Life has been fairly unexciting lately. At work I am pretty much busy the entire time. Right now, it’s a mix between trying to describe code (most of which is *not* commented, grrr) and finishing up the tutorials I’ve been writing for some of the newest functionality that will be released in the next version […]
Saturday morning Richard and I flew up to Seattle. Everyone else arrived Friday night but I didn’t want to battle the traffic to get to the airport, and more importantly, I wasn’t exactly looking forward to the trip. It’s not that I didn’t want to see my sisters or my niece and nephews. It’s just […]
Flying home on the plane yesterday, I huddled in my seat, coat wrapped around me like a protective shield. I tried my best to doze, but it wasn’t exactly successful. The people in front of us were laughing and noisy - not disruptively so, but too animated to sleep near. I felt vaguely guilty because […]
I’ve been a little giddy all day today. It’s a silly thing, I suppose, in the grand scheme of things. The reason for my good mood is a small stack of papers, sitting beside my keyboard. It’s a nice, satisfying, 94 pages worth of paper, and the reason why it makes me so happy is […]
Dear NBC,
The Olympics are here again, and this means that, despite my unwillingness to have to deal with them, I am forced to endure your “News Personalities” on a daily basis. If I want to watch the opening ceremonies, I must listen to their inane babbling. If I want to watch figure skating I must […]
I have been lethargic and dragging for the past few days. I didn’t have any sort of explanation for it - just this dull apathy that seemed to permeate every part of me to the point where I felt as if any little thing might be just the reason I would burst into tears.
Friday I […]
One of the most frustrating things about recovering from a bout of winter cold/flu/whatever this is, is that I get exhausted really easily. I get out of bed, go downstairs and get myself breakfast and I end up with my elbows on the table, gasping for breath into my Pop Tarts (the breakfast of the […]
I made cookies Wednesday night, rolling out the dough and cutting them out with a slightly bent heart-shaped cutter I found. It wasn’t until after all the cookies were cooling on the counters that I remembered that our wedding favors were shiny heart-shaped cookie cutters, and I had one sitting on the back of the […]
There is an ice rink in this town where I work now. I’m not sure how old it is - I’ve not lived here in nearly 15 years, so it could have gone in any time in the last few decades. But I hadn’t realized it was here until today, when a coworker noted that […]
I’ve been recovering slowly from this bout of winter cold, impatient for it to be finally over since the waves of apathy have continued to wash over me at least once a day since it began. At least I knew enough to recognize what they were and I could (mostly) ignore them. I was doing […]
