still kicking

It’s been a long, damn week. Things still aren’t quite normal physically, and I feel absolutely drained. Like someone pulled the plug, and, oh look, there’s my energy & motivation in a big puddle on the floor. See it?… it’s right there. The cramping only lasted two days, but there’s been a general feeling of [...]

I spoke too soon

Should have known that I was tempting fate by sounding all calm and zen in the previous post.
Some background: I have this habit of picturing things in my head, whether it’s the perfect gift or the perfect wedding or the perfect event. I map out “The Way It Should Be According To Sarah.” And I’ll [...]

puzzle therapy

Yep, bloggy slacker, that’s me. I had an excuse at first… my laptop power cord broke, and I was stranded without the internet for 1.5 weeks, which was highly annoying.

blahblahblah

I’ve been an utter blob for two days now. Car’s still in the shop (hey, $600 worth of repairs takes a while, apparently) so I’ve been somewhat stranded. Of course, there’s always cleaning the house or doing laundry, neither of which require a car, but I choose to use my car-less state as an excuse.

pictures

Formerly pregnant, name-stealing cousin assaulted my inbox today with loads of pictures. I opened the emails. I had to. I didn’t want to, but just couldn’t help myself.
After looking at the child that has my would-be daughter’s name, I deleted all the emails except one. Now, I’m just sitting her contemplating the idea of hitting [...]
