Dysfunction Suits Me

Go To Bed!

Up late again, when I need to be sleeping. My mind is just too awake, even though my body is screaming for dreamland.

My weekend highlights:

1. Sunday morning breakfast with Josh at La Madeleine - strong French roast coffee and a potato gallete

2. A waiter dressed like Jack Sparrow and engaged to Daphne from Scooby Doo, who was the other waiter! HOT HOT HOT!!!

3. Email from the AOC. Surprise, Surprise.

I broke down and bought a pair of capris at Old Navy. Ok, Josh bought them for me. Thank you Josh!!! I also bought two new DVDs. The Criterion Collection of My Own Private Idaho and Bertolucci's The Dreamers. Talk about a nude fest! Oh yea! Josh also used his Best Buy $10 gift card to buy me the Damien Rice CD of B-Sides. Thank you, again, Josh!!! You made my weekend so much better, and I know that I was absolutely mean and rude, and horrible to you every minute that I spent with you! I was in such a bad mood, but you definitely helped me feel a little better!

After this past mentally exhausting weekend, I can't wait to curl up with Gabby (as soon as I feel tired enough) and wake up to a lovely, rainy Monday, and let my mind be busy for the next 5 days.

Am I Going To Die? I just got stung for the first time ever by a wasp . . . So far so good . . . I can still breathe, I haven't swelled up like a balloon, yet . . . But it hurts and itches like crazy!!! It's almost the end of the semester and I am completely swamped! Two projects, two papers, and three finals, all in the next 3 weeks . . . Somehow I'll handle it. I've actually all of sudden "woken up" where school is concerned. I've been in such a daze for like the last 7 or 8 months. The AOC has changed my life as I knew it . . . in good and bad ways!!! Bad because he takes up too much of my thoughts . . . and I need all the brain capacity that I can get!!! Somehow, after years of barely even talking to anyone at work, and only a couple of years of actually being a little more friendly with my co-workers, I seem to have been sucked up in "office politics" and I HATE it! I used to really like going to work . . . now I just want to quit!! It still...

DIY Faux Brick Wall with German Schmear

Written February 14, 2021, when I tried to start a WordPress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. My estranged (?), separated (?), I don't know what, husband, and I actually worked on this together. I watched 1,000 YouTube videos and read another 1,000 posts on how to do this. In the end, I took a little from here and a little from there. The faux brick paneling was bought from Home Depot. We cut the seams with a Ryobi jigsaw , used liquid nails and a Ryobi nail gun to attach the panels, and used joint compound mixed with a bit of water for the schmear. It's a perfectly, imperfect technique. I practiced a little, but decided to just jump in and let the wall take on a life of it's own. I will warn that the joint compound dries much whiter than you think it will. Use sparingly if you want to see more brick. Once the wall was finished, I painted the other walls Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige . Shelves and floor...

Time to Share? I have a huge crush. I have a huge crush on a man I've never met in person. I have a huge crush on a man who does things that are very cool. Yesterday in the mail I got the book that he sent me...the book that he wrote...a book about all of his travels and adventures. The more I read this book, the less confident I start to feel about this being a possible "match". I have no idea what I can offer this older, more sophisticated, more worldly man. The biggest adventures in my life are grappling with 18-year old freshmen for a parking space at school, finishing a set of push-ups and pull-ups at the gym, or wrestling my daughter to the ground for a bath. Maybe I can teach him all about Sponge-Bob Square Pants? This is again one of those times where things seem too good to be true. The emails we send back and forth would suggest that there is a great interest and curiosity on both sides, and that something really good could possibly come from this!!! His ...
