So I’m feeling a little better, but thought it best to stay home. Feeling faint and nauseous at work is not good. Since my comments are not showing up, but I can see them at haloscan, I wanted to thank everyone for their well wishes. And delegar, especially thanks to you for the advice. I’m…

I came home from work sick today. I have no idea what’s wrong. I think it has something to do with the interaction between birth control and synthroid and perhaps also lack of sleep (though I don’t consider 7 hours a lack). I hate, hate these vague symptoms. I feel tired, nauseous and faint. Oh,…

In today’s Inquirer is the oddest editorial I can imagine. The author, David Saxe, a professor of education at Penn State, argues that this resolution is a good thing, mainly because he takes the whole idea of academic freedom as it is expressed in the resolution at face value. He believes that the resolution promotes…

Much, much better. As you all suggested, I skipped the difficult part and trudged ahead. Got 4 pages, most of which were new, some taken from bits and pieces I’d written earlier. I stayed up way too late, though, so I’m not writing this morning, the head is foggy. I will write again tonight though.…

After reading this, I sent a letter to my rep, whom I’ve met, and who is a Democrat. Where are the reasonable people? Bitch, Ph.D., as usual, has good stuff too. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

When you drop your daughter off at camp and she bursts into tears. Sigh. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

I really have to change that number over there. Though it’s not entirely impossible to get to 500, it’s seeming unlikely. I’m going to leave it though and see where I get. I’ve now set aside time in the evening to write. Now that work is less stressful, I’m able to get my head around…

Please don’t make fun, but I am officially obsessed with Rufus Wainwright. While listening to him, I ran into a post at Oliver’s asking for music recommendations. Now, usually it’s me asking for the recommendations, but no, here I am evangelizing about Rufus. I now own all of his albums and really want to go…

All day yesterday, I couldn’t help thinking what a great life I have. Unfortunately, I often lose sight of that when caught up in the daily trials and tribulations. I have a home that I enjoy in a nice neighborhood where the kids can play in the street. I have a job that I like…

I’m sitting in my new office! See? We still have to spackle and paint. And I have some adjustments to make since the room is kind of slanty. I haven’t moved everything in yet, but it’s a very nice space. I might turn my desk so it faces the windows, which would leave me a…
