the more things change the more they stay the same

some new things in my life since we last talked...

1. luna!

2. moved to alexandria

3. became a nurse practitioner <3

4. iphone



though i've long mocked the iphone, now that it is in my life i am a pretty big fan. most notably i've been trying to photojournal my life through instagram, positing at least 1 picture every day. i'm going to try to do it for a least a year. i guess a part of what i'm trying to do is capture the daily bits that i often forget as life moves forward. how the bushes look on my daily walks, the trees and scenes i see everyday, ordinary moments in my apartment. i don't have a place to store these pictures or cumulatively look at them so i decided to come back here. to my old place where i was trying to do the same thing, just at a different time. i've already been uploading a daily photo to my phone for the past 6 weeks, now i'm trying to figure out how to make it happen here.

stay tuned :)

what happened to february?

missed a month but i still love you. promise.

blaaaaaaaah

i hate winter. it makes me feel terrible.
winter is dark, cold, grey, and seems unkind.

luckily i get to pick my own thoughts like flowers. i'm hoping for this result in a few hours.

wild wednesday

take necessary precautions.

precious treasure part II

today i found a whole new hospital...it is not everyday you work at a hospital for 2 years and find out that there is another WING to the hospital, right there, all the time. to be fair - it is mostly offices of doctors that work in the hospitals where i work. but still, i had never been to any part of it! and the name: WEST HOSPITAL.

world, keep the surprises coming!

precious treasure

i walk around the fan like it's my job. i love walking around the fan and have been doing so for about 3 years. i know most of the streets but not all of them. never all of them. and the other day my friend and i went on a walk and she showed me a NEW STREET! what a precious treasure. it is 3 blocks long. it is not hard to get to but not a noticeable street by any means. those 3 blocks look like 1950s/london. it seems idyllic. children play in the road together and leave their toys out. it is oddly peaceful and quiet compared to the rest of the fan. the day after i was exposed to West Ave. i woke up and took a walk to go back and check it out. that was this morning. i decided to take a picture diary of my trip to share with you.

damn the man?

went to kroger late last night because i'd just returned home after a month away to NO FOOD. this simply wouldn't do. as i'm checking out, i put in my kroger id and am congratulating myself on using a fake phone number so the man can't infiltrate my life. then i realize i gave a legit name and address so maybe the man is already in my life. however, as i'm checking out a funny thing happens.,.the machine starts printing coupons JUST FOR ME!!! it is only coupons of things i buy most frequently and thus will definitely use - amazing. maybe i love the man?

3 coupons/most purchased items
1. greek yogurt. duh.
2. coffee creamer
3. grapefruit juice!

creepy computer kroger, i think i love you <3
