Wednesday: an evening in short stories
Posted on October 20, 2011 by KK in kitties, random, work.I bought a blanket at Pottery Barn last week that I have been eyeing for about 6 months now. Is it weird to be obsessed with a blanket? Anyway, it’s cable knit and then one side is lined with super soft fleece. I brought it home and tonight curled up under it to read. I’m […]

One of those days.
Posted on March 2, 2011 by KK in work.I was planning on updating you all today about what I’ve been doing lately, because I realized that I wrote a lot about Dan in yesterday’s post. Except I am exhausted. Today was one of those days where I was constantly going from one thing to the next, without a lot of time to sit […]

Schlep is a fun word to say.
Posted on March 1, 2011 by KK in work.Dan and I have the same job. Which requires living on campus. We work at different universities (he is at Cal Maritime, I am still at UC Berkeley).

She was in the hospital a few days ago for some serious nausea and pain after her first round of chemo – bad news. She had an MRI a couple of days […]

Good news
Posted on October 30, 2008 by Dan in work.Well, I went through the three day RAD Instructor Certification training and I did the simulation, which bascially entails me getting attacked by large men in padded suits in three different situations (walking by, from behind, multiple attackers) and whooped some ass. And I passed all my tests SO now I can teach other college […]
