Sprint PCS Samsung SCH-3500 phone for sale

I have recently changed mobile service providers and so I am selling a Samsung SCH-3500 dual-band mobile phone. It is in perfect working order, and in very good condition with only a few minor cosmetic scratches. Included with the phone is a Body Glove Neoprene Cell Suit Case, a desktop charger, and an over-one-ear headset. You can activate this phone with Sprint PCS (online, even) for an activation fee of $34.99, although I believe this fee is waived for current Sprint PCS customers. Don’t quote me on it, though! I’m entertaining all reasonable offers for the phone and its accessories; you pay shipping costs from the San Francisco Bay Area. To make an offer, leave a comment or email me at the address listed in my userinfo. ...

again with the talking

I just got back from my first counseling session, or rather, my first counseling session of Round Two of Keeping Halsted From Going Postal. It was really … nice. My counselor is very supportive and asks good questions. I like her. And of course, there’s no meds involved this time around. I’ll be seeing her Wednesday mornings. I cleaned my study last night and so that’s more liveable. Tonight I go into the city to meet up with the wedding people, who cancelled at the last minute last week. Friday I head down to L.A. to visit Scott. This week has actually been okay, for a change, aside from friends of mine losing their mom last night. I am focusing a lot of positive energy their way right now, what little I have to spare.

recovery

I had a truly wondrous visit with my dad and stepmom. So glad; I needed it. Berkeley is such an incredible place. I would look into Cal for grad school, but they have no MFA in creative writing. Bah. Reading The Stranger by Camus, finally. It’s captivating. Making me want to write in short sentences, too. Oops, even fragments. Shame on me. This morning, I got up to the sound of my new alarm clock at 0600 and was out the door by 0700, just like I used to! It felt great. Unfortunately, the 101 was completely backed up and I didn’t get into the office exactly at 0730. At least I was here before 0745, and with only a 30-minute lunch I’ll feel not at all sorry for leaving on time. That means I have to follow through with the rest of my...

I’ve got the day off to spend with my dad and stepmom, tooling around Marin and Sonoma Counties. Ah, what a life I lead sometimes … Now if I could only get rid of these nasty headaches. Blah. I’m supposed to be in the shower. This is nothing like the shower. No activities even remotely shower-ish are happening. Why am I postponing a lovely day spent sightseeing with loved ones? I don’t get it. Yes, well. I’m going to move my not-getting-it into the shower and consolidate things a bit. The boring-est entry ever. Voila!

two you

I returned from my lame-ass meeting on audiovisual equipment to a gorgeous bouquet of purple irises, fuschia tulips, some other purple-white flower I don’t know the name of, and tiny daisies. Happy two months, Scott. :) (Update 10/25: those purple-white flowers I don’t know the name of are asters. Gorgeous!)

groundhog day

It is the same workday, over and over. I write the same email, talk to the same people, wrestle unsuccessfully with the same bullshit issues. I am coming in later and later and I know that’s no good, but how the hell do I get myself out of bed for a job that has become not only unfulfilling but actively antagonizing? I wanted to stick it out here for the next year, before I go away to graduate school, but I’m wondering if I should even do that. I won’t get a raise — the school doesn’t do that — no matter how well I do or how long I stay here. So why am I here again? … okay, it’s for the people. I love my coworkers. And that’s it. I’m performing a wedding in December, and meeting the bride and groom in...

same old

Today work got crazy, and was only alleviated by a surprise call from my brother and by a gorgeous bouquet of sunflowers and tiger-lilies from my dad. Well, and the knowledge that I’d get to go home for a few hours and sip tea and chat with friends before I had to head back to close the library for one of my employees who is out with a burned eyeball. (yikes.) I feel very loved and proactive and wrung-out and cranky simultaneously. Mostly just tired. I think I’ll take a nap. This reads much like journal entries from a year and more ago, but so much has changed. Three days till Dad visits!
