I'm tired but I'm working, yeah.

I haven't written on Kiddnation in a long time since I've started missvoran.wordpress.com (shameless plug, I know). But I read Al's post and it broke my heart. Ever since Toby left for Korea our puppy Cosette has been living with me. She's not quite a year and is definitely a handful. More energy in one living being I have never seen. And between working full time and school full time really the last thing I want to do when I ge… Continue

ahhhhh I'm going a little bit crazy. School starts tomorrow, I have an advising meeting today because my schedule is jacked up, turns out... I'm sure it will work out; I would just like to know the classes I'm taking eventually.
Toby leaves Sunday. This Sunday. And it's finally setting in for him that he's leaving for a year. So every morning at about 3 am I'm woken up by him clinging to me. Which is so sweet and I know in a week I'd kill to be woken up by him. But now it's killing me. I stay up… Continue

I haven't been in a blogging mood lately, for no particular reason.

Seemed hauntingly like appendicitis, so Toby took me to the emergency room. Long, painful story short, it was a kidney stone. Pretty random, but I'm… Continue

Well, not so much the shaking and baking. My days are working and helping Toby move lately. Certainly nothing exciting enough to blog about, but I find myself at work with no work, so here I am. Most of Toby's stuff is going in boxes to be stored at my apartment. (a daunting task, as I live in a studio apartment smaller than most living rooms...) But I won't mind having his stuff around. The rest of my time it seems is explaining how this year apart will work when, technically, even I don't know… Continue

Packing up Toby's apartment and cherishing the few weeks I have left with him for the next year has left me introspective. I'm really focusing on being positive and excited for him and along the way I'm being reminded of the many things I have to be thankful for. It's list time!

-I have supportive parents who are really good about letting me live my own life and fight my own battles...but who will still buy me groceries when they come visit.

-After years of unhealthy relationships with myself… Continue
