Had a good train trip. They feed you good food and lots of it, and don’t treat you suspiciously like in airports. You meet lots of people. I liked it so much that from now on if I’ve got the time and the money I’m taking the train instead of flying – and this time [...]

Both fine cultures, known for their, uhh…. thriftiness? Tight-fistedness? BEING A CHEAPARSE?? James and I met at our favourite coffee shop, and they have a sign that says “Bring a handmade Christmas tree ornament, get a free coffee!” Free stuff eh? I brought a handmade ornament. I don’t even LIKE coffee. Good espresso straight up [...]

I have another pumpkin in the fridge. had Christmas with James’ dad on Friday and his mom on Saturday, since James and I are leaving for my parents’ on Wednesday. I got [...]

Went home early Tuesday. Stayed home all day yesterday. Today I dragged myself into work (an hour late, and left an hour early). I regret this decision since I feel even worse. If I’m still feeling terrible in the morning then it brings up the awkward dilemma of how to call in sick when you [...]

I think so anyway. I have the sniffles and the postnasal drip and I’m so so tired even with 8 hours of sleep. Debated taking a sick day but decided not to. So, James’ company Christmas party… the party itself was fine, if a little too formal. It would have been nice to have it [...]

My bead box (really a tackle box) was sitting on my bed and I grabbed it by the handle to put it away. Unfortunately the lid wasn’t actually latched and I spilled my whole top tray. Thousands of beads everywhere.

I finished three rows today of the shawl I’m knitting. Two more to go, then the edging, and that’s it. I’m so glad… not that I don’t like it, it’s just I’ll feel so happy to have finished this HUGE THING. Well before Christmas even. I got a pair of shoes today as well, for [...]

I’m back on the pill again. I was on it for about 6-7 years, starting when I was 16ish. It was the only thing that really helped with my awful cramps. It also made me super depressed and I didn’t figure out that’s what the culprit was till just last year or something. So I’m [...]
