THUD

Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I’m NOT all that. Maybe I’ve been fooling myself all along. Once I thought I might set the world on fire somehow, in some small way, but right now I’m just flagging; fatigued. Maybe I need to take a closer look and face the facts: I might be neither as young nor as good as I think I am. Thought I was. Thunk. If I were a leaf I’d be spiraling down through the air toward the long decay on the forest floor. Drained of suppleness but bright in color, my deciduous heart. Anger comes first,...

GRUMP

What is the point of having a husband around when he won’t let you put your really cold hands inside his shirt to warm them UP?!

PICK ONE, THEN COMMENT! COMMENT SOME MORE! I LOVE IT!

I wonder what else I could write about besides BREAKFAST that would get so many comments. Candy favorites? Sex positions? Ways to add extra time to your day? The best book you EVER read, EVER? Nah. Bacon and cinnamon sugar toast and English muffins and filmjölk would probably top them all. Total monster drama day today. I’m wiped. I fucking HATE drama. Hate it. With a capital F. Tomorrow Anders comes home and I’m taking the kids to sushi. Also buying stuffing at the American store. Take that, drama! I get knocked down, but I get up again, you ain’t...

STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, THOUGH I THOUGHT I WAS THROUGH

I still sound verrrry sexy, but I actually felt worse today, compounded by unexpected project loads dropped on head at work. Sushi with a friend before the AWC meeting helped though and the new board seems very gung-ho which makes me happy. The kids are going to farmor and farfars tomorrow and staying overnight. My mom is coming for 3 weeks in December and I am thrilled about that. This morning, at work, I seated myself at the breakfast table and someone said hello to me and when I grrrrrrowled hello back, she was taken aback and asked me rapidly,...

UHHHN

I honestly don’t remember the last time I was this sick. I’ve spent the majority of the past 72 hours huddled in a ball, fully dressed with 2 thick sweatshirts on, under 3 heavy blankets…shivering. If I’m NOT shivering, I’m sweating and throwing everything madly off. If I’m not sweating OR shivering I’m laying poleaxed with a headache and a sharp pain in my shoulders and neck as they try to crawl up around the top of my head where shoulders and neck have no right to be. My cheekbones feel like sharp glass. My throat keeps surprising me with...

IN WHICH LIZ FAKES YOU OUT WITH LOTS OF TYPING

Too much going on which is calling me away from here right now. I’m around—just not very vocal, it seems. I’d write a list of what’s going on this week/month/season but I suspect everyone would just yawn and be all “yeah, you’re busy, what else is new?” If you had just gotten a big wooden sideboard with 2 drawers and 2 cabinet doors on the front with carved apples with leaves in squares in the center of them, what color would you paint it? It’s currently white, which we don’t want. Anders suggested grey (probably to stave off my penchant...

AUGH

Maybe the only way to stop this horrifying trend is to put HUMANS on the list as well. Because we will be. At the rate we’re going. Read more

CROSS PATCH

There’s nothing as aggravating as having a completely perfect blue-sky sunshine day marred by a horrible pissy mood. It was brought on by the flies, which is par for the course this time of year, waking us up before 5 a.m…I couldn’t get back to sleep after the bloodbath because it was so bright in the room. The first really sunny day we’ve had in weeks and I grumped through the first half of it like a bear roused too early from hibernation, finally kicking aside the covers and getting up with a headache that settled in the back of...

NOT MUCH TO SAY BUT I’M SAYING IT ANYWAY

The twitch in my eye and shoulder, you ask? Where did they come from? From not being able to post this entry on LJ for THREE FOUR FRICKIN’ DAYS. I had to keep changing the tenses with each passing day of aggravation and frustration until my head nearly exploded. Thanks to e11en for reminding me I could post via email. *twitch* *** It’s June. Anders and I had our 11-year wedding anniversary on Friday but we didn’t really celebrate it since I had a work event to go to. Instead we took the kids for sushi the day after. Of...
