Worst Physical Shape of My Life
The two highlights of my day: 1) Dean bought me exotic flowers. They’re bright-colored, pretty, and look poisonous! 2) Dean let me drink Provenance wine tonight. He wouldn’t let me drink last night, but he acquiesced tonight. I can’t smell…
What’s Up, Doc?
Here’s the conversation between me and the injury clinic chief. Me: Will I be ok to run the Kaiser 5k on Sunday? Dr: (grunts humorously) Me: But I ran the marathon last year. Dr: You won’t be doing that. I…

Boyfriends Crossing
Dean took me out last night to perk me up. Get out of the house for a change of scenery, he said. We decided on the new restaurant hot spot Cotogna. OpenTable didn’t have a reservation until 10:30pm, but we…
I Like Sad Movies
I’ve been depressed the past couple weeks. Mostly because of my job. I don’t feel appreciated. I don’t see any career progression. It’s sad that your self-esteem can be so closely tied to your career. I should just get over…
