In a Nutshell

Sorry I've been a little m.i.a. lately. Life's been more than a little hectic. What have I been up to you ask? Well, to make a long story short, I've been:

• deconstructing my identity through therapy. the decompensation continues...
  
• dealing with an eviction notice from my landlord. um, three days to vacate? what?
  
• dealing with the ongoing effects of an emergency visit to the vet and the clear signs of Stockholm syndrome my cat has been showing as a result of me shoving medicine down her throat twice a day that smells like pepto-bismol. what makes anyone think that the taste of pepto will be remotely palatable to a cat? why not make it taste like tuna, i ask.
  
• training for a 10k (which mostly consists of berating myself for not training)
• hating school and having more work to do than i ever have before. i feel guilty for even writing this right now. and then there are exams, which are right around the corner. but let's not go there right now, m'kay?
  
• trying to deal with the ramifications of my developing crush on yet another unavailable man. this time i chose the safe route of pining for someone who lives several states away and is in a relationship.
  
• dealing with continued threats of litigation from the summer subletter. ugh.
  
• hanging out with kelley. can't wait to see you again! well, you and all the other friends i've been neglecting. chrissie, i know that includes you.
  
• getting so annoyed about my leaky toilet that i'm ready to drop out of law school and become a plumber. actually, any excuse to drop out would do. I take that back. Not any excuse.
  
• watching Rome season 1. it's like crack only without the dental issues. (can someone please confirm that it hasn't been canceled?)
• partying like it's 1999 at the school auction and waking up in a haze the next day to realize that in my stupor, i bid on and won a tattoo.
• watching Borat. it's piss your pants, stomach cramps for hours funny. see it.
