pm to 6 am and he started Tuesday night and hasn't had a full 8 hours of sleep since then. I keep telling him to just go lay down in the bedroom in the dark with the tv on low and see if he can fall asleep- it worked tuesday before his first night- but since then- he is stubbornly trying to do stuff in the ( Read more... )

Went to Burning Man this year- again- skipped last year for various reasons and sent Rob without me. So this year. We entered the ticket lottery- thought we didn't get tickets when the emails started to arrive back at the beginning of the year and started to talk about going somewhere else this year- then it turned out we did get tickets as did ( Read more... )

I am officially done with my accounting classes and am going to start taking business classes to work up to the CPA exam etc. Meanwhile I'm looking for work and having a few insecurities about where to send my resume and how to preface it with cover letters- I blow at cover letters. And I'm not really sure where I should be applying. So I've got ( Read more... )

So I've been doing these accounting classes on Sundays since September, Labor Day 2011... and I'm on my 7th class and I'm just getting tired of it. It's loads and loads of new math information coming at me fast each week and I have 4 weeks to get it solidly in my brain before taking a final and then it's on to the next class and the next load of ( Read more... )

I just feel like crap this week. My legs are aching and I haven't done enough or too little to make them ache and they've been bugging me a few days. I keep thinking I have a fever- but I'm under normal by a degree. I'm depressed and a little weepy and I don't know how much of it is hormonal and how much is something else that's bugging me. I had a ( Read more... )

So I have a fair amount of friends and once upon a time they were all capable of being in the same house or club together at an occasion. But over the years they have split into factions. Some got married and had children and moved out of the immediate area. Some went arty, some went business, some got more conservative, some got more liberal. Of ( Read more... )

So it's garbage night and Rob was tired and crashed right after dinner. I remember around 10:30 it's garbage night- take care of Elvis for the night and take out the trash a little before 11. The neighbor comes out around the same time and mentions that a creepy guy was hanging around her car earlier- not someone she knew. And yes, I do live in the ( Read more... )

I have  tax final on Sunday and should be studying now and will more later but am currently procrastinating and typing in here. Got a B on the first one so not hating or dreading the test - but am totally procrastinating ( Read more... )

Had my first test on tax today. I don't feel like I totally flubbed it- I know I got a couple questions wrong- but I don't think too many. I', surprised to be enjoying Tax. Beginning acct. was interesting and not ridiculously hard. Intermediate 1 was hard- but almost more because of the teacher than the subject matter- a lot of it was the stuff I ( Read more... )

It's officially December and it's been a big year- ugh- I realize that a lot has happened. It sort of flew by.
 I made a clown calendar with a little help from my friends- that was January. I was the Easter Bunny- that was April- I got laid off - that was May- I planned a wedding and got married- that was January to October- I took care of my nephew ( Read more... )
