Who’d have thought that the 1981 Ryan O’Neal romp “So Fine” would be so prescient?

Hi Spring, I fell asleep straight after posting that. I have bronchitis and a cold at the moment, tried staying up but my head was killing. Be there next Saturday:) x

Loaner kitties <3

I’m drunk. I had a party. I got up early to finish cleaning and doing stuff. My house is cleaner than when I started because my friends are awesome. I’m so happy drunk. I’ll stop now.

Hey I’m doing cardiac rehab too! At 45, I’m the youngest person there by 20 years probably. Benefits(?) of having a congenital heart defect. It’s amazing to be able to exercise! Last week I even tried the elliptical again and didn’t die.

It’s a girl it’s a girl it’s a girl I’m having a baby girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

Going back to school is one of my recurrent nightmares.

Should have had me for a teacher. You would have had a blast *and* learned something useful.

Something on my mind recently is that I’ve never understood people who look back to school as the place they’d rather be or want to go back to.

I started cardiac rehab this past Wednesday! I go 3x/week for twelve weeks, so it’s going to be some time before I get back to work. The therapist who’s been assisting me told me that last year, he had a patient, my age, who had the same thing as me, viral cardio myopathy, hers caused by a common cold. And her heart…

I had a baby! His name is Edward Douglas and he was born the day after Valentine’s Day. He’s pretty much the love of my life even though I’m breastfeeding like 8 hours a day and I’m stupid tired. I was really scared about post-partum depression because I am higher risk for it (my mom had it, I have had prior bouts of…

Awwwww, yeaaaaahhhhh. It’s time for the WEEKLY ACHIEVEMENT THREAD!!! Give us the details on what you’ve accomplished this week so we can crow along with you!

Happy Saturday everyone! Last time I posted was about a massive (nearly relationship ending) fight with my long term boyfriend and before that, a few posts about the headaches involved with coordinating an across-the-world move with said partner and very floofy pussy cat.

I got picked for jury duty! So that was the annoying start to this stupid week. I’m so mad, how can a stupid civil case last up to three weeks? That’s ridiculous. And, today we found out the state considered one of our savings account as inactive, so it was closed. We can get the money back, and we’re hoping the bank…

Shelter Cat Update!

Hey Jezzies! I have an auntie win to share! (I’m the one raising my nephew).

My nephew was picked as student of the month in his class for how much he’s improved in reading! He’s in first grade. He came to me in August barely reading more than his name and simple things like “cat”*, so it’s been one of our big…

Yay, SNS! (Please ungrey me!)

After enduring another painful week of my miserable job, and not getting the promotion I was pretty sure I was going to get, and realizing that my office was not going to get its shit together any time soon, I finally quit. My boss was pretty sad and kept asking, “What can we do to make you stay??” and I wanted really…

I GOT THE JOB. I GOT THE JOB. I GOT THE JOB!!!!! We just have to make it through March and we will be OK. I am about a week out from being able to reclaim unemployment but I am not sure how that will work. I am assuming I won’t qualify but I am going to try. I did a modest means application but you have to be working…

Hi where is SNS? Please don’t start putting it later it doesn’t help us join in in the U.K.
