I put Bindu down on Saturday. She was 14. She’s buried at my uncle’s place, just outside of town. I can’t really talk about it right now. I’m pretty much avoiding Twitter, Facebook, email, and my phone UNTIL I CAN FUCKING DEAL. Which I totally can’t just yet. Thank you for your well wishes.
In which I need to vent or cry or complain or get a hug or something. Bindu kept me up much of last night with terrible episodes involving screaming (the vet calls it “vocalizing”) and panting and whimpering and coughing; she’d calm down and almost sleep in between, but every couple of hours it would […]
In which I had a superfun birthday week, and here are the digital images to prove it! sun – Watched NOVA online and knitted and basically recovered from the previous day’s gig. Watched an awesome Bollywood flick. mon – Worked, but only two hours because there was an outage. Didn’t study AT ALL. Bought dog […]
In which I’m kinda disappointed. School starts on Monday. I’m registered, I’ve finally started to get financial aid awards, and I have a list of stuff I need to buy at the bookstore. So exciting! And the city buses have bike racks, so I can ride up to the transit center and take a bus […]
In which it’s… well, if not the best story, at least there’s a learning curve. That’s always good, right? Over the last few months, I’ve invested a non-trivial amount of time in reading up on bicycle maintenance. There are all kinds of informative articles and videos on the Internet, and it’s just a bike, right? […]
In which I haven’t posted in ten days and need to correct that little oversight. Since my last post, I have – gone to the county fair: – danced at the Stone Hut’s outdoor parking lot fair event thing, which was ended by a torrential downpour and at which I was nearly trampled. – played […]
In which I need to whine and complain. (Don’t read this drivel. Seriously. Go read something else. I am such a baby.) The boys over at Cocky & Rude nagged me into joining their diet competition back in July, and even though I haven’t really been dieting, I have been weighing myself every Wednesday and […]
In which I describe the awesome side-effects of suddenly halting one’s intake of various toxins. I smoked my last cigarette in the parking lot of a condo in Joseph, OR on August 14th. I had been heading toward that moment for months, really, and I was ready for it. I didn’t even want that final […]
In which I catch y’all up on how things are going lately. THE SPOKANE TRIP last weekend was, on the one hand, really fun. I enjoyed getting out of town for a couple of nights. The motel bed was far more comfortable than my own. I enjoyed sight-seeing in Spokane, and eating at Frankie Doodles, […]
In which it’s ALL good news, people. It’s like Xmas in August, I swear. Today is Day 5 of my smoke-free life. I quit smoking on the 15th. I’m using 2mg lozenges for NRT and I’m “workin’ my quit” (that’s lingo from becomeanex.org) and I’m doing really well. I wasn’t even a little bit miserable […]
