Nocturnal Activities
I was awake at 6:15 this morning. Normally, Ms. Williamson in a state of conscious thought would be no novelty. In fact, on a weekday, if I weren’t up by 6:15 there would be serious cause for worry. Fortunately, last night wasn’t a weeknight, or I’d have been fucked. I climbed into my soft, happy … Continue reading
Dramatic Irony
Ever since I left for vacation in July, things have been happening in my periphery which effect me. For some reason, the powers that be have decided not to involve me in their decision-making process. At first, it was professional; I was transferred to a new school, our administration left and the district didn’t see … Continue reading
Quitter.
I’m having a serious moral dilemma. Ever since I got back from Minnesota, life just keeps sliding closer and closer to the shitter. For some reason, every organization in Miami-Dade County wants to lie, manipulate, and otherwise make my life hell. I reported to work on Monday, went to my required innane, sometimes painfully boring … Continue reading
Bar-B-Que-d Lizard
I’m sitting here at my computer, sipping on my second glass of pinot grigio this evening, which I’m only half sorry to say has made me more than half-tipsy. Please don’t let this small caveat color what I have to say this evening, or at least if it does, let it be a soft, yellow … Continue reading
Countdown
Hey there, it’s been two weeks. Seems like Monday night is my “I-don’t-give-a-fuck-about-this-week’s-work-that-I-haven’t-done-yet” night. After posting for my two FIU classes, driven DDH to FLL one last time this year, played a game of soccer, and savored several sips of chilled plum wine, and had a rather irritating conversation with the maternal parental unit, I … Continue reading
Getting in the Zone
There has been a brief hiatus of posting, due mostly to a large meltdown of the LOGIC BOARD of my beloved computer, and in a small part to my live-in visitor of late. The logic board Apple fixed for free, after a brief but intense self-meltdown in Kiawah when the screen started to blip, blip, … Continue reading
Here, There, Everywhere
As I type, I am sitting off the coast of South Carolina, back at our usual Williamson wintering grounds of Kiawah Island, South Carolina. Two plane flights, over twenty hours in the car, several changes of climate, and two families later, I’m halfway through my holiday break. Leaving Miami happened in a bit of a … Continue reading
Fall? More figurative than literal.
Living in a tropical (no, literally) climate, seeing the passage of time is different than it is in places where you can see the seasons change. It’s hard to remind myself that time is indeed going by when I can still wear all of my summer clothes and go to the beach on the weekend. … Continue reading
