I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, but I’ve finally done it. I’m pulling the plug. At least, I’m pulling the plug here. I gave it a shot. I like the community, but people are fading and I’...

Tomorrow is going to be an important day. Important to me, anyway. How important to you? We’ll see. I’m guessing it’s not a very big deal. I started watching The Walking Dead tonight, after a Gil...

Pumpkin show! The traffic was terrible getting there, the parking sucked, the weather sucked, the kiddo slept through most of it, but the food was delicious. Started off with pumpkin chili, as us...
october 17
My exam is coming up, in a little under two weeks. I wish I were more prepared for it, but I’ll be happy for it just to be over. Then I can focus on the important things. I’m not sure right now w...
october 16
This weekend is the pumpkin show. It’s my favorite time of the year. I eat WAY too much, spend too much money, and it’s usually cold and dreary. Still, it’s the most wonderful day of the year for...
october 15
I know that tutoring makes my life difficult, but man…when the kids you tutor rock a quiz or a test because you helped them understand something, that feels really great. Totally makes it worthwh...
october 14
I’ve been meaning to get caught up, and once I do, I’ll fill you in on something. And, most likely, no one will hear it, and no one will care.
october 13
Another Monday, another long work week ahead of me. Mondays also have the added benefit of being the day the project managers, of which I am one, meet to discuss the ongoing projects. It’s basica...

Is there a point to writing when you’re a few days behind? My life is lacking in interesting material these days.
october 11
I slept in for hours today, and it was wonderful. I have something to say, but I’m not ready to say it yet. Stay tuned, I guess.
october 10
I stayed late today. I’ve been having a slow time of the year so far and it’s been nice, but October is when things start to pick back up and I’m trying to stay ahead of that. I started this year...
october 9
My office ran out of Diet Coke at the worst possible time. I’m about to fall asleep over here. Had therapy today…that’s always a treat.
october 8
I had my last lesson with my statistics student, yeah! I’ve decided to no longer tutor statistics. I love the subject, but it’s hard to tutor students who have an attitude of, “what is the use of...
october 7
I need to figure out how to get everything done in a day AND get to bed at a reasonable time. These late nights are killing me! It likely isn’t a fixable problem until after my exam, though. Spea...
october 6
Happy Monday. Mine was not so happy, and I had a rough day of it. That’s life. My exam is in three weeks and two days. So I guess it’s time to crack down on the studying.
october 5
Today was my second-to-last session with my adult statistics student, and I am so relieved. She’s going to pass the class, I just know it, but barely. That’s frustrating. It is also frustrating w...
october 4
I’m not sure when it happened, but I’m glad to see that we can now make entries friends only instead of having to save them to a separate book. I love the weekends. The weather today was pretty c...
october 3
I met with a new student tonight. I’m tutoring him in algebra 2 (it’s my favorite subject to tutor and it seems to be the one people want help in the most). From the way his mom described him in ...
october 2
Perhaps writing a day behind is the best option, since I can’t seem to write on time anymore. I love Thursdays anymore. Right now it’s my only weekday off from tutoring. Once again I stayed up wa...
october 1
And I don’t even know what happened to September. I had a client meeting today. Those aren’t too common, maybe once a quarter or so. I enjoy going to them, since clients are the entire point of m...

Got a call from C today just as I was leaving to study that G had fallen at daycare and split open his nose (it was pretty bad, I could tell from pics that he was going to need stitches), so that...
september 29
It’s busy season at work, at least until mid-October. Then it’s a different kind of busy season for me due to a specific client. That will last until year-end, and then all the fun year-end work ...
september 28
I’ve started lifting regularly at the gym and I can already feel a difference in my strength. I don’t know why I spent so many years wasting time on the cardio machines when this feels so much be...
september 27
Last night I discovered what may be the last chatroom on earth. It’s full of actuaries, which makes it kind of awesome (at least to me). I was on it until midnight last night and tonight. Super c...

Sigh. I’m not good at remembering the exciting life I’m not having.
