Bleah. Totally run down. Stressed out, burned out, and all-around fried. But still clinging desperately to life in the hopes that it might all settle down at some point. (It has to settle down, right?)
Thanks to a bumper crop of ragweed, I have spent the last two weeks wanting to claw […]

Bloody hell, it’s been almost twelve days since I’ve posted any new photos from the Germany trip. Harrumph. I guess that’s what happens when I let myself get distracted by other things: houseguests, complete disassembly of the office/computer space to prep for painting, work, catching up with Tivo (I can’t believe I’ve […]

Back safely from Germany without incident; even our luggage made it with no hassles. I was shooting 100-300 photos a day, so expect steaming heaps of flickr before too long.
Of course, that will have to wait until I feel clean again. Our hot water heater apparently got very lonely while we were away […]

The horrible bookends.Trip was great. Amazing, wonderful, will write more later.Getting there, hell.Getting home, not bad, but once home found hot water heater dead.What a girl would do for a shower.*sigh*

Okay, I surrender. Life has officially kicked my ass, culminating in a spectacular, week-long coup de gras involving crazy cat Julia, Liz’s Powerbook, and my now thoroughly bandaged right arm.
In general, I’ve been feeling pretty crappy, too crappy to even whine about things on LiveJournal. Work has been extraordinarily stressful–it’s been “crunch time” […]

Work is fairly unmentionable; I pulled a few 12-hour days last week, which I should probably stop doing if I’m going to be the only one (as […]

Phew! Even though I’ve been on vacation for a week, I don’t think I’ve been so busy in a long time! The cause? Liz crafted an elaborate “honey do” list to help me pass the time. Since last Friday, I’ve vacuumed, scrubbed, buffed, shined, mopped, painted, repaired, mailed, and picked up […]

I’ve been, in a bloggish sense, a bit backed up of late, due to rampant schedule craziness. It’s time I do something about that. So… Here come lots of random and largely unrelated things that I’ve been meaning to post! (Oh, how lucky you are!)

After I managed to almost ruin a sweater […]

It’s funny how much better life is when you have cats pin you down in bed for several days on end. I’m feeling significantly better, and quite thankful to have shaken off the worst of what by all accounts is the Cold From […]

Two (maybe three?) weekends ago, we woke up to discover our mailbox was laying flat on the ground. We haven’t figured out exactly why this happened, though we narrow our eyes suspiciously every time we see high school kids hanging around in front […]
