Oh, Transitions
Yesterday was a whirlwind day. I drove to where the new apartment is; I contacted the landlord and he and I get along great. Got me all set up. Called my new job and got it all sorted. Still s...
Twitter-Sized Update... Updated 3:04
Three things: (1) I was able to find a single apartment for Rent that I could move into quickly. I am visiting today (with fingers crossed tightly that the place isn’t a shit hole) and hoping to...
Lazer Focus & Interest
Panic and Focus go kind of hand in hand. I think that’s why my dreams of late have been centered on the idea of College Finals. That moment where you have to focus and push through as hard as y...
SHIT (Clearly this entry will use bad language)
Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit. Shit. So… I was requested to make a decision about SMALL County because the Board of Supervisors had approved my potential hire. So I told them yes. However… LAR...
A Positive
Lots of thoughts all at once right now. So I’ll share how my process works when that is true. First, I’ll write an opening few lines (as so), then I’ll write numbers and categories to remember ...
Wife's Birthday & Father's Day & Que
My wife has now been alive for 38 years. I can’t in good conciousness say she has turned 38 years old. Even she doesn’t deign to say such a thing. Because she knows that when you average ever...
Politics and Surveys
So… I wrote about politics in my Prosebox. I appreciate most/many/just about all the notes I received. You folks know that I am a thoughtful person that rarely comes to opinions or decisions wi...
IRL Grinding
Okay… I know I’m a snob… it isn’t the first time I’ve said that. I grew up in places with populations over 100,000 people. With that in mind? Fuck rural communities! I have never had more tro...
A gray Monday
Thank you all for reading and noting the last entry. Obviously, that has taken center stage in my mind today. It just… in a marriage, where you don’t hear “I love you”… don’t kiss occasionally…...
As It Happens
Friday night after MIL went to sleep and Wife and I adjourned to bed? I couldn’t sleep. At all. I tried. Wife fell asleep. And I lay in bed… trying. Honestly? I think it has just become to...
Friday and Origins
Wife’s mother is in town. She is staying at our place Friday night, Saturday, Sunday, into Monday. She is here for a big Iowa United Methodist function. I’ll say this: seeing Wife interact wit...
GR and Garumph
How much backstory is needed? Many weeks ago, I bought (for myself and Wife) tickets to a rare live event. I knew it would be one of those extraordinarily rare events that both Wife and I would e...
Blood in the Water
Interviews aren’t guarantees of jobs; but I like to think in terms of the law of averages. If you interview ONCE, you have ONE chance at getting hired. If you do 4 interviews in 1 month, you’ve...
One with some Meat to it
Thank you all for the notes on my last Relationship entry. I’ve given it some thought and I appreciate what was stated. It makes a lot of sense to simply allow my Wife to feel and react the way...
Hot Days and Algorithms
This morning I woke early to get things done. Emptied the dishwasher, did a load of laundry, went out to get groceries… that last one may have been a mistake. Hot day. AND I’m a sweating kind ...
Getting a Little Political
I am continually horrified by my country. The Baker Case was resolved yesterday. For those unfamiliar… a gay couple contacted a wedding cake business to make a cake for their wedding. The owner...
Proactive Defense
Stuff happened today. Other stuff happened today. This is another quick one. When we got home from seeing my parents (and brother, sister in law, niece, and Godfather), Wife decided to see what...
Miniature Entry
This isn’t a real entry and you are more than welcome to move on. However, I found the results of this internet quiz amusing enough to share. Everyone Is An Iconic Hero In The Streets And Superb...
MONday
Wow. I knew that the community would be supportive; but PB hit their target goal before I could even access the website today!! Impressive! :) Wife has authorized me to donate a specific amoun...
Sunday and Cosplay
Last night, Wife said that she still hadn’t thought of a “good pose” for her picture with David Tennant. As common, more for her to obsess over and freak out about. Thus… when I started showing...
As Expected
When I left for my workout yesterday… I had forgotten that it was the first day of Summer Vacation for most schools. And it was 98 degrees. UFDA! So… every parent dropped their child off at th...
Friday and CosPlay pictures
Started my day with a bizarre nightmare with a clear message. I was working at a HUGE corporate law firm and it sucked! I was repeatedly asked to do seriously unethical things, almost criminal ...
Responses and Days
Hey all: Thank you for your responses on my last entry. Well, thank you to most of you. There was one noter that seemed… how shall I put it? Troll-like. I may be incorrect as to the nature or...
Emotional Mapping
This may be a strange entry. I don’t know how it will go but… for a few different reasons I wanted to just sit and kind of map how my day has been. Just… get an emotional landscape built, kind ...
I suppose it's redundant now.
I just discovered that after typing a Title, you can hit enter to begin writing your entry. I always used TAB but accidentally hit enter and… huh. Cool. Oh… I did do my weekly weigh in this wee...
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.
