Last week, I opened the door to hustle the baby to the bus stop, and gasped when I saw a big, flat package on the porch. My diploma. My Master’s degree. Live and in the flesh paper-and-faux-leather-case. Faced with a cartoonish amount of student debt (when I think of the total, which I’ve been advised not to [...] I don’t know what I think about fate and powers greater than us and whatnot. I know that the universe is not something that I can comprehend but that sometimes it seems to work for a minute or two. With me trying desperately to get out of the emotional k-hole that I had been in, the [...] So, it’s been *checks watch* two weeks since I posted here last. I knew that I was going to make time to do so today and thought about a few different approaches: pick up with a goofy story like I haven’t been silent for days, explain some of the messy contents of my life. I don’t [...] The other night, I had just drifted off to sleep. Our cat was curled up against my tummy, purring away and giving me some extra warmth. I was reaching that really good point of sleep when a small, familiar voice woke me up with a phrase that always makes me panic: “Mum. I don’t feel so [...] It began to snow. “Listen – that soft, tinkling sound – like tiny, crispy shards of glass shattering on the snow.” “You know what it is?” “What?” “That sound…It’s the STATIC being discharged by each snowflake because the air is so dry.” – Blankets One night, a few weeks ago, when the snow was still above my knees, I walked to [...] The husband and I are not big Valentine’s Day people. Sometimes we do stuff to mark the occasion, but usually we don’t. This year, we had some tentative plans, but we got some bad news a few days beforehand and were just too bummed out to care. For whatever reason, the past few years, I’ve started [...] Last night, I told the husband, “Whoa, work is closed AGAIN tomorrow!” marveling at the effects the recent fubar weather conditions had had on the city in general. As a result, we’ve been in the house mostly non-stop since Friday. A few hours later, he said, “So, do you have work tomorrow?” I thought for a minute [...] Hello, from the paralyzed tundra formerly known as Pittsburgh. I won’t bore you with yet another series of pictures of people standing waist-deep in snow, because, really, there’s no new ground to break there. It’s snow. It’s white. There’s a lot of it. I will insert a little slideshow that you can view or not [...] One of my quirky pet peeves is inefficiency. Specifically, inefficient packaging. As insignificant as a concern as this may be, I think it will start to have significant consequences as people rely more on e-commerce and shipping in terms of costs, both financial and environmental. So, for the baby’s birthday, I ordered (shh, don’t tell) this [...] Hi. I’ve just returned from the ridiculously overpriced on-campus convenience store where I procured Pepto Bismol because things have gone all wrong in my stomach. I’ve been grappling with what I can only describe as extreme hunger since early this morning and the only explanation that I can come up with is that since I’ve [...]  |
