Gave up and went to work. Was semi-productive, but just felt drained. Took car to Tires Plus to have my tires rotated. Don’t [...]

I wasn’t feeling too hot at work yesterday afternoon, so I came home early and cat-napped part of the afternoon/evening. I was freezing most of the time, despite it being warm in my apartment and me wearing several layers of clothes. I finally warmed up when I went to bed and slept decently, but I [...]

How long can I go before I turn on the heat in my apartment? I love fall. So crispy. I haven’t touched that dial yet, other than to have the A/C on for about a day earlier this month when it was horribly, unseasonably warm. This morning there was frost on the car windows of [...]

More details on the amusing way they found it (still in Coralville at the UPS warehouse without a label, nice) coming soon. Its been sent on next-day air and should be where it should’ve been all along tomorrow morning. One can only hope.

Grrr. Arrrgh. Weep. Last Wednesday, October 3rd, I took a framed item to The UPS Store in Coralville to have shipped to my Uncle Ron for his birthday which is tomorrow. And even that wasn’t easy. I went halfway through my lunch break intending to go to the Mailboxes, Etc. store that is downtown Iowa [...]

Dear Self, No matter how much you can’t get to sleep at night because your allergies are going crazy and making you sneeze while lying in bed, don’t take a double dose of your prescription allergy medicine if you need to work the next day. You won’t be sneezing anymore, but you’ll be completely dazed [...]

My head hurts. Too much thinking. Let’s see if can empty any of it out here. Work is still all-consuming. I don’t mind it that much really because I’m learning new things and finally getting to do things I’ve wanted to do for years. It just sucks that I’ve got to cram what looks like [...]
