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?

doldrums interrupted

perhaps im being too generous but a nice balance of outdoor time, work and a fun date tipped the scales.

its oprah time

early to rise, a difficult am run, and shipshape appearance to actively influence mood. results: yuck is surprisingly resilient.

definitely on the mend

despite my best efforts to remain blue, the mood improved today thanks to crisp sunshine and a nostalgic morning at wifi enabled argo tea.

baby improves mood

back in chi. my dwindling 'bests' list had me down but baby and sissy had me on the mend by days end. looking fwd to an early rise and productive weds.

bajeezus!

an unnecessarily icky IM reunion makes me wonder whats with all of my friend issues these days? whos/whats changed?

friends change

trying on several scenarios to make sense of why our once effortless dynamic has changed so much. me thinks im just tired of trying.

hotlanta

whoops. forgot i was going to atlanta today but shifted and made it a-ok. nice to see an old friend as well as to be reminded of how drunk white people dance.

ready to run

entered holding pattern until korea while subverting unsubstantiated childcare resentment. chinese pop still makes me happy.

residual guilt

still sad for mutilating chile tho now were bonded by tragedy so the smoothie run is more fun. promising work contracts and booked good free asia tiks to and fro.

nurse maids elbow

not so awesome. hurt babys elbow while lifting her over babygate. went to doctor. lots of crying. im a bad uncle. :( ps: im not in love.

stop carping bout the cold

today was fun. glad to be home despite zero degree temps and feeling productive. snow is purty.

80 degree temp swings

maintaining. its good to be back.

home sweet u know

exhausting trip back tho baby was a gem. clt aint a half bad airport and sissy and i were oh so ready to get on back to chitown.

unworthy bastard

in paradise yet im feeling kinda blah and the inlaws are making me tense.

envying mylittledeaddick

i hate pop-id popid and i want something new please help me. hyper and anxious.

i heart fishing

so nice to go fishing out on the reef in balmy temps and cruising on bumpy caribbean seas.

im bougie/bratty

personal ickiness does not abate and is exacerbated by growing numbers of inlaws.

high temps tension

the inlaws begin trickling in. im inexplicably tense despite what should feel like paradise.

on vacance

reunited with my sis and baby feels nice. the warm caribbean temps and lounging by the pool dont hurt neither.

temperature swinger

2 pleasant flights take me from 0 to 80 in under 5 hrs.

cya

despite best intentions and heretofore curiosity, playing host aint easy.

dolphins training humans

absurdly cold temps make my thighs burn prior to watching an underwhelming dolphin show with bean town guest.

month 2

enjoying my week yet missing baby.
