For now this "journal" will be located (and likely continued) here. I'll miss being able to have pictures. And Everything in _one_ place. Ah well. Maybe it's better this way. Feel free to visit Everything In Its Place at its new home. Thanks.

Headaches

2003-09-03T06:37:00.000-07:00

Headaches, migraines, etc. Killer pains. How much Excedrin today? It's been two days with this non-stop agony. No sleep. No ability to concentrate for any length of time. Nausea. Blech. I tried posting a similar post as this yesterday and it didn't work. Wonder if it will today. What to take for the pain when the only reliable remedy (Excedrin) isn't working? :(

Balloon Dreams

2003-08-27T17:13:00.000-07:00

I wish I had a picture. A few days ago, from my house, in the distance, I saw this hot air balloon hovering low in the sky. It's not so rare a sight that I'd feel a need to stand and gawk at it for an hour or anything, but it's not something I see everyday. So yes, I did gawk a bit. A short while later, I see this same balloon (not as far away as it looked) crossing over the highway, low enough that if it were closer to the nearby overpass, it could've touched it. I wondered if that person had been that low intentionally, to watch the drones heading to work, or if it were some mistake s/he were frantically trying to correct. That's more excitement than I could handle that early in the morning. It was quite a sight to see though. Definitely wish I had brought my camera to work that day. Does it feel like you can touch the sky when you're in a hot air balloon?

Anger

2003-08-25T04:03:00.000-07:00

Anger has its place. I wish i knew where to put it and be rid of it. Sometimes it's useful. But usually, it just confuses the issue. Wish I could safely vent it before it gets me into trouble. Doesn't usually work out that way though. Too many anger issues. Suppressing it doesn't make it go away. How to process it without causing damage? NFI. So for now.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

A Begining

This is the begining of nothing special. Or perhaps, nothing at all.
