Woke up at 6:30am, tried for 2 hours to fall asleep. Just when I was about to give up and roll out of bed for coffee, I dozed off. It was restless, the wind was whipping, rain was beating against the house. It's so blah outside, I've been feeling kind of blah, so the weather and I kind of match 🌫🌬 That's not to say...

When things feel one-sided and I feel like I'm the one doing all the work and putting in all the effort. 😢😥

This morning at work was dead, 4-20 minute appointments in 5 hours, slow. I had an uncontrolled diabetic dog with pancreatitis to take care of, IV fluids, blood glucoses every 2 hours, so that gave me something to do.

To all my SG friends. Whatever you do tonight, be it party or a quiet night at home, be safe and have fun. I hope you all spend it surrounded by friends, family, and people you care about.

I don't like 'asking' for things or providing a list for anyone for Xmas. Buuuut, this is my favorite NIN album. C'mon, pleeeeaaassseee?? *bats my pretty eyelashes* 😆 I kid. But seriously, this would be awesome to own.

It's finally [argh!] winter in the Midwest. We are under a winter weather advisory until Monday. My area of Chicago is expected to get 10", west and north 12". I don't mind the snow, I have lived in Illinois all my life. And like me, many folks have lived here their entire lives as well...they sure don't act like they know how to drive in...
