What is it about not being at work in the middle of the day that makes it feel like you're breaking the rules? I'm downtown for lunch, and technically, I've been let out of work for the day, but I have coworkers who are still there trucking away. Honestly, there wasn't enough work to justify all of us staying, but it still
Hear me out, it was never this hot when I was a kid. Back in the 90s my cousins and I would be outside every day during the summer, excepting the two hours we took for a lunch break and to watch Toonami (so many fond memories of Sailor Moon, DragonBallZ, Tenchi Universe and Gundam Wing). After using the blessed AC for those two hours, we had no problem going
Arguably, the type of love that hurts the most is the love that is not returned. I’ve always thought the preteen and early teen years were the most frequent times for this depressing type of love to occur. Those times when we go to the movies, and there on the screen, in all their majesty, is the love of our lives that we know we would be the perfect
I’m in mourning for my Granddad who passed away on Sunday with the funeral on Saturday, so I’m literally at the halfway point. Apparently, this is how I cope. I drink wine, I’m by myself, I watch what I want, I eat what I want, I get emotional when I want. Is it because now I have permission? Everyone understands why I’m sad, but am I
February is literally a day away, so I thought that it would be fun to post a little about love in the coming days. I don't necessarily mean that blanket definition of love between sweethearts, but the different forms of love attached to that multi-faceted, yet oh so tiny word. Other cultures around the world have different words for different types of love, but in English, love just
Sonder - a realization that every single person around you has a life as complex and varied as your own. That's my own definition of one of my favorite words. I don't even know if it is considered an "official" or sanctioned word, considering that it cannot be found in the acclaimed dictionary by Merriam-Webster, or even on Dictionary.com. Yet, the word is
Do you ever have days during the week that are just bipolar from one day to the next? That exact thing happened to me on Thursday and Friday. I had already woken up Thursday morning upset from something from the night before, and the intermittent sleep that I’d had that night was anything but restful even though I guess I did slip into unconsciousness for the briefest of times
Another beautiful day here on the ISS (International Space Station, for those not in the know). I woke up still strapped into my snuggly space sleeping bag, and with only a few fly-aways coming out of my tightly braided hair. It makes for less tangles when I brush it out after my zero-gravity space shower. A breakfast of powdered eggs followed by powdered chocolate ice cream, because, hey, there’s
