It's been a long week and I have holes in my teeth to prove it


  1. We've been sleeping in our guest room these past few weeks because it's fun and sometimes we make the bed and sometimes we don't.
  2. I am wearing a shirt that reminds me of Star Trek. I'm not quite sure why, maybe I add a picture of it later and you can tell me if you agree.
  3. I had the most out of sorts of days yesterday. One of them sorts where I felt I must crawl out of my skin or die. Some of it may have to do with the fact that the temperature dropped to below 60 degrees. Some other parts of it may have to do with the fact that I haven't been writing this past week, or exercising. Also, work has been the opposite of uplifting.
  4. Absolutely necessary self-medication (especially for the colder months) is moisturizing, exercising, writing, and maybe painting.
  5. When I think about my dream house/apartment, it is pretty simple: a one-level, with high ceilings, big windows that let in natural light, and an open floor plan. Recently, I've added an indoor heated pool to this dream place.
  6. I'm thinking about how to make the perfect chocolate chip cookie, whether it's worth trying to bake pumpkin butterscotch cookies, and what to pack for our camping trip this weekend.
  7. The dentist says I grind my teeth! Stress, she says. Whatever it is, it's causing holes in my molars, and I don't like it one bit. After she pointed this out, I've been noticing that I am tense in my jaw. So I've been doing this thing at work where I let my head fall back and mouth hang open for a few seconds to 'de-stress' my face. C'mon face.
  8. "The Dinner Party" by Joshua Farris, is a short story that prompts discussion and thought about the prickly and complicated nature of relationships. I am in love with how stories can do this.
  9. I would like to find a giant black picture frame that is about 7 feet by 3 or 4 feet. Does anyone know where I could find one?
  10. One of the things we are doing this weekend is going up to a mountain to pluck some apples off of trees, and believe you me, I am excited. I am excited about how crunchy delicious they are when they come off the tree, and I am happy that we are going to be camping afterwards. First camping trip for Rusty!
