Hiccups!
Part of me wants to pack a bag and travel cross-country to the desert. I want to bask in the sun.
I realize that this escapism happens, when it happens and why it happens. It’s always the same thing - going back to the same, most carefree time in my life.
Now, it’s also wishing I could be that person again. I’ve lost that person somewhere along the line. More recently, than...
cat nip.
Being unemployed, I have found myself busier than I have been in a while. A surprise to me, as I was expecting this time to be fairly self-absorbed, lazy and full of pity. Alas!! It’s actually wonderful. I wake up early as shit, get on the road and am at my parents with a baby in my arms by 8:OO. I don’t get home until nightfall and if I’m lucky, I can grab a nap.

I was a mess today. Sick. Upset. :(
Better now, though. Still sick but a least I’m happy.
So sleepy. I heart mixed berry nyquil. I hope I feel better soon.
But I close my eyes for a while and force from the world a patient smile.
Three pieces of advice I'm about to give other...
coketalk:
1. You can’t be crippled by an emotion unless you’re the one doing it to yourself.
2. Just because your issues have a name it doesn’t mean you’re aware of them.
3. Assholes are gonna violate the social contract. You can come to expect it. You can even be prepared for it, but don’t ever get used to it.

Me: Well, if we get a duck...
Zach: -sigh- Babe, ducks shit EVERYWHERE.
Me: Then we can get a duck diaper.
Zach: A diaper? Could you imagine changing that and looking like a complete asshole?
Me: It would work.
Zach: Trying to lay it on its back and hold its little feet up... It would be squawking and you'd look like an ass.
Me: Fine. We can litter train it.
Zach: You think the solution for every animal is to stick it in a box of litter?
Me: It works!
Zach: Not with the rabbit.
Me: But he tried.
Zach: ...But he got about 1/4th of it in his box and the rest went everywhere else.
Me: But at least he TRIED. See? He made an attempt. You trained him.
Zach: -sigh-
Monday, Monday.
Fixed the internet. Now? Time to screw up enough courage to get warmly dressed, go outside and shovel my car off.

+I made awesome pork & salsa tacos for dinner. +/-I left the house once today… to take the trash out. +I did ALL of the laundry this afternoon. +I mastered the art of cooking eggs this weekend. -Our internet’s out. -I still have yet to clean the bathroom.
Snow.
…I was totally on board for it until I made plans to go over to my parents and have breakfast this morning.
Now? No breakfast with my family because the weather is being wintry.
Fuck you, wintry weather.
Dear Seth,
Right now you are the most innocent and pure creature in this world. I hope you continue to stay that way for a long, long time.
To you, life is simple. You eat. You poop. You sleep. You get snuggles and love. Sadly, you will not remember these days.
Someday, you will grow up. You will learn how to express yourself and you will like things as well as dislike things.

I Gave You All...
But you ripped it from my hands and you swore it’s all gone. And you ripped out all I had just to say that you’d won.
…but you haven’t.
Festivus, Cookies & Cryogenics?
Me: That is a huge box. Can I shake it?
Zach: No, you cannot shake it.
Me: Will it break?
Zach: Maybe.
Me: Did you get me a ceramic bust of Richard Nixon?
Zach: Dammit.
Me: ...Did you get me an animatronic bust of Richard Nixon? Oh! Please say you got me one of those.
Zach: (robot voice) You won't have Richard Nixon to kick around anymore... I am not a crook. I am not a... I am not a... crooooook.
