In which I vent about the strange side effects of surviving for five decades. I’ve been unusually healthy most of my life, I think. Always felt robust and fine the majority of the time, barely even noticed my body. Had one surgery, wisdom teeth out, and a root canal. A ganglion cyst on my left […]
In which there was spaghetti for dinner! I made tofu “meatballs” today. (The recipe is here.) I’ve never eaten actual meatballs, so it was a strange exercise, but hey: I had all the ingredients on hand and needed to use up the tofu! Alone, they’re really bland, but in sauce they’re fine. (I didn’t make […]
In which I was able to quit a job I very much did not enjoy and replace it with one that involves CHEESE. I applied to, like, between 17 and 22 jobs over about a month’s time. Two declined via email; none of the others even responded, save I think one that sent a “we […]
In which I bitch about the job market. I work for a distributed call center. (Yes, I’m white trash like that. Ye gods.) A year ago, I moved off phones into a chat pilot, which was great. They made us take three chats at a time for awhile, which was fucking insane, but chats are […]
In which there’s a thought. You know, if you’ve found some old post here in which I’ve said stupid shit, please feel free to ignore it. Over the course of keeping this blog, I’ve thought a lot of stupid shit, and I can almost guarantee that whatever it was I eventually got over it. I […]
In which a favorite author has died. Several writers have said today that they think they’d have been afraid to meet Harlan Ellison. Well, I’m not a writer, so I guess I don’t have a writer’s fear of having my work critiqued by Harlan goddamned Ellison, but I’ve been around smart, mouthy men, and if […]
In which there’s travel! And I repeat myself! Going to see Amma in D.C. this weekend! Jai Ma! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I think this is my twentieth year in a row going to see Her, which is astonishing and weird. Staying in a Marriott. My man decided not to come […]
In which there’s, uh, random stuff. Kitchen sink’s been filling up with water from the pipes, so I haven’t done dishes in days. Plumber’s coming tomorrow to fix it, but then I’ll have to do the dishes. Already cleared out the cupboard under the sink, so the visit shouldn’t be too terrible. Leaving for DC […]
In which LOL HORMONES. As you wade deeper into perimenopause, well, there are these looooong lists of exciting symptoms to experience! I’m at least halfway through the list now, if not more, and it SUCKS and I want to complain: Thinning hair. Skin elasticity loss. Irregular (in my case, shorter) cycles. Anxiety. Arrhythmia. Tingling extremities. […]
In which there’s a blog post! ABOUT NOTHING. It’s late May. The air conditioner’s been in for a week. There was a thunderstorm earlier and the power flickered but didn’t go out, so, sadly, I had to keep working ’til the end of my shift. It was fairly slow and I didn’t get skilled for […]
