welcome to my anxious brain
I drove over an hour in Bay Area commute traffic the other night to meet a friend for dinner at a steakhouse (i.e. I ventured through hell for food). It was totally worth it. Between the absolutely delicious wine, the extra bread, the sop-up worthy drunken prawns, and the key lime dessert, there was Steak […]
Sigh. If I didn’t have important alcohol consumption plans for the rest of October, I would totally leave for my new life tomorrow. I’m ready. Really, really, ready. I’ve been couch surfing for a month now, mostly on the same couch, but still not my couch. Not my own space. Not my personalized comfort zone. […]
It’s been nine days since we last chatted. Well, since I last chatted *at* you, but whatever. I’m on Couch #4 (which technically is Couch #1), at my chosen-sister’s house.

OH.MY.GAWD. I am exhausted beyond exhausted. The removal of my stuff from the apartment isn’t going as smoothly, or quickly, as I would like. I’ll just flat out say it…I’m on my period. And my periods are hellish. Like, near-hemorrhaging hellish. Doing 85% of my move alone, while on the heaviest days of my period, […]
Oh my. So much has happened since I last wrote. Google it. In the meantime, here’s a little bit of breaking news from my world. I.AM.SINGLE. I literally thought I would never say that again. I honestly thought I found the right guy this time. But, alas, as with so many other thoughts I’ve had […]
