Always hard getting into the swing of FAFSA filing season after the holidays. Nurse Girl was fond of saying "winter is a wonderful time to be in love". Maybe so, but the holidays are a suck-ass time to be single. And now 14 really? 13 years later I feel like I've just wandered around in a big circle, because it may as well be January 2000, not January 2013. The Burritos Trio is putting a serious brake on my calorie limits. I think the plan is to stop, and run with turkey-bacon-pretzel Lean Pockets fro... (...more)

Went to sleep at a reasonable time, woke briefly once in the night, not extended sleeplessness like last night.

Woke again ~8, leveled up and spent down my health in CA, coffee and vitamins, added a shot of Stoli Vanil when I'd made room in the mug. Another shot around 10:30, lazed and CA festival guild battle. The gym closes at 3 today, and I downed the Naked Protein Zone banana-chocolate smoothie and a banana before hopping in the shower intending to get th... (...more)
