I’ve got an afternoon only job for tomorrow, so that will give me time to do all the wonderful things I need to do tomorrow. Namely, go find the head of AOHell and kick his ass. Or maybe I’ll just call my debt collector and have a nice chat about AOHell. I […]

Sunday is weigh in day. I was scared and ready to get mad and depressed, but I’m down 2.5 pounds! That’s a good start for the diet. I did an unofficial weigh-in last night and was down 3 pounds, but it was at a different time of day so didn’t really count. I […]

I am so tired. I need to go to bed and just forget about making a diary entry today. Can I do that? Of course not. I am addicted to this diary like some people are addicted to crack. I must like the sound of my own thoughts. Sound? My thoughts usually […]

Two very, very, very tentative but immensely exciting pieces of news.
1) Mike’s department might not have to move to Maryland. They might get to move out further in Virginia instead, which would make me happy. I don’t know why I care so much since really I haven’t seen all that much of the Virginia […]

I’m feeling a little red in the face now. I really try very, very hard not to expose you to my moments of neediness and self-loathing, but I guess I was just having a very bad night last night. I’m feeling much better about myself today, just extremely stupid for that last post. […]
