    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

  • On an island.

    There once was a man who lived on a small island.  Coming from a fairly well-off family, he desired political power and, eventually got it through various and, sometimes, not-so-nice means. But, during this time, he built roads, opened a record number of schools, and was honored with numerous awards and certificates, including the Chinese… 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

  • 2/28 – Part two

    ..   I really don’t have anything to do right now, so I thought I’d just sit here and type. –  I need to write more and this is apart of it. So, How to Train Your Dragon was kind of meh.   I didn’t see the second one and saw the first one when it first… 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

    Today has been odd. Odd as in not weird odd, but odd as in I’ve felt like crap. Headache, dizziness, feeling weak. No coughing or runny nose or anything. Just the general crappy feeling. A crap tomatoe and pickle sandwich with a side of crap. The crap in the CRAAP test. Just…. crap. For some… Read more
