Once again it is the end of the day and I realized that I still have to post something for the nablopomo challenge. So here is more randomness: Today I got an A on a research proposal for a paper. That’s great. My professor loves my writing, However, my professor doesn’t like my paper idea. …
Day 17: Monday Musings
I couldn’t sleep last night. I think it’s because I A) Slept until noon and B) By mistake yesterday (when I woke up at noon) took an extra dose of the pill that treats my sleep disorder. It causes alertness. In my case, too much. Aye. No sleepiness for this girl. So I was wired…
Day 16: I’m *This* Close!
Like I mentioned in my post yesterday, I was really mad about work, of all things. What a waste of a day. But I’m over it. Really. I did not go to work today. I slept in until noon and I intend to be in my pajamas all day. I actually like my job, a…
Day 15: I Needed a Little Perspective Today
Good news/Bad News day. The first news of the day was that the mother of a very dear friend of mine passed away early this morning. She had been battling cancer for several years, and today, lost that battle. So all day I have been sad for my friend. Losing anyone you love is hard;…
Day 14: My Love Hate Relationship With Facebook
Facebook is so amusing to me. One thing that amuses me about it are the status updates where someone announces that they are “cleaning up” their friends list. One of my friends did it in rounds. With every “cut” she announced that she had cut more people and if we her (Facebook) friends wanted to…
Day 13: No Phone Thursday
I left my phone at home today by mistake. I was on my way to work and I thought about turning around and driving home to grab it, then I remembered that I am writing this paper on nomophobia. So I thought that this would be a good exercise in going one day without my…
Day 12: Life is Really Random Sometimes
When our son turned 18 we knew he’d need someone to oversee his legal and personal matters and so we (meaning my ex and I) both petitioned for full guardianship. It started out being a contested issue; i.e., we both wanted the same thing and to be the only one to have it. The judge…
Day 11: Ignorance Knows No Boundaries
A few years ago I was browsing in a bookstore and found a book called “Ten Things Your Child With Autism Wishes You Knew.” I was tempted to buy at least a dozen copies of the book and wrap it up and give it to a bunch of family member as Christmas gifts. I didn’t….
Day 10: Half-you Half-me
Like I mentioned in a post the other day, I believe that in every story there are always multiple versions of the truth. That is because people can only give an accurate picture from their own point of view. Some people are capable of looking at things from multiple points of view. For some, however,…
Nine of 30!
Our TV broke yesterday. This is the TV that I proudly bought a few months ago when the gigantic one I inherited in my divorce broke. I was overjoyed when that TV broke. Now with this TV not so much. I’ve owned it for less than 5 months. The good news is that the iPad…
