I finally transferred files from my new camera to my computer. I need to take a class in LR and PS. I am under-utilizing those programs. It took forever. I think I also need to come up with a cloud storage option for my stuff. Back-ups are critical.

I signed up for Medical Cannabis. I really hope it helps. I feel like I am losing too much of my life to sitting down from pain. The site says up to 30 days for the request to be processed. Also, traveling across state lines with it is technically speaking really illegal. Fuck you Jeff Sessions. Fuck you in the ear.

Yesterday I bottle of wine exploded in my hand at work. I have never had that happen before. I have been working there for almost 11 years. This was a spectacular kind of shatter that had me terrified that I was going to be pulling glass shards out of my skin for days. Three different people cleaning up the area over 2 days and there are still visible glass shards on the wine racks. Probably near 30 bottles of wine had to be discounted because the labels were covered in wine. My boss just rolled with it. He was glad I wasn't hurt and in the 16 years that the store has been running that has only happened mebbe a dozen times. The hand that was holding the bottle that shattered is sore today, like the muscles between the bones are sore. Dunno if that is connected.

Went to a Suzanne Vega concert last night and got pretty lit. Absinthe is a start the night type drink not the end. 0.o Unexpectedly EE came up. Turns out the gal that told me about the concert is friends with her BabyDaddy and wanted to know if EE and I were still on good terms. I was able to reassure her that I am not a spy for EE on BabyDaddy. I now have the possibility of reconnecting with the boy that I lost because his mother went bat-shit on me. I cried A Lot.

Wow. I don't even know what to say here right now. General update-ness I suppose.

This past week I started a job that I should be able to keep through school. I'm kinda hoping I'm not going to have to get two. I have proved to the mrg that I can hold my own in verbal sparring contests. I doubt I'd ever win one with a pro but I can hold my own and score points with an average player. Working at a wine and spirits store has some advantages. Serious discounts being among them. The fact that this wine store is in the Mall? Mall discounts too. Sweet.

Learning lots about wine. Thats nice. Learning how many people who work at the Mall are constantly buzzed. Not so nice. We do have some pretty nice stock. I got three bottles of wine that I was supposed to try, evaluate and see if I could remember what kind of grape they were made of all the way to my next shift. That'd be tomorrow. I've tried one of them. An old vine red Zinfandel called Plungerhead. I didn't like it. But I do remember characteristics of it that I could share with other people if they are wanting to know about it or red zins in general. The other two are still uncorked. Have to change that soon. Hehe, I get homework that involves drinking. Whats your job? Oh wait, you probably get paid more than me.

My fingernails are berry blue. I may go out with a bang here. Not going to be able to have even short nails soon. I shortened them pretty significantly not long ago. There are a few people close to me who will simultaneously miss my claws and likely heave a huge sigh of relief. Still, I'm looking forward to starting school.

Filling out paperwork today. I don't remember doing some of this last time around. Like, I don't remember having to chose my lender. Other bits are very familiar. I swear gov't forms rarely change content. People at the school are being very helpful in this tedious process of navigating dried woodpulp.

Elevated pain levels in the past week or so. WTF? I don't know. Lots and lots of things effect pain levels. I've not been managing something properly.

Wandered around the Upton Art Fair with PIC this weekend after a lovely steak and eggs breakfast at the Herkimer. Saw lots of beautiful things. I was moved to tears a couple of times. By what you ask? Pictures of the ocean. Duh. Photography is amazing. I want to go to Greece. I want to see Santorini, the city, the bluffs, the bay, everything. I want to swim in the Mediterranean Sea. I want to visit the islands and the sacred sites. Did I mention I cried at the pictures of the ocean?
