a boring day at work is an easy day at work; time passes by very slowly but at least i’m not stressed out. i need someone to deliver me some more coffee & something to read. i feel accomplished just because i transfered money into my savings account (for my trip to kauai in july) and i put a book on hold at the library.
new year’s eve was a shit show. i had to wake up early the...

on the 1st, i felt pretty gross with the start of some cold symptoms. that night, i ate 5 cloves of raw garlic, had a few tbspns of braggs apple cider vinegar, and had an emergen-c packet. the next morning, i woke up feeling MUCH better and had another emergen-c with 2 more raw cloves of garlic on a bagel. and all of my symptoms totally disappeared! who needs medicine when you’ve got...

sipping miso soup out of an enormous mason jar. caffeine isn’t working today. i’m feeling incredibly burnt out & am ready to be done with my busiest holiday petsitting season ever.
2011 was a good year. i remember being in an awful mood last new year’s eve & almost thought about staying in; but then i decided that i really needed to make up for lost time (2010 was...

working on thanksgiving.
my manager just stopped by to give me a secret greyhound cocktail hidden in an old aquafina water bottle. for this i am grateful.
last night i told one of my roommates that i’ve been feeling very “lone wolf-y” these days. as a pet sitter, i spend most of the holiday season (halloween through new year’s) at other people’s houses. this can be a very time consuming, & kinda lonely (in both a negative & postive way — right now i’m kinda digging it) career, but it’s a...
