… but, sadly, not in a good way. I won’t go off on an extended rant about my office temperature yet again … just want to point out that our thermostat is set below 70 degrees, yet *mysteriously* it’s a balmy 82 in my office now. {sigh} I think today will be the first time …
bleh
Well, crap. My two-months-overdue quarterly sinus infection seems to be settling in. I spent most of the day either blowing my nose or snoozing on the couch. Daniel, bless him, stayed home, too, for “moral support.” 😉 Season one of “Scrubs” was on most of the day, though I sense I probably slept through the …
life is about to get SO much better…
It’s now official… Daniel and I have made a huge decision together that will forever change our life together. (No, mom, I’m not pregnant.) Today, we bought a king-sized mattress set. Now, I adore my boyfriend, I really do, and I have spent the last thirteen months of my life sleeping with him in a …
very nice-uh
ASIDE: (indoor) office temperature check: 81.9 DAMMIT! So, I had this *really* nice dream last night. And I know you guys probably don’t care, but I’m going to tell you about it anyway. Witness the joys of blogging. 🙂 Lord only knows where this dream came from. I do have a suspicion, though, which I’ll …
what would you do?
I’ve bitched and moaned for years about how hot my damned office is. Every year when it turns cooler outside (like today, it’s — ohmygod — 65 degrees outside! crap! break out the winter sweaters!) some gremlin in our building’s HVAC system decides it’s once again time to punish Liz. I can usually make an …
I have to go buy highlighters.
I’ve had people make comments to me in the past about my appetite for highlighting. Naturally, this is a behavior reserved for school-related writing (I don’t carry a highlighter around with my latest Nicholas Sparks or John Irving read, promise!). And yesterday, during my marathon festival of reading, I literally — AM NOT EXAGGERATING — …
it didn’t even feel like playing hooky.
Yesterday, I didn’t go to work. There, I admitted it. I didn’t call in {cough, cough} sick. I just left a message on our work answering machine saying, “I won’t be in today.” And I got SO MUCH DONE. The impetus was a 1:30 meeting with one of my professors (Dr. E, if you’ve been …
humor
One of my university Web geek colleagues (and fellow GW alum!) sent out on a listserv a link to this Web site/compilation on Friday, saying, “Hey, it’s Friday!” But personally, I think humor like this is WAY more appropriate on, say, a Tuesday.

the feeling of tunnel vision
This generally does happen to me when I’m in school… this feeling of tunnel vision. It becomes very hard for me to escape thought of school. It’s an omnipresent concern, looming just above anything I might say or do. Sometimes the feeling lasts only a few days or a week; other times (like, I suspect, …
Crap! It’s October!
… and, October 3rd, to boot! I know this month is going to FLY by … because we’re attempting to have a yard sale, move, and all that fun stuff over the next 25 or so days. And, I’ve got two massively huge school projects that should be at least 2/3 done (each) by the …
