For those of you who don’t know, Gerry is moving to L.A. for a fantastic job. On the one hand, yay! Fantastic new job! On the other hand, boo! I will miss him so much! And I will also miss his rent money, crass as that sounds. This puts Nesko and me in a potentially [...]

I went to the doctor yesterday and it was in general a positive experience. My blood pressure was 120/70, which is totally within the realm of human normalcy. My pulse was 100 (“do you have heart palpitations?” “No, I’m terrified of you!”). I’ve lost just over 20 pounds since the beginning of March (mostly from [...]

I cleaned my hair last night with sea salt and baking soda in water, rinsed it with lemon juice and water, and then thought it felt greasy. Soaking wet and with no more baking soda in the bathroom, I slapped a bunch of Dr Bronner’s diluted castille soap on the top of my head and [...]

I didn’t take a shower this morning. I normally take a shower every morning because if I don’t, I’m greasy and disgusting. Well, really only my face and hair are greasy and disgusting. I don’t shower the night before because normally, if I wash my hair and then go to bed, I wake up with [...]

Nesko and I have been dating each other for about ten years and have lived together for almost four years, not counting all the times he’d “stay the night” (read: come over and not leave for a week or so) before we signed a lease together. We got engaged a few months before moving in [...]
