The State of Things

The Bad
  1. In the past 2 days at least 3 of my friends have been colossally screwed over. I do not take kindly to that.
  2. I have been made aware of things that I can't understand. These are things that make zero sense and actually hurt the people they are supposed to be protecting.
  3. I officially hate selling on craigslist. Apparently, living on the North side AND having a 8-6 work day makes pick up impossible.
  4. Unprepared students: Really getting to me today. This is college. Of course you need your student ID number to do business. 
  5. My head still is killing me. I need some rest. Soon.
The Good

  1. I had taken June 4 and 5 off. First to burn some hours of vacation time (because I will be maxing out soon...if I am not already). And because those days are the 2 year anniversary of the massive stroke and the tornado (aka the 2 days that changed my life pretty much forever). Tuesday I received an meeting invite for  our annual Assessment Coordinator's meeting. This will be a huge meeting: One I cannot miss. that date: June 5. After a little feeling sorry for myself, I sucked it up and e-mailed my boss. I let her know I would not be taking that day off and that I would be at the meeting. The trade off: Now I have Monday, Wednesday and Thursday off. Aside from the meeting the only day I will be working is Saturday that week.
  2. Moving Day is in 8 days. 
  3. I may possibly have May 26 off. That means I will have a 4 day weekend, followed by a 4 day work week, followed by 2 days off, a meeting day, 3 days off and one day of work. I am just waiting on the official word. I so need this time off. Lets keep hoping for a closure.
  4. The freezer: Is still hanging in there.
  5. I found my Keynote Summer Project Roommate from South Africa on Facebook. I was always sad we lost touch (she is pretty awesome), and it is great to be back in contact!
  6. I was annoyed with the lawyers this morning. I was confused by the update from my sister.  Out of curiosity, I shot them an e-mail just asking for an update. They got back to me, and while I am still disappointed that they are taking so long to get things moving, I do see they have been true to their word. Quarterly reports are ready and hopefully within the next few weeks Nigel will be ready to start moving this forward. Yes, I do wish they had stuck to better timeline. I just want this to be over with.

The Bottom Line

Writing Prompts: 1.)  Six Word Memoir : Write about a significant time in your life in just six words. 2.) “One need not be a chamber to be haunted, One need not be a house. The brain has corridors surpassing material place”. -Emily Dickinson What haunts you? 3.) Describe a talent or flaw that seems to be in your genes. 4.) What are you passionate about? 5.) Comfort food at its finest. Share a family favorite recipe you loved as a child. Lets go with #4  Shall We? It has been an interesting ride over the past almost 32 years: I was a cute baby: I was an adorable toddler: I was a child with a bad perm: Police Radios were just a part of Christmas morning and family dinners : I had the "coolest car" I may have vandalized a friend's car with evidence tags and rubber gloves found in aforementioned cool car: I went to college: Moved Away and Made New Friends: I traveled: I even toured with a band: Bottom Line: No matter where I have gone, what...

Challenging Your Writing

Blogging is easy for me. In an attempt to start shaking up my writing, I decided to start doing a writing workshop and trying some new writing prompts. Trying to get my blog back up in shape has been harder than I thought it would be. I am feeling like writing again, but I need variety. It has been fun trying new topics. Still, I was always picking the safe ones. This week, the list came to my inbox and the one I was instantly drawn to was of course the easy one. However, there was another prompt that was nagging at me. "What I lack" Here is the deal: I don't want to always write about negative stuff. This would be a negative blog. That wasn't the worst of it. I knew it was a topic I would have a hard time putting into words. I don't want to be misunderstood, but I am just  not sure how to put some of these feelings in words I kept trying to convince myself it wasn't a good idea. I just couldn't shake it. I wrote the blog. It is far from the best thi...

What Does One Wear??

Image
On May 21, I am attending Methodist Theological Seminary of Ohio's Commencement. My mother was a student there, and she would have graduated this May. The college has decided to award her a posthumous degree. This is very kind, and we are honored they have decided to do this. Today I was trying to  figure out my plan for that day, when it occurred to me: What does one wear to accept a degree for their mother (who died nearly a year ago)? Well black doesn't seem fitting (and there goes half my wardrobe) It cannot be too short It cannot be to low cut (there goes most of the rest of my wardrobe). So what are my options? Very obviously this is not going to work: Maybe something like this, but not in Black? This had potential...until I noticed those were skulls not polka dots This has potential Then I was distracted by this (but....it is on sale!!) Okay...more like this? I just don't know...any suggestions?
