At Least They're Committed

  • Aaaaah!

    Delightful vacation and still have New Year’s to look forward to! Lovely to have the 20-somethings coming in and out all day on Christmas, great food, lots and lots and lots of laughter and mockery. I would not want to be anyone other than me.

  • An average morning three days after yet another crucifixion of character

    Dutifully making my husband a breakfast smoothie of banana, berries, eggs, mixed greens and protein powder as he showers upstairs, I realize as I snap the blender to ‘off’ that someone is standing behind me in the kitchen. I don’t turn, rather reaching up for the crystal glassware to divvy…

  • Be you never safe

    Well, pity. Just when I was able to go off the antidepressants, I find out I’m not safe here either. Silly, silly TR! You will never be safe! You will never be safe! You will never be safe! You will never be safe! You will never be safe! You will…

  • A rare slow day at work when I’m sitting there waiting for people to get things back to me

    I challenge the whole “If you’re bored then you’re boring” concept because, although I’m bored out of my mind at the moment, I am not the one to judge whether I am indeed a boring person. While I understand the notion that someone ought to be able to connive or…

  • Dec. 1

    I stretch my back out, or at least try to. My wrist has stopped throbbing and my ribs seem all intact. It’s a snowy Dec. 1 in Colorado — not the nice fluffy stuff either, the icy darts that seem to attack your exposed flesh no matter which way you turn…

  • Something’s wrong . . .

    Once the thought is there, as much as your mind would like to push it away, it’s there and there’s no way of stopping it from growing. Something’s wrong. Something’s wrong with the baby. It began creeping into my head 15 years and a few weeks ago, the feisty pushing, scrambling…

  • Dutch Baby

    Was proud and relieved this morning that I was able to make Dutch Baby for breakfast. I panicked when the cupboard was bare. Note to self, when sending the guys to get the food for the birthday gathering whilst you get paper stuff and decorations, remind them that it’s a…

  • Thanks for coming

    Heeeeey! Nice to see you! Wait! I’m not in that big of a hurry. Can you stop a sec? Twenty more minutes until meeting time, we can chat! Never would I have thought it possible to be this pathetically lonely in a busy office. So, yeah, thanks for coming to…

  • Creep

    All right, I’ll admit it. I know I’m not as creepy as I’d like to think I am and I also know that a large portion of the eccentricities I display are for self protection and preservation. They tell you to talk to yourself if you feel like you’re being…

  • Spike

    Sometimes when I’m in a meeting and it’s going really, really, really long, I feel like taking my pen and shoving it through my left palm like a spike.
