So… there are, as always, multiple NoJoMos apparently. So… I’ll just do both! :p :) Previous: NOJOMO 1 Create a five-question survey for others to fill out and fill it out for yourself as an i...
Oh Bother
I think I got all of 3 hours of sleep last night. Which means I am not physically fine today (sore, stiff, pain). It also means I’m not emotionally/mentally great. Because since I didn’t s...
Bah

Trice

Shouting a Happy
Lately, I’ve taken to re-reading older entries of mine. There have been significant recurring themes. Last year, at this point, I was desperate to leave my job. The year before that, I was desper...
Bad Chris!
Apparently, I’m not handling things well. Sunday night, I drank to excess. Woke up in bed with no memory of how I got there. My glasses on the floor in the living room. Monday night, I drank to...
Dear Friends
Dear Friends: This weekend’s marriage counseling finally hit upon The Great Nuclear Issue of our marriage. It was… necessary… and painful. I should write about it. However, this is also a week ...
Good morning, all

Struggling For Words
So… it is the night. It is right before bed. And what consumes my mind is the hypothetical… the possible… the “perhaps.” I know for certain my car is totaled. AND so I consider.... could I have...
Book Description
Life is not what I had hoped it would be at this point. Growing up, I always thought I would have a house, a wife, a dog, and at least one child by the time I was 34. Well, I turn 34 in 5 months and I can’t even get the house part right. Looking into the Future of Me… all I want in this world is that House and Beginning to Work Towards Adulthood. That is what I want. But working where I am as of January 2018? I don’t see a good path forward. Hopefully, something changes. Hopefully, I can make something happen or something happens for me. Until then, I just have to keep working through the maze… hope I find a little cheese now and then.
