Ch-ch-changes Part Duex!

When we last saw out herorine, she was neck deep in a lack of privacy.

This status is currently on hiatus while the temporary squatter visits the homeland of Cheerwine and Vinegar based BBQ.

This is not to say that I don't enjoy having him around.

 I just like being able to walk around in my underwear.

Anywho, while he is away, I will be enjoying the last bit of personal space and freedom. This isn't because his stay on my floor is permanent. Though he will be in that apartment through to March. It's because I'm leaving.

Moving back home temporarily to help out. But I refuse to sleep on the couch, so I'm taking over the alcove beneath the stairs. Harry Potter style!

Gone will be the days of gentlemen callers in the wee hours of the morning.

So the job hunts begins again..... stay tuned!

Self Image- Be Positive

Normally, when I look at myself without my specs, I feel incomplete and awkward. My face feels too light and my nose begins to itch. I'm so accustomed to the blurry faded black box just outside my peripheral, that I forget that I wasn't always this way. But today, I woke and could find no faults across the span of my skin. The sun hadn't decided to rise but I was perfectly content and at ease with my face, skin, and body. Its a good way to end the year, I do believe.

Just me

Me, sans my glasses.

A Tale of Two Time Zones: Christmas Edition

The morning arose, and we crawled from our beds

Though I was 3 hours earlier, as the plan had said,

Ready with tea, to share in this tradition that Christmas bred.

But alas, I would find that the timelines didnt intertwine,

They had forgotten our arrangement and I was far behind.

To sleep they suggested, that I happily return

And to to hell I offered them, where all time can burn

Tis the season

To avoid the songs that drift by

No tree to trim, dress or sit beside

Dodging good cheer and holiday spirit careening after me

Curled around a book and cup of tea

And I sit here hiding from the joy

Dreaming of a bright eyed boy

Popping plastic, my favorite toy

Yes, this is a gif of me popping bubble wrap
