My So Called Life
All the random ass shit that happens. Read at your own risk.
Day-to-day dispatches from a life that is technically ordinary and somehow never boring. Work problems, relationship observations, aging indignities, boundary violations, and the occasional moment of genuine clarity that makes all the rest of it worth it. The catch-all category for everything that doesn't fit neatly anywhere else — which, honestly, describes most of real life.My kingdom for a pretzel
Life interrupted my plans once again. If only the pretzel place at the mall delivered to my house. Or at all.
I’ve got the pre-holiday blues…
What to do? I am generally overwhelmed and completely unmotivated for this holiday season. Maybe it was the two days of gray and rain, maybe it’s the stress of moving and unpacking, but I definitely have the pre-holiday blues!
Sunday, Sunday
I love the chain of events that led to family movie night! Got woken up by my phone with the notice that I had a text from Redbox with their free movie code for December.
Having a Senior Moment
Birthday anxiety at 35: four years until I'm officially old. At least the books saved me from drowning in pumpkin pie ice cream.
Going Mental in the Rental
One month in the New Jersey rental. Still unpacking. Christmas in 23 days. The crockpot is the only thing keeping me sane. Certain people expect a meal when they get home.
