You can always tell my life is going pretty swell when I stop writing in here for days at a time. Boringly swell, anyhow. Mondays aren't so inherently great, but Mondays when you decide to suck ...

Some people wanted to see pics of the Jack Daniels tiki torches. There are some pics on my twitter page: https://twitter.com/onacoffeybreak/media Today has been...meh. I hate Sundays. Well, I'll...

I woke up in even more pain than yesterday, so I bought some heating pads and Aleve. I was putting pressure on the most painful spot and felt something go "pop", so I'm hopeful that I fixed the p...

Fridays are the absolute best. I studied this afternoon and then spent the evening in bed because I managed to pull something in my neck and can't move it much at all. It's not like the kind of ...

Tonight I succeeded in making homemade tiki torches. Out of Jack Daniels bottles, since I have at least a dozen of them. I took a bottle and filled it with citronella. Specifically I just bough...

It's late and I've had a long day. I spent the whole day at work just trying to find motivation to do real work and failed, mostly. After work was date night at the franklin park conservatory. ...

Lots of interesting things are in the mix right now. One, I stopped by the friend of my mother's to inquire about the piano she is giving away. It's in fine shape; needs a key replaced (which co...

I had a rough day today, and then a really sweet thing happened...roomie came to therapy with me. I never expected it and it was so nice. I don't think he was comfortable to be there, but I was j...

I have been trying to wake up at reasonable times on the weekends. Reasonable, for me, means up and out of bed before ten. And then no naps after that, which I think is actually the harder part. ...

One of my favorite things to do in the summer is go to the fair. Today was the perfect day to go, since it was sunny but not too hot. And it seemed like everyone else in Columbus agreed with me, ...

My uncle (dad's older brother) came into town on Tuesday night and is leaving tonight (he had a high school reunion to attend in Illinois, I'm guessing it was the 35th or 40th), so my mom texted ...

For a month or two, I have been attempting to drink less Diet Coke. I'm not doing it because of the caffeine; I have such a minimal reaction to caffeine, and I don't suffer much in the way of wit...

I have been having a "what is WRONG with me?" morning. Every once in a while it the fact that I have a really great life just bitch slaps me in the face and I'm left wondering, why can't I apprec...

With the exception of buying a bookshelf for the study, I think I'm done spending money for a while. I still need chairs and a big bookshelf for the living room, and a new dining room table, and ...

Has anyone tried the Yes to Tomatoes product line? I've heard good things and my skin gets terrible in the summertime. Also, I love trying out new face washes to see what works well for me. I had...

It's been a very productive weekend and I'm sorry to see it go. Let's see...I already mentioned how we spent all yesterday afternoon cleaning up the apartment after spending all morning spending ...
july 19
We spent most of this afternoon cleaning the apartment, which was a huge undertaking, but it's done now. And I hope to NEVER have to move again. It's the worst. After that we went to surly girl...

I think I'm somewhat of a snob when it comes to my territory. For instance, I find it SO irritating when a new person comes into a group and adopts the inside jokes that existed prior to that per...

Now that I'm in the house, I've started watching tv again. I haven't had cable since I moved out of the house last April, and I didn't miss it. But, now that I have it again, I'm wasting so much ...

Ugh I have miserable congestion. Today I spent close to $3k. I had to buy a new washer and dryer because our dryer crapped out on us already (I was planning on replacing soon anyway I just thou...
july 15
Oof. What a day. I didn't sleep very well last night, since air mattresses are the worst, but fortunately that is no longer an issue since the movers came and moved my bed and other furniture ove...

Grades are up for my exam, and I got a 6. I've likely explained this before, but the way these exams works is the pass mark is set for a particular sitting of an exam (usually somewhere around 65...

I am halfway moved in. And too exhausted to write much else. Sleeping on an air mattress in the middle of the living room. So goodnight.

I had intended to celebrate my exam passing last night with Mexican food and margs, my go-to celebratory meal. I ate at my favorite Mexican restaurant and had a large, strong marg, then we left f...
