i’m sorry

Posted in general on February 25, 2009 | 2 Comments »

To the spider I sent out the death sentence on:
I’m sorry.
I was sitting in the exam chair at the optometrist’s, reading my book while waiting for the doctor, when I saw you out of the corner of my eye. I watched you scurry over to the stool then turn to me and run under my [...]

Yesterday was my first day of being officially off the job. Because it was my own doing, I left with no parting gifts other than unused vacation pay. So what did I do on day one? A facial mask and a lunch date, of course.

I just got an order from Vegan Essentials (had another 10%-off newsletter so I stocked up on dry cat food and tried some new things, including soy curls, so stay tuned) and thought I’d share Merry Hempsters with y’all.

So today is Saturday (Sunday, probably, by the time I post this) and I don’t know if I’m going to work on Monday. I’ve almost quit a handful of times—like walk-out-with-zero-notice quit—in the past two weeks. So tonight it’s booze smoothie night.
