My sister and I had originally planned to go to Ikea in Chicago on Sunday, but then she piked to catch up on work, so that left me a little screwed for long distance shopping opportunities. Because honestly, I needed to go to Trader Joe’s in the worst way, as we were out of red […]

After Saturday’s productivity fest, I did fuck all on Sunday. Actually, I take that back. Both our outdoor lights require these incredibly annoying little bulbs made out of fairy wings or something. You can only buy the 25 watt bulbs because otherwise they get too hot and burn the seating, and Home Depot is the […]

Yesterday morning, I woke up at 6:30 am and was completely wide awake, which sucks because what a waste of a Saturday morning. If it’s a weekend and I wake up early enough where I could plausibly make it to work on time, I feel as though I’ve failed my Monday through Friday self somehow. […]

Anyone who has ever driven in a car with me for any amount of time knows that I dislike it when other drivers throw cigarette butts out their car windows. And by “dislike” I mean, full on, balls to the wall shit storm apoplectic. I have honked my horn. I have screamed incoherent nonsense. I […]

On the fifth day, I rose again and seem to be doing better, as was projected by Esteban’s course of this mystery illness. Last night, I was able to drink a nice cabernet at my work Christmas party and didn’t throw up at the smell of food. I did manage to get through half of […]

I am still sick. Why am I still sick? Because the Baby Jesus hates me. That’s why. I had fooled myself into thinking that maybe I could look on the bright side and maybe I was losing weight, quarts at a time, but then my sister mentioned that she’s been sick since August and hasn’t […]

My Mafia Grandmother and I haven’t talked since our shouting match in the ER when she refused to have tests done after her stroke. A few weeks ago, my sister came over to my desk and applied heavy amounts of guilt about how she’s an old woman and how you just don’t know how long […]

My great grandmother used to feel that if the weather would just go from lovely mild fall weather to a good hard freeze, cold season would cease to exist. Much to the dismay of the makers of NyQuil. While I’m not sure that the woman who wouldn’t let me sit on the bare ground for […]

I would like to believe that I have gotten a hold of my body image issues somewhere along these 30 years (how sad is it that my stepfather actually scolded me for being fat when I was five) and also have thrown a lot of money at my collective wardrobe to soothe any lingering doubt. […]

Last week, it was time for my 7 week haircut and color touchup. I’m a very natural brunette right now, only a shade or two darker than my actual color, and about two shades lighter than my winter standard, which is, according to pictures from Weetapie last year, a shade too dark. And yet, I’ll […]
