INSIDE OUTSIDE UPSIDE DOWN

It has started out as a very very bad week. I got the news Monday morning that our graphic designer in the US quit. In addition, one of the freelancers that we really rely on is seriously ill and doesn’t know when she’ll be able to start working again. Work was insane to begin with and all this just pushes my team and I to the brink. URGH. I had planned to take a week of vacation in 2 weeks because I have 6 days that I have to use or lose by April 1st and now, I honestly don’t...

THREE STRIKES YOU’RE OUT

Today was my day for what Martin so amusingly terms my “spelunking procedure” or in other words, the hospital visit to have my IUD retrieved and replaced. I got a call from the nurse on Wednesday to tell me my operation time was at 10:00 a.m. and that I was not to eat anything after midnight the night before, and that I could only drink water or “clear liquids” up to 2 hours beforehand. Does vodka count as a clear liquid? Inquiring mind wanna know. Last night I was kind of freaking out about the whole thing and I couldn’t...

I SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE IT

Eaten so much at lunch Laid down on the couch after the in-laws left, to read Fallen asleep Napped for 2 hours Talked to anyone after I woke up Now I’m tired and grumpy and I’m still full.

PRIVATE PARTS

Once upon a time, I wrote a blog post that had a warning label on it. Male readers were advised to move along and read something else. I’m slapping up that same disclaimer today. Seriously, boys, go find something else to read. You’ll thank me. The blog post was about birth control, specifically mine, and how I had once again, fallen prey to my particular brand of math-impairedness. Refresher. Go on, I’ll wait. One would think it couldn’t get worse. But one would be wrong.

ALL DISTRACTIONS WELCOME

I’m all aggravated this week, my shoulders up around my ears and shooting pain down the muscles of my neck. Work is making me crazy or rather certain someones with no real way to resolve the issue. Thankfully tomorrow is Friday and while I’m not exactly GLAD that my family is going away for 3 days without me, I can’t deny the idea of 2 days of absolute peace-and-quiet slugville are quite appealing at the moment. QUITE. Have fun, y’all! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out! I read a sad book and it made me cry....

WILLING MYSELF

It seems to take a gargantuan effort to get here and then when I do, meh. I am lame, admittedly. I have been blogging/journaling online/writing here since August of 2003. Dude! that is TEN YEARS!! I used to write 1-2 times a DAY in the beginning and once a day for years and years. Big, long, looping posts full of wishes and dreams and memories and happenings and what not. Now? I seem to have trouble conjuring up a simple paragraph describing my day, much less anything of actual importance. I know that bloggers and writers go through sterile periods...

SIZZLE AND SIGH

Feeling the burn, but not the one I should be. More the burn of going down in flames. The searing sound of burn-out headed my way if I don’t look out, brake hard, turn this bus around. Teenage drama at home is definitely not helping matters. Heavy sigh Paris was a whirlwind one-day zoom in and out of the office. Which is actually in Antony, which is quite some ways from Paris itself, so I never had a glimpse of anything remotely Parisian, though there WERE macarons in the airport, which I restrained from. The plane was delayed an hour...

SWIFT KICK IN THE BUTT

Work, sleep, work, sleep, work, sleep, work. Hmmm, I think I might be in a rut. It’s not the first time, and I’m pretty sure it won’t be the last, but I need to find a way to start climbing out of it. I could do something drastic, but I’m not really the drastic type. Although, come to think of it, maybe trying ON drastic would be a sure-fire way to leap, arms akimbo, from the bottom of this gorge. It’s not THAT deep…yet. Drastic things: quit my job, leave my family, move, shave my head oooh, far too drastic....

NOT AN EXCUSE

I used to stay up really late. I’d write long blog posts after 10 pm and get them posted right before midnight. If my subject required it I’d spend a lot of time researching information to use in my writing. Or I’d read and read and read all my blogs and sites and use that as fodder for writing. Nowadays, I have to WREST the computer away from my kids or stay up late to use it, and sadly…I’m ready for bed by 10. In fact, most of the time, I’m ready for bed WELL before 10. Even if I...
