St. John’s Wort, Trash, and Hero

• Tuesday, August 31st, 2004 • No Comments

I’m really tired, so if this borders on completely horribly typoed and completely insane, I’m terribly sorry.

Work last night was OK. Same as it ever was, really. Yesterday I slept for about an hour on my shift, which was nice. Tonight there was a bit more to do, kind of, as there was one less [...]


I Believe in Mr. Grieves

• Sunday, August 29th, 2004 • 2 Comments

Work was excellent. We had about half the patient load of the last two days, so it was a little more relaxed. I was saddled with a bunch of pseudo-responsibility though, which was a burden as much as it was nice. I sort of felt what it was like to be a technician. I was [...]

On Being Old

• Friday, August 27th, 2004 • No Comments

It must be cool to be old. You go places and people look at you and think, “Wow that guy is old. Maybe I should go up to him and ask him if it gets any easier as you get older. Like, maybe at his age you don’t care as much, or you don’t have [...]


Cleaning! (Finally)

• Friday, August 27th, 2004 • 2 Comments

So, I finally got around to cleaning. I figured I’d take pictures because, hey, what’s a better way to not clean while cleaning than taking pictures of you… not cleaning? Exactly. As you can see in this first picture, my closet resides over my bed, which is currently turned upward so I can vacuum under [...]

How far in the future is this convo? Why is he telling it? How long should each future glimpse be?

And do you remember what I said when I came to? I said, “I do.”

It was our wedding day when I fainted for the first time. You were there, of course, all done up and looking [...]
