Lately

Lately, I feel like a transient on a stopover in my own life.  I sleep on the couch, I use my cell phone as an alarm clock, I’m driving someone else’s car, I keep my medication in my purse.  I feel like I could just pick up and sleep on any couch, anywhere; take out [...]

A Litany of Complaints

1) Never drive to work in a wet mushy snowstorm with a head cold that makes it feel like your sinuses are moments from exploding, your eyeballs all scratchy and dry and ready to pop right out of your head.  Especially never do this if you are not fully caffeinated, because you will almost drive [...]

Nice tits

I really wish someone would stare at my tits once in a while.  I mean, I know it’s totally unenlightened and unfeminist of me, but there’s nothing that empowers my (apparently slutty) self more than feeling sexually attractive.  Probably I’m helping bring womanhood back 50 years with this attitude, but dammit!  I love that feeling [...]

Too much coffee post

Candy and candy corn and chocolate and more candy and just general Frenzies of Sugar.
Yesterday I wore my fuzzy pink bathrobe and slippers at work, because I could call it a “costume” and get away with it. I could’ve take a [...]

Ad nauseum, ad infinitum

I was reading at lunch today, and came across this passage, and stopped reading – because this is me, this is how I feel.
 What stops her, what puts it all out of her mind, is what she sees when she looks at herself… here, now, only a few hours later, she doesn’t quite recognize herself.She [...]

Fattitude

Okay, so work is slightly better and I am absolutely done bitching about it for right now. Man, that’s got to be boring to have to read all those “I hate my job” posts. Please skip them.
So, today’s topic! For complaining! No, seriously. I’ve been reading more and more body [...]
