I vanished. Sorry. No good excuse. I wasn’t too busy — most people who talk about being sooooooo busy are full of it. I just didn’t know what to write. Truthfully, I had a great vacation. My office closed down for a nice, long break, and I got to enjoy about 10 days with my […]
I update yesterday’s post to reflect what I’ve actually gotten done this weekend. Some of it was saved for today, since I’ve been battling a migraine all weekend. Blergh. I finally took an Imitrex today, so the head pain is gone, but I’ve been lethargic and jut generally icky feeling all day. Still, I have […]
Shit sucks right now. I feel like I’m trapped inside a stress avalanche with no end in sight. Every time things start looking up, something happens that keeps the rocks crashing down on me. I leave today, after work, to fly to St. Louis for my mom’s surgery. ‘Cause that’s the way the medical world […]
I have officially started burning enough extra calories through running that I’m constantly hungry. Clearly I need to pack more filling lunches and/or healthy snacks. In the meantime, however, I’m binging on Halloween candy one of my evil, thoughtless employees brought in and KEEPS REFILLING. I came home in a terrible mood yesterday. I slept […]

Also, that would be because I don’t want to talk to bill collectors. Thanks. I had all these fun post ideas about how I am cheaply decorating our apartment, […]
Bad news: I got a red light ticket mailed to my home. Damn you, WeHo and your sneaky cameras. It’s not cheap either (almost $500), so we have to save up for it. I have six weeks to pay for it. Blah. Good news: My husband and I didn’t let that piece of mail bring […]
I was drained last night. It was a long day at the office. I had a minor work stress, but the main anxiety was a combination of concern for my mother and depression over my social problems. I came home — after a long, long bus ride home — and just collapsed. I cried, I […]
This is the city. Los Angeles, California. I work here. My name’s Urbanite. (OK, that’s not really my name or what I look like, but I’ve decided to keep my identity semi-anonymous so I can be totally honest here.) It’s 1:02 p.m. I’m at the office, as are the rest of the 9-to-5ers in the […]
