Man, that sucks about your commute. That’s a lot of time taken up when you can apply it to your dissertation.

I did an eggplant Parmesan.

I finally had my bone-marrow biopsy this week. I’m pissed that I wasted so much time worrying about it. I don’t know if I lucked out and got a really good interventional radiologist, but I didn’t feel a thing. It hurt more when the nurse stuck me in the wrist and couldn’t get the IV to thread than it did to have them…

Any eclipse watchers? Where did you go? Did you have clear skies?

UGH. Today was not great. For the past month i’ve been focused on my diet. Counting calories, logging them in, exercising. I’ve successfully lost 8 pounds and JUST got out of a 3 week plateau. I’ve felt awesome and in this past month i’ve been the most successful in losing weight for the first time, ever.

Oh, he is SO HANDSOME.

So, last week Big Foot took on the voice of a big ol’ truck driver with a serious cigarette habit and I should have known what was coming my way. I literally do not remember much about the early part of the week- by Wednesday I had coughed so hard and so much that my entire rib cage felt broken and my throat was just…

Here’s a cottage I found while out for a walk in a village that time forgot.

I have nothing earth shattering going on except that I’m moving on Friday so I’m in that midrange hell where everything that could be packed ahead of time is packed but I can’t pack anything else because I might need it in the next 6 days. But here are good things for today:

Vinnie is an adorable little meezer

Antiope Buttercup being purrrrrrrdy.

Oh hi.

Too many to name. I don’t know how many times I’ve wanted to PULL SOMEONE’S SPINE DIRECTLY OUT OF THEIR NOSE, and then I check my calendar, and, whoops, PMS (which, as a side note, my phone just autocorrected to “On my way!”). A friend asked me if I wanted to go see The Hitman’s Bodyguard, and all I wanted to do today…

Finally got out to my garden today. It’s been too hot on the east coast till today. Except my dumbass was overconfident and I got myself sunburned. Such a rookie error. Anyway, got some beautiful peppers and tomatoes. What’s everyone growing ?

I never post on SNS because I’m perma-grey but I’m feeling good and I want to share.

Anyone want to talk about Yolanda Hadid-Foster-Hadid (aka the Baroness von Munchausen)? Have you read the excerpts from her forthcoming book about her “journey” with de chronic Lyme?

So I just wrapped up on-campus interviews at my top-tier law school and I haven’t gotten a single offer. I didn’t even get more than one callback. I wasn’t all that thrilled about going the corporate/big-firm route, but since Tuesday I have been having low-grade anxiety attacks about whether I’m going to make enough…

*Baby pictures*

Hey homies, long time no talk.

Hey friends! I’m having a woe-is-me night where I’m feeling lonely and disconnected. I moved to a new town last year and still only have one friend other than my partner. Just saw a photo of a bunch of my friends from my previous city all at the beach together and now I’m feeling left out. Any words of advice for how…
