stank on my hangdown

it's been a long & somewhat stressful week here in balto. started out with the unexpected death of a good acquaintance. really sad news. we saw him just a few weeks ago, when we were out to dinner celebrating our anniversary. it's a reminder that life is fleeting & we're totally not in control no matter how hard we (i) try to be. is this the age where more & more people we know, in our age group, start to get sick & die? if so, i advise you not to leave your mid-twenties, if you can help it.

the remainder of the week was a mixture of mostly sleepless nights & lots of drama & nonsense at work. i was glad to see the work-related baloney come to a close today when the new folks received their work assignments. jeez. i know, my life is incredibly exciting... (seriously though, i was pretty excited about it - & a bit stressed.)

enjoyed a tasty meal this evening in celebration of the departure of a friend who's relocating to the west coast. i had hoped we would hang out while she was here but it didn't turn out that way at all. alas...

that about wraps it up for me, folks. sweet dreams to all (including me).

i know it's bizarre, but i feel kinda sad to finish physics... now that i've done the one thing i procrastinated for 10 years, i'm not sure what comes next...

i'm a miracle

i don't know where you were at 2:45 this morning, but i'll tell you where i was: at work. that's right. actually, i probably didn't get to work until closer to 3... i woke up at 2:45 in a state of panic when i realized i'd left a truck out of the garage with a bunch of unsecured extension ladders on it. what the hell!! i knew i wouldn't be able to go back to sleep if i didn't check it out. sometimes i'm real glad work is 2 minutes away. so i went to work in my jams, pulled the truck in to the garage (after i noticed everything was securely cable-locked to the ladder rack) & i went back home, to bed. couldn't get to sleep after that anyway...


when did i go insane?
