Just dropping a note so no one worries. On Monday, we got news that Natania’s dad was in the hospital. He was unresponsive, and running a fever, and there was a chance that meningitis might be the culprit. Anyway, I zoomed out of work and back home, and we decided that Natania would head to…

After a rather trying weekend, Natania and I arrived home at about 1pm and immediately crashed. We napped until 4ish, and then went out to run a few errands and spend some hard-earned wedding money. It was at Linens N’ Things that we discovered exactly what we were looking for: a joyous addition to the…

Laura and I were chatting about books the other day. She mentioned one that I should read, and as I’ve recently finished a series of novels that I’ve been at for nearly ten years, I asked her for more suggestions; I need to tackle something different, you see. Something I’ve not really thought about reading.…

From an email I just sent to my parents: I’m sure I didn’t tell you, but Natania’s mom is visiting for the weekend. She brought all the address book stuff, so we’ll have the addresses you need for the rehearsal dinner to you by Monday at the latest. We bought a new couch today! Totally…

… It’s Saturn’s Day. We took him to the shelter today. It wasn’t pleasant, but I guess it shouldn’t be. I’m not deluding myself with any false hope for the cat’s survival. I just wish it didn’t have to be like this. When Luna died so abruptly back in July, we just knew that we…

Yesterday, right before I left work, my boss said to me: “This is a rather uncomfortable conversation to have with someone, Michael.” The first thing that went through my head was, Oh, shit. She’s going to get after me for taking a long lunch today. But I was wrong… Last week, Natania and I had…

I haven’t watched MTV in about three years, but I just saw the video for the Modest Mouse song, “Ocean Breathes Salty,” and it’s pretty darn cool. If you’ve got about four minutes, and a broadband connection, check it out. Maybe not as technically neat as the video for “Float On,” but still, this is…

Doing laundry now, and trying to write on this, my night off. I paid all the bills for the month and it feels good to know that I won’t get any late charges. We’re getting an account with the State Employees Credit Union, and that will feel good, because I’ll know that instead of BB&T’s…

It’s been awhile, I know. A very tough week, all in all, but it’s nearly over. Our new cat, Odin, continues to shit on the floor. We continue to try and condition him to love the litterbox, it is your friend, it will not hurt you. Things are getting very frustrating with that entire situation,…

I am unclean. The dirt will not wash out. Earlier, while working on my story, there was a hair sticking out from one of my keys on my keyboard. I looked down and was suddenly and completely disgusted by the filth beneath the keys. So I started to clean my keyboard. I probably would have…
