I’m well aware that walking actually utilizes different muscles than running, but it merits mentioning: my legs hurt.
It’s all been for a good cause, though, that of finding my first apartment in five years. However, the fact that walking, and not running, gives me a parody of shin splints makes my mouth twist into [...]
Well, here I am, sitting in the terminal, bound for my new city. My boyfriend will pick me up, we’ll grab my checked-in bags with a combined weight of 85 pounds, and off we’ll go to watch me stress out a bit more. Whaddya mean, I need to find an apartment? Whaddya [...]
I am so tired. But I am so excited. I cannot begin to describe how much I’m looking forward to being on my own, beginning a wonderful career, and learning the ins and outs of a new city. It’s also a wonderful chance to make new friends and colleagues. It’s also, [...]
Part of me is moaning and groaning that it’s only Wednesday. Another part of me is going, “Holy crap! It’s Wednesday! I start my new job in a week! What am I going to do?” There’s not much I can do but shut up and get working, so that’s what [...]

I woke up at 5am and could not get back to sleep.
Arrrgggghhhh.
