Style vs. Substance

This week I have had, dear readers, what you might call a relationship epiphany.  An aha! moment.  The lightbulb going on.  It’s both awesome and sort of troubling.  Here goes.
Between conversations with my therapist, N.  and with my informal, pro bono relationship advisers T. and M., I have given a lot of thought this week to [...]

Onward and Upward

Dear readers, I wrote the following post on the plane on my way back from Oregon last night.  I was debating whether or not to publish it because I just don’t feel the level of angst that this post conveys anymore, but I figure since I took all the time to pour out my thoughts [...]

Protected: Life is Strange

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Wishin’ and Hopin’

Warning, dear readers: I’m in a funk tonight, so this is bound to be a major Debbie Downer post. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
I was hoping that I could get some much needed R & R this weekend, and instead I’m incredibly burnt out, exhausted, and on-edge in that way that only “that [...]

Undefeated

I’m exhausted and if there is anything I should be doing on the computer tonight, it’s finishing these oppositions to motions in limine. But I have a lot to write about, and if I don’t write about it tonight there will just be more to write about tomorrow, so…here goes. (Work, shmirk.)
First things [...]

Put a fork in me…

…’cause I’m done.
I’ve said it before, but this time I mean it. Today marks the last day that I spend obsessing over C. So I’m going to get it out of my system.
(Note: I swear there is WAY more going on in my life than this (hello, first trial!!), and I will [...]

Foiled!

I was beginning to get pretty excited about my upcoming weekend on the Oregon coast with C. We’d talked about what we wanted to cook (salmon) drink (he said he had a good Pinot Grigio) and watch (he spent a good amount of time trying to convince me of the merits of Must Love [...]

And tomorrow say goodbye

Ways I know I’m getting old: my workload is lighter this week and I comment to my friend T. that tonight, I just can’t wait to get home and get in my PJs. She says back, “Me too! Wow, we’re so cool. We live in the heart of WeHo and we get [...]

Single / Drunk

Considering that my birthday night was mellow and I wasn’t really in a drinking mood that night, and that I was exhausted yesterday from lack of sleep, I certainly didn’t expect to go out last night and have a raging night. But, these things always happen when you least expect it.
I met up with [...]

An overwhelming feeling of “meh.”

These days I just can’t seem to get happy. Not in a consistent way, anyway. There are fleeting moments, of course, but most of the time I seem to be stuck somewhere on the spectrum between “not unhappy” and melancholy.
It’s a vicious cycle, and I feel stuck in it. I [...]
