Since starting the job at the psychologist's office, I really don't enjoy writing nearly as much as I once did. It's frustrating how much my wrists ache and how my mind empties as I think about posting to LJ. Still, I need some sort of outlet, because my job is pretty cruddy. The pay is okay, I don't stand all day, and the pace isn't brutal, at ( Read more... )

I miss the gray days and rain. We don't get many of them in L.A. Looks like spring's more or less here, in fits and starts. I've been feeling restless lately. I miss the times when cutting or coloring my hair would take the edge off. Besides, there's something of a trend for young women shaving a side of one's head ( Read more... )

Bota Boxed wine is pretty okay. Thanks to BevMo, I haven't had to restock in a while. Most recently, my sporadic booze choices have involved Bota Box's Pinto Grigio, Jeremiah Weed bourbon, and a beer from Maui Brewing Company involving coconut. The latter was okay, but too subtle in the coconut vein ( Read more... )

It's a tad chilly--for Los Angeles. It's 54 degrees, a tad breezy, and the pollen's up. I'm all itchy. Still, I'm on my own all day and don't really feel like staying indoors for all of it, so I'm gonna go for a walk. The primary objective is a pair of shoes for work. I hate shopping these days. Haaaaaaate it. I'd like to look well put-together, ( Read more... )

The Hub and I took advantage of the break in the rain to head out for lunch and take a quick trip to the library. It's been hard to feel like reading lately, but I wanted to load up just in case. It's like my brain is full after scoring psych evals all day, so it's been impossible to read anything in depth. I grabbed a couple of baseball ( Read more... )

After lots of logistics problems, phone calls, phone tag, and other malarkey, I made it to the gyno's office. ( You know the drill... )

I was finally able to sit down properly today. It's still a grimacing effort, but I can manage. ( Gross details inside... )

My best friend's mother died. I missed Denise's call this afternoon. Stupid phone didn't buzz, and I've been in and out of sitz baths all day. Massive amounts of fail all over the place. I wish I'd been able to talk to her ( Read more... )

Last year seemed unusually long, and I'm glad to look back on it. I had health probs, life probs, job probs, friend probs, family probs... On the other hand, I got to spend more time with arashikeiko and a couple of other friends, felt myself grow up a little more, and watched a lot people grow and change for the better. It was a painful year, but this is a ( Read more... )

I hate how it gets dark early, now that I use the bus to get home from work. I'm working until 5 Monday, but sunset's just before then. Work's in a business park sort of place and L.A.'s surprisingly lacking in street lighting. My neighborhood is also pretty dark at night. I don't know if I should dress to conceal myself or to not look like a speed ( Read more... )
