Some weeks are just slogs. So, in the last week or so.... Started off by finding I have diabetes; then got a huge doctor's bill; then was left harassing notes from a student (old DUI mug shot found online); then false rumors started (see last blog); then more harassment from students unknown (now we're setting up some detective shit); plus an inundation of meetings and...

Thank you! I like this effect myself too.
yevlax:
The working out will help. I can't fuckin' wait until I can excersize again. Sometimes a routine keeps us sane.

OK SG pals (esp the female pals), here's a weird one maybe you can give me some insight into.

As some of you know, I teach at a small high school. Well, last year we hired a new, young female teacher. She's kind of cute, a little awkward, seemed nice enough. When a buddy and I went out to lunch the first week back to...

I think it's the students....
thebeliever:
Yeah, he's gonna check on that (one of the students is his t.a.). God knows they've done that in the past. Still why would it even come up? Seems weird. I mentioned it to my principle in passing, and his response was something along the lines of, "I'd steer clear of that one." Yeah, no kidding.

Bad/batshit crazy: I spoke to a sleep specialist for about ten minutes last month, and scheduled another appointment where I'd actually sleep and they'd check me out, make recommendations, etc. Well, I got the bill, and for that ten minute talk I was billed almost 600 dollars. Out of pocket. Needless to say, I cancelled the follow-up. And this is a guy who is on...

cadavre:
sorry about the sleep appointment shit. It is udder shit....That's a lot of money for not even a consultation!

I took french and high school and remember...so very little...ugh. Hope you do better than me! And hope this hanging out with the ex goes well and you can become good friends
yevlax:
I took a sleep study once, was held in a hotel. I fell asleep even though I was covered in about a billion wires. Then later when I went to check the results the dr. didn't even read my file first. Jeesh.

Be careful with exes, man. Almost always bad ju-ju.

Finally feeling better, though I got bad news from the doc today-- Type 2 diabetes (which my dad died from, technically speaking; though he abused his body in any number of ways). It's a bummer, but it's also an incentive to take better care of myself, which basically means eating better, which I need to do anyways. Exercise hasn't been an issue, and I don't...

Kind of like the witch from Hansel and Gretel who lived in a candy house yet seemed to only eat children.



She was obviously on a low carb diet.

Ha, I love the responses. SG people is the coolest peepuhl.biggrin

Happy happy, people. In 2013, there are a lot of things I'd like to do, say and be. But for right now, I'd settle for GETTING RID OF THIS FUCKING COLD. Blarghhhhhh!puke

Oops! Sorry wink I've had to hide all the chocolate, cake, biscuits etc. I'm not much of a snacker or sweet tooth, but having them on the kitchen counter is too much for one girl to take! I'm starting training for a mile outdoor swim soon, think I'll need it! Bloods for continued illness or ? Hope it's nothing too serious smile

Maybe the real result of the Mayan Apocalypse was to affect everyone with disease. Seems everyone's got some disease troubling them at the moment.

Just stumbled onto the term "histrionic personality disorder." Wow. I know people like this, I just didn't know there was a name for it.

I really should study psychology a bit more.

Vacation has kicked off nicely: partying, record shopping, football. But I still haven't wrapped a single present. Tomorrow will do nicely, I think...smile

Too much booze and drugs this weekend, not enough LUV. Wait, I take that back-- all kinda friend-love, which is nice.

I wore the ugliest xmas sweater ever, and I'm not proud of it. Wait, I take that back, I'm KINDA proud of it.

I look forward to the holidays, and vacation, and whatever pleasures the future holds, both immediate and long term. And I...

That is true, I guess. I enjoyed the joke so it had that going for it.
aristophanes:
This proves what I always felt in my guts about teachers -- who are THEY to try to tell us not to use drugs, or to teach 'decision making' sex ed? Fuckers probably do this all the time at home.

Feeling like a bear in his cave, seeing the onset of Winter. I look out, and there's rain, and not much else. It's kind of beautiful and kind of lonely.

Some winters are longer than others...
arien:
biggrin I love when I get random ideas and then decide they are more important than sleep even though I've been sick all week and am working all day tomorrow... Maybe not the best plan, but fun outcome!
aristophanes:
Pft, everything I do winds up looking like Edward Gorey. For that edition of Fanny Hill I did, I tried to draw like Wesley Morse ( http://www.wesleymorse.com/tijuana-bibles.html ) and it came out like Edward Gorey.

Well for the first time in a long time, I can actually say it's been a looong week (going back to last week), and that teenagers can go f**k themselves-- at least until next week, then it's all good again, more or less. Now for five days of vacation, food, friends, wine, books and, apparently, lots of rain. Oh--- and some Xmas shopping. (But first:...

I seem to be in one those phases when I don't see people as much. Perfectly content to go to a cafe with a book of Lovecraft under my arm, rather than scuffling together plans, or going by myself to a bar or something. Of course, this is more of a phase; the social side comes out eventually. It can get tiring trying to make...

It was all such a blur, thank goodness for everyone that was there filling me in, and of course the photos

Be glad you missed it, it was depressing as hell!

Mellow weekend spent hiking, watching sports, and drinking some wine. Movie: The Sleeping Beauty (quite odd, but good). My teams won, and soon I'll make some spaghetti and meatballs.

You know, I'm gonna make a terrific old person, I've decided. I'll probably own multiple cats and occasionally wear a hat. My library, by that time, will be outstanding.

Mmmmm.... old books.smile

Hahaha thank you.

Is it possible to die from eating too much pasta and garlic? [Curls into fetal position and waits to see.]

I sense horrible smelling farts in your near future.

it is as possible as a watermelon growing in your tummy from eating a seed
