It’s been pointed out to me by a couple of friends that I come across as pretty sad lately on this blog. I think I mainly have been inspired to blog when I’m worried or upset or sad about something, so the emotional balance here is skewed. Anyway, it just occurred to me [...]

a fun day

We (Greta Jane and I) went to Webs, the Montague Bookmill, the Meetinghouse used bookstore, Whole Foods, the Northampton sidewalk sales, and then back home. A very fun day. And we did it all with the help of W’s new GPS thingy for the car (an early anniversary present) that told us how to get [...]
a visit

A friend from school is coming to visit this weekend. She’ll be here very soon, in fact. We’re going to go play in Northampton and other nearby locations tomorrow, then to a concert at Tanglewood on Sunday. I’m very excited. W has tons of around-the-house projects to attend to, so Greta Jane and I will [...]
yet again

I didn’t get this job either. The one that “Bob” called and spent 45 minutes trying to talk me into applying for. That one. The one that I was doubtful about, then excited about. The one that made my soul lift and gave me hope that I could be myself again. He just called and [...]
done (no spoilers, I promise)

I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows last night just before midnight. I was going to post this last night right away, but I fell asleep. Way past my normal bedtime, you know. All I’m going to say is that it was really good.
plays nicely with others

Today was my new coworker’s first day. So I spent the whole day sitting next to her, teaching how to do what we do. It actually went very well. She was pleasant, smart, fun, and interesting. We’ve already had some nice conversations. I have no reservations about sharing close quarters with her, which is a [...]
finishing things

I have a problem finishing things. I’ve always had difficulty finishing projects and stuff like that. I think it’s about not liking things to be over. I remember crying at midnight on New Year’s Eve as a kid because 1988 was over forever, and we would never ever see it again. Recently, [...]
brain splat

Yesterday’s post was…a little insane. Sorry about that. I wrote the first half of it after getting the phone call about the job, when I was still trying to get my head around what was going on. Then I talked it over with W and also with one of our friends who [...]
an opportunity

I got a phone call last night, offering me a job. (Well, asking me to apply for a job, but I think I’ll get it if I apply.) I’m trembling.
Here’s the background. Six years ago, I went to school to become a minister. I graduated two years ago, and haven’t done anything with it. I [...]
timing

I was looking at the calendar, trying to figure out when we might start insemming if we finally do get our act together. Probably not this cycle (I just started my period) because that’s right when we leave for vacation. Maybe it would work, but that’s too soon, anyway. Okay, so more likely the soonest [...]
