Briefly, since I’m supposed to be getting ready, a few good and a few bad things going on. Good Stuff We finally were able to get Love’s car fixed yesterday. The belt tensioner assembly needed replacing (badly) and as a result, the car squeaked like mad every time you were in idling. Now, it’s blissfully…

Featured Project!
I was honored by the Moderators at Craftster as a Featured Project! They had such amazingly kind things to say about my work. It really made my day. You can read up on it all here on my PhoenixFire Designs Blog.
Halloween Sadness
I’ve always loved Halloween. Love? Eh, he’s never been big into it. It’s just not his thing. But our best friend Rand was always with me – he got into it and had fun with it. Since Love and I live in an apartment, we’d always go to Rand’s house on Halloween. His neighborhood had…
Tired
Thursday was day nine since the first day of my sore throat. Nine long days of being sick. I’m doing a lot better and I have about 90% of my voice back but I’m still very snotty, still have some intermittent coughing and am overall very exhausted. This morning was a non-stop nose blowing festival…
Heat Wave
Our lovely Autumn weather of the last few weeks is gone. And tomorrow, the forecast is calling for temps to be above the record high for the day. Notice several things here. Forecast high? 92F (33C) Record high for the day ever? 90F (32C) And the feels-like temp by mid-afternoon? A balmy 97F (36C)! Days…
The Cold That Will Not Die
Seriously, I want to stop being sick now. I am so tired and miserable and things are getting WORSE again, not better. Here’s the progression so far. Tuesday 10/19 – woke up with dry sore throat. Worked normal day. Wednesday 10/20 – was up most of the night with swollen, thick, razor-blade painful sore throat….
Mute
My voice, which was broken and shot from the sore throat has now managed to give out on me entirely. Dammit.

How *not* to park
I don’t know if you can tell just how bad of a parking job this is. You can see the line for the space between his tires. He was sideways, and badly covering two spots AND not even pulled in all the way in either of them.Text msg from M \ Posted via email from…
Recovering
After my boss sent me home yesterday, I went to sleep for about two hours. Didn’t do anything more strenuous after that then sit around and watch a bunch of TV. Went to bed early – was really exhausted. (You know how being sick just takes it out of you.) Woke up like four or…
Sent Home Sick
Last night, woke up around 4am with my throat feeling a tiny bit better but my nose now stuffy, running and irritated. Got up, got ready for work, got sick, went to work with chills and sweats. Thankfully my boss sent me home so I’m going to bed. Being sick sucks.
STILL Sore Throat
GRRR!! My throat is killing me!! It hurts SO bad. All day, it’s all I can think about. I can barely speak and if I do, it’s in little more then a whisper. Still no white bumps but a big, red, lump way back behind my tonsils and also red, raw sections on either side….
Sore Throat
Two of my posts now through Posterous haven’t arrived. Boo. One was from about 5:30 this morning. Would have said: Woke up tues. with sore throat. Lasted all day. Now still here and hurts worse. Cant get back to sleep. Hurts to swallow. 🙁 Yesterday I woke up with a sore throat. One of those…
Disney Dooney Has Arrived!
I’ve had the worst day today. I was a fraction of an inch from breaking down crying at work. So to have such a wonderful surprise waiting for me in my mailbox when I got home was so wonderful. My prize for winning Zannaland’s Disney Dooney & Bourke contest arrived today. Here’s the bag! I…
Depressing Sunday Night
Sunday nights depress me. It means the start of another week facing the mindless monotony of a job I can’t stand. I dread it so utterly. My mood plummets as the evening goes on and I feel desolate and hopeless. Yeah I know the economy sucks and I should be lucky to have a job….
