The Final Nail in the Coffin

The constant fighting was unsustainable. He made me an enemy. He would avoid both me and the children, locking himself away to play video games or soak in the bathtub for hours. When he did emerge, he would yell at me and the children, sometimes even lunging at the older child so that she would cower in fear or fall to the floor. The final betrayal? A day after being intimate, without a single...

Bring Back Winter

Not going to win any popularity contests for saying this, but I dislike the warm, sunny weather. It brings out droves of people who usually stay indoors and everything is busier and more annoying. Suddenly everyone is an outdoor and fitness enthusiasist; so many out of shape females jiggling and out of breath as they huff and puff in their Lululemon athleisure across the neighborhood....

Spring has Sprung

I just heard a songbird outside. The weather was noticably warmer today and there was actually a pink horizoned sunset yesterday instead of the usual darkness and gloom. I don't care that it's February and that officially winter hasn't passed until March 20th; to me, it's Spring. Other changes include embarking on graduate studies and transferring to a different role within the company I work...

Strange Dream

Sprawled across my childhood bed, he emanates quiet masculinity; sated cat seeming at rest. Fond but curious, testing mettle. [Am I enough?] Ordered disorder,Queen Khaos I am, abounding with accomplishments undone. Incapable of the straightlacedself-control, that ramrod posture he struts through life with. And yet he drawls,"Oh...

Just Please

Sick at home with a cold. I could have gone to work and braved it out, but work has recently become intolerable and the prospect of dealing with the things that get on my nerves while being sick was not something I could see myself gritting my teeth through. This is day three of calling out sick and I dread going back... Management placed a new employee in my office who is unfortunately plagued...

Hysterics

I've never considered myself one given to being hysterical (and even if I used to get panic attacks, they were primarily in my twenties living in a toxic home environment...they became nonexistent in my thirties). A day or two ago, though, I developed throbbing chest pain. I did a quick mental rundown of my symptoms and decided to take my blood pressure; it was 98/50 and a few minutes later it...

Shmeh.

I finally finished my second bachelors degree and received a bent diploma in the mail attesting to my efforts; not that it does anything in terms of increasing my pay or scope of practice, but it is still something and serves as a gateway to attaining more education. I was accepted to graduate school, but I deferred because the person I am legally tied to was not happy about this and is...

Like Everything Else...

After a trip to the vet, we learned that our cat is in kidney failure (his creatinine, the lab correlated with kidney function was 8.1; anything above 1.6 is abnormal and anything greater than 5 is stage 4 full on kidneys are about to shut down). It's hard not to believe there isn't a depressed Russian novelist writing out my life. Like what the actual fack. We got the cat as a therapy animal...

Procrastination

Somehow I banged out a paper: 5.5 pages single-spaced at >3000 words. And turned it in a day early. Now I wait for the grade I receive from my peer. I can't say that I like the idea ; all it takes is one over-zealous goody two shoes classmate giving a crappy grade. Stoopid. Whatever, it's done. I turned in my certification application last week, which hopefully will be a shoe...

Sunday Scaries

I have work tomorrow and that alone kicks up so much anxiety. But then I have a crap ton of other things I need to take care of: Giant economics paper due in a week: 5-8 pages (or 2000 to 2500 words, min-max, single-spaced; or 10-15 pages if double-spaced). I have once again procrastinated and I have no one to blame but myself. Ugh. Have to turn in my application for certification...
