yankee life

presentation was a b+. love the feelings of relief/satisfaction/accomplishment that follow. a trip back into town included fun banter and indiscretions.

work can be fun

woke up feeling much better. it was nice to be on a plane and in a hotel preparing for a gig again. hope to explore boston.

unbridled nausea

so sick. vomited 4x. 2x at brunch. photos suggest considerable inappropriate conduct.

jareds nice skin

low key walkabout with xtie was nice. party was ridiculous, but jared really does have nice skin. wow, so this is what it was like having friends.

immediate + extended family

first good nights sleep in three. nice to wake up away from a city. mom was kinda tense but dinner with the godsons was lots of fun, per usual.

seattles funny

woke up in the very cool ace hotel, dropped off the suit and walked up the hill to get the hair clipped. beautiful morning. ran into curious viet guy at pho cyclo, read the paper at vivace made my way over to see mommy in green kitsap. seattles funny.

back to seatown

got a cold and very little sleep, tho it was nice being on a plane again. the low cloud cover didnt make for a scenic landing but ive always enjoyed flying over seattle.

sicko

sick! not horrible, but no energy to finish necessary tasks.

no i aint sick

woke up with a sore throat today. yikes. im directing all efforts at nipping this in the bud asap.

shop wit sis

weekends are nice as my baby duties typically subside since pops is home. sissy and i went shopping on the magnificent mile which was a hoot. she helped rationalize an exhorbitant purchase.

cant remember

hmmm i really am leaving soon. good gawd.

bad baby

baby is being bratty tho i should be enjoying these last coupla days with her! felt a little irritable much of the day.

shop it off

bro in law told a mean story which wasnt appreciated. ventured into the city and bought a ridiculously priced blazer. haha. all in all im maintainin.

free and clear

i like days when im free from baby obligations.

happy but forget why

im happy about something today. i cant recall what.

no complaints.

no complaints. beautiful day. getting back into shape. party planning is fun.

more sun and shopping

another gorgeous day. sissy and me went shopping in bucktown/wicker park which was fun. bought some nice items and got her a bday dress.

oh sunny day

theres something about getting out of the abode and out into the world. balmy temps dont hurt neither.

im a wanderer

spent a glorious afternoon wandering back through bucktown/wicker park. it was sunny, warm and i love a random extended walkabout.

ho hum

ho hum working on my korean website.

ample time away

exercise and many hours away exploring/shopping in bucktown/wicker park made for a nice break.

paralyzed by shit

spent the first half of today paralyzed by shittyness. stood in the cold basement for an hour unable to figure out what would make me less miserable. here or somewhere else. chose the latter, change of environs, mood improved. whoa.

happy is easy

woke up early. productive. exercised. ate well. felt good. theres a pattern here.

moving tummy

i felt my stomach move today. exercise calls. exploring cheap ways to humidify the home thanks to skin and throat dryness.

so soon

its really starting to kick in how soon ill be leaving. baby was all mine today. i can handle single parenthood. haha.

green = good enough?

feeling good today. perhaps not green good but good enough.

time to go!

one years since retirement! its really time to go!

old house cough: part deux

productive day. my itchy throat, a precursor to the 'old house cough' returns.

cuddle buddy realized?

im very reluctant to show affection to him and eager for excuses to not get attached. didnt i just say i wanted a cuddle buddy for my last few weeks?

bored of blah

feelin fine now but caught myself being crabby on a number of occasions today. me thinks the 'terrible twos' are setting in and today was awfully unproductive. so bored of being blah.

cleanin + calamity

made first headway in organizing my shiz for the big move. a freak sleet/wind storm made for my favorite treacherous conditions. why do i love calamity?
