People who don’t pay attention when they drive suck. They just do. When I go to teach my night classes during the week I drive down a street that has an island between the east- and west-bound lanes. Thus to turn left at this intersection, I have to go through two lights the one on the E/W street, and another [...]

I finally heard from Adeline today thru email. I miss her so much. It’s the little everyday things, like a conversation, or a dumb thing I did, or something I noticed, or something he said, that I miss telling her, and hashing out with her, hearing her opinion. I can’t even hardly find time to write in this damn thing, [...]

OK, so it’s 77 degrees outside, but I can just smell the winter coming, and I am NOT happy about it. I HATE being cold. hatehatehate it. Wore a sweater today that Tony got me, and it’s fuzzy and soft and warm, but I don’t want to have to wear it. For the first time in forever, I put an [...]

Imagine: Being able to pay for an apartment. By myself. Buying groceries. By myself. Having insurance. Maybe Tony is lucky for me after all, though this whole thing [...]

TIMEDAWN OF A NEW ERA ColleenGainsWillpower I am smoking this last pack like it was any other day. I will miss smoking, but not as much as I thought I would. I think. I don’t know. I just have to apply my stubborn will and accept that I never really thought of myself as a “smoker”, so this whole quitting [...]

It’s raining again. Damn. I get to see the whole glorious sight out of my office window, but I wonder if it will make me late to my lesson tonight. I always don’t want to go to these lessons. They end up being OK, but before they start I feel this sense of dread, and after they start, the time [...]
