are we there yet??

i was reflecting on life a bit on my walk home from work today. my days have been unusually boring lately & it's left me feeling kinda crummy. my own skin is feeling increasingly uncomfortable. a confidence thing, i think. i have no patience. i'm tired of winter. where is spring? i'm tired of feeling tired & hungry all the time. i need more sunshine.

my passport probably expired, because i was lazy. i think about it every day after work - "oh, i should renew that..." & yet i do nothing. EVERY DAY! why do i do this? same thing happened with the class i wanted to take this semester (just for fun). i made the decision over new years but didn't go to sign up until last wednesday, only to realize the class was already full. of course it was!

also, i don't want to walk to work with M & i wish she would stop asking & calling our apartment in the morning. i enjoy being lost in my own thoughts on the walk. it's funny - i think of myself more as a morning person that an evening person, but only after i have a significant amount of time to myself to 'begin' the day.

wow... i need to go to the gym.

will i even dig out my passport??

the exciting life & times of J.L.A.

last week at work, one of the newbies was looking for some drywall mud. i escorted her to the appropriate area & suggested she open the bucket & make sure it wasn't all dried out since it was leftover from a job 6 months ago. i then went about my business elsewhere, noticing from afar that it sure was taking her a long time to choose a bucket of mud. a short time later, she came & told me she'd driven into the garage door & it was broken... yikes! (this door is my nemesis. you may remember from an insomnia inspired post from Oct '07.) the following day, she told me the first bucket she opened was full of poop... old, smelly human poop.

also last week, dan woke me up in the middle of the night whine-yelling, "do we have a cat?!?!" it freaked me out & i thought a cat had somehow gotten into our apartment & our bedroom. then i went back to sleep.

the end.

it was me

sorry...

highs & lows

my day's been a bit bizarre, mostly due to an exchange i had w/ my boss. i rarely see the guy - our offices are on different floors & we don't work together or anything... anyway, he consulted my advice on plunging one of the toilets & was really embarrassed about it. the fact that he asked me for help even though he really didn't want me to see his toilet-clogging poop was kind of endearing in a way. he was completely human for that few minutes. everybody poops.

the shoulder seems to be getting better. i may be done in a few more weeks, which would be great!!

thinking of signing up for voice lessons this semester... i feel kinda excited about it.

i close w/ a few final pics from 2008.

i've been waiting & waiting for my final physics grade thinking they surely still send them in the mail, right? cuz that's the only way your folks know if you're flunking out. not that my folks care about my physics grade, but i do, dammit!! i wised up today & found 'em on the internets. i think this is the first time i've ever sported a 4.0.

i just went back to work after a 5-day break. thought i'd have plenty of time to do a nice long end-o the year blog post but somehow that didn't happen. i got all caught up in baking & goofing around & reading books about real estate. good times...

my first roasted veggie recipe was a dud. it was so beautiful! ...until it slid off the baking sheet into the bottom of the oven (i FREAKED OUT). we rescued it & reassembled everything as best we could. in the end, it got a little over done & dry. alas. it sure was pretty though.

not much else to say.
