Forty Five Second Entry
The new season has officially arrived. One could say that the 30 degree weather and reports of “likely snow” are the proof in that pudding but the truly more powerful proof is that I could not s...
The first line is the title
Let’s call this a drunkard’s lament. This will be a very quick, very raw entry. I would apologize as I tend to attempt (for the most part) a kind of professional decorum here. But some things are...
This
Public entry to say… Jury Trial is done. Convicted. So we did a good job. However, I likely have a jury trial on November 7th, too. So… work is never done, crime continues. I will say this, ...
You Can't Push It Under Ground
Time is running out. After a hell of a week last week and a hell of a week in front of me, on Friday morning I woke up and decided “Nope.” Not going to be “awake.” So I slept through most of Fr...
Bad Timing
Here’s something. So as you know I’ve been spending a lot of time neck-deep in the kind of truly awful shit that can destroy people. I am of course talking about Child Abuse, Child Neglect, Chil...
A Personal Issue
Well, sometimes things can go from Zero to One Hundred. My day got super busy. Phone calls, investigations, plea deals, trial dates, filing charges… very busy. And so there were some things I n...
Twelve Second Entry
I just read, don’t ask why, the BBC coverage of the Minnesota Trump Rally. The pressing question the BBC was investigating is how do Trump supporters feel about the impeachment issue? In a move...
Story Bah
Bah. I can’t promise anything because whenever I have a genuine intent to express myself creatively, something happens and I’m prohibited from the very expression I was attempting. That being sa...
A Kettle of Fish
Here’s a kettle of fish: Today is a rare, strange, and bizarre Monday for work. Typically, I would have Juvenile Court as last week there was no Juvenile Court and going more than two weeks betw...
Meme-splosion
Because of how my day is right now… with positives but negatives; with good news to celebrate but the rapidly freezing weather causing my body pain… I figure it is time for a meme-splosion. Obvs...
Nice, Not, News
SO: Some nice things? EDITED AT NOON Extra good thing? Wife just got back her first Chemistry test. Chemistry being the class she often spends hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and ...
Feeling Odd
I feel odd. In need of connection, but not wanting to work toward it. For example, there are now weeks of unread bookmarks I have here in Prosebox and yet… I can’t concentrate to read any. I h...
Long Series of Involved Dreams
This morning/last night… I had many dreams, all of which stayed with me, all of which were very vivid. Allow me to attempt to describe them: The dream started as one of my recurring dreams often...
Meme: When You're Both
When you’re both of these people
Canines and Supreme Courts
Nala Last Night: So it must be said that with my current schedule, it has been incredibly difficult to give Nala a walk. I leave the house at 7:30 and arrive home between 5 and 6. Play practice...
Political Meme
So… Trump has just screamed (YET AGAIN) that he is too invested in his own businesses to care about America. Trump Tower Istanbul is more important than supporting the Kurds who have been instru...
In Brief
Can’t go over everything that’s been going on; but I’ve been super busy. October is a big Jury Trial Month for me. I also have Couple’s Counseling monthly and Individual Therapy weekly. I have pl...
Just bitching
Ugh. I have two days off from play practice every week. Friday and Saturday. I have two days off from work every week. Saturday and Sunday. But I have couple’s counseling tomorrow. And home-ca...
Two More Memes... for the lolz
A Meme
Yes, I’ve had this conversation. Multiple times. Honestly. I still don’t understand why a woman shorter than I would go to such great lengths to explain why she would “never date a man shorter...
Three Things Right Away
Item One: I am a little worried that my boss and I are currently facing our first considerable approach differences. I know it won’t explode into a big argument but I do worry that it may cause ...
Painful Eye Roll
New Iowa Law Issue: Apparently, the courts have now ruled Disorderly Conduct to be unconstitutional. Seriously. The court said “creating a distressing nuisance or annoyance is far too focused o...
Two Things
There are really only two things that matter today. One of them won’t be part of my story until after the lunch hour. FIRST THING: I did get the part in the play that I expected to. The star ro...
Things
(1) Life isn’t awesome. (2) This weekend’s professional communications make my week murky at best (3) The world is… messed up. (4) But I’m excited to meet the cast of the play tonight and see whi...
9/30/2019
I know I’m an adult now with adult responsibilities and adult concerns… but I miss the days when everyone would have their AIM or MSN Messenger open. I miss talking with people. I especially m...
Book Description
This will now be my sixth year writing in Prosebox. I started as a Law Student considering Divorce… and now I’m a Government Attorney who owns a house going to marriage counseling. After 6 consecutive years of “Looking for something new or better” this year, I’m just trying to hold on to what I’ve got. I like my job. I like my community. I like my house. I’m just trying to hold on to all of it and make sure I keep things going.
