    I think every woman has daddy issues. Okay, maybe not every woman.  If a child is raised by two happy parents of the same gender, I’m not sure if there would be daddy issues.  That’s unknown to me. All I know is that, from my perspective, grown women tend to have issues in relationships which… Read more

    Yeah, okay, I’m a sucker. I accepted that guy’s super late and ‘hey you’ email.  It didn’t change the outcome so I didn’t have to bother with a change-o-grade form.  But, it’s done and graded.   I’m hoping that he’ll learn a non-existant lesson to be more considerate to adjuncts in the future, but who am… Read more

    I’m feeling better now, thank you. Although I still have a simmering sensation in my throat, I’m definitely above craptastic.  That’s a perk. Class ended as well. Do you remember how you would stress out about finals when you were in school? You’d worry, maybe become anxious, and stress?   Well, that’s how it is for… Read more

    As predicted, I managed the morning snow and slush to make it to the cancer doctor. Everything checked out fine. They did just about everything but pat me on the head and give me a lollipop, which is okay.    The girl who checks me out – Samantha – knows the whole experience is pretty… Read more

    Okay, so hi there. I’m feeling better. Didn’t wake up with Athena splitting brain cells this morning. The throat doesn’t feel like it’s completely made out of molten lava.   I was able to tame it enough to down some soggy cereal — because Honey Graham corners are just to sharp right now. Better.  Better and… Read more

    Day ??? of feeling like crap weakly warmed over. But.. this day is a little different. This day comes with a couple of cold sores and a fairly numbed grading brain. —  I suppose fever sores would be more accurate.   Mom said I used to get them when I had a bad fever. I was… Read more

    Well, I still pretty much feel like crap on a crap shingle. Yesterday was particularly rough. By about nine p.m, I was shivering and sweating buckets.  I wasn’t really sleeping, but more unconscious.  When I woke, which was frequently, it was to drink what felt like a liter of water, soda, tea… just anything I… Read more

    The weather is 30, not 80. It’s been raining on and off for the past couple of days instead of a blue sky. The rivers swell and I’m wearing pants, not shorts.  (Blue jeans, even if they’re out of style.) I’m in a house of four others instead of just one. I don’t have to… Read more

    Something strange happened this morning. I fell. It wasn’t just a little fall either.  It had two parts. First, there was the pre-lack of coordination.  This is when I performed the morning ritual of bribing… not giving… bribing the cat with some 6am snacks as a way let Jason get another hour of sleep before… Read more
