Meltdown commencing … wait, not yet, damn it, I’m not ready

Jan 19, 2010 10:53pm

Not done my paper – but what I have done is looking ok ,,, I think. The stress of the 22nd is building and spilling over into daily mini melt downs… crying headaches + stress headaches and I think changing weather patterns (and I got me some PMS) is making for...

a year already

Jan 14, 2010 4:56am

It’s my birthday which means that a week from now it’ll have been a year since my mom passed away. As if it’s been a year. Priorities have certainly changed as has definitions of “taking a break” – now it means, “maybe I’ll wash the dishes, to at least stand up...

I’ve got my idea trapping hat on tight – don’t touch it!

holy hell I can’t focus. I seem to max out at 9 minutes and then need to stop, think, assure myself of all the hard work I’ve done and then check the clock for affirmation…. yikes. I also remembered my ever-so-autistic-need-but-we-all-have-one-not-in-a-mocking-kinda-way to wear a toque while researching/writing papers … perhaps I...

wake up call

Jan 2, 2010 5:50pm

It was August when I moved to Taiwan and it was hot. Way hotter than I was used to and ergo gave up on makeup for a while as it was just melting off my face anyway. About 3 weeks in a friend was having a birthday party at a...

Christmas dinner, phew!

Dec 27, 2009 5:22pm

It was supposed to be for 20 but the number dropped dramatically down to 13. But the food! Oh my the food! Chestnuts, baked cabbage with apple, spiced nuts, ginger cookies, pork done in a brine, scalloped potatoes with bacon, cheese and spinach, mashed potatoes, roast beef with gravy, sliced...

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up

Dec 24, 2009 1:58am

I’ve been trying to be positive about living here (as in SK) and so have been trying to notice and appreciate things about living here that I wouldn’t have in, say, Canada. And you know what, sometimes I do smile and think that it’s great and convenient and relatively easy...

Shouldn’t you be doing something?

Dec 23, 2009 1:56am

Yes, I should be… we’ve got up to 20 people coming over for Christmas dinner… silly girl, whywhywhy did you think this was a good idea when you know that your husband can’t be around to help you? Well, it has helped to light a fire under both our butts...

Holidays

Dec 17, 2009 10:20pm

Tis the season of Christmas parties and talk of holidays. If you work at a university and aren’t teaching during your break, you could have up to 10 weeks of paid vacation coming to you. So naturally the talk at said parties is about up coming plans for the break. Now,...

Marriage and cultural differences

Dec 16, 2009 4:25am

I was recently at a Christmas party and met some new people and it came up that I am married to a Korean. We’ll skip most of that because it’s boring to me and I can only assume you as well. Rather, we’ll jump into the juicy bit that everyone...
