Fucking Telling
So, here is something that says EVERYTHING about my marriage. Wife asked if counseling tomorrow will be “the same as always”. Uh… you mean where I say that I am furious and miserable in a marr...
8/2 PIX
So, you want a real entry go back one. You want an entry where I post a plethora of Chive Bullshit, stay on this one. I just got finished with a meeting of a Sexual Assault “survivor” I use the...
8/2
There may be multiple posts today. On Wednesday, my typically high-pitched and irritating voice settled into a scratchy, rough, sexy baritone. If it weren’t for.. y’know.... throat pain and bein...
Twitter-Sized: Super Brief
The Weird Al Concert was awesome. My illness has progressed to the point where after court today I am likely to go home. But that still doesn’t spare me the “before you sit down” morning items… l...
Kick to the Groin
Today started… ugh. Before I sat down… reports of Domestic Violence where Husband and Wife were mutually beating the shit out of each other. As I sit down… alert that I may have to cover a trial ...
Likely TMI
Today is Juvenile Court Day so my morning is busy af. I have stuff to say but we’ll see if I can say it when I get back. Back for my “in between hearings” break and I can feel my stomach eating ...
Try for a Third!
HAhaHA! My sense of time has been all jacked up so this could be a straight up LIE but.... I think I haven’t done 3 entries in one day in many months! BUT my boss and our victim witness coordina...
CNN Opinion Piece
I haven’t done this in a while. I tend not to anymore. But I am going to copy and paste a CNN article I expect will be quite controversial. Hell, simply having a title that says “CNN” will att...
Twitter Sized: First Three Minutes
All envy my job and despair (total sarcasm) AS I SIT DOWN AT MY DESK (1) Report of an incoming statutory rape case because a 22 year old had sex with his 15 year old girlfriend. Yeah, I’m okay c...
Waiting
Today starts off feeling like a “blah” semi-nothing day. Which creates anxiety because whenever you feel “blah” there usually comes something in this job to turn it into FUCK! So I’m in a “blah...
Incongruity
Some interesting observations for today: (1) Action vs. Emotion Last night, Wife actually spent time in the basement! Apparently, she spent large parts of the day down there with Nala because Na...
Dive Right In
I had a really tough time sleeping last night. I’d get two hours, then wake up. Repeat that pattern from midnight until 6. But then at a little after 6:40; I discovered my wife being snuggly?!...
Hooooooo Bou
I feel tempted to write a preface or a soliloquy or something more artful but at present I haven’t the time. Weekend was… acceptable. I noticed some strong, real, definite changes in Wife. But ...
On The Simmering Waves (Net Pic Heavy)
I start today with feelings of worry, apprehension, and concern. The temperatures are expected to hit triple digits. Heat Index up to over 110 degrees Fahrenheit. And already the difference in ...
Brain Fried
I made a whoopsie. I pushed so hard because of this morning’s clusterfuck of shittery that I got to three o’clock, all stressed and depressed and NOT looking forward to the very dark shit coming...
Surveys
Last night was.... fairly typical. Got home from work. Wife was watching North Woods Law (so, not horror for a change). We took the dog for a walk. Came home and ate dinner. I excused myself...
167 Days Until 2020
After work was… mostly typical. Got home, Wife was watching a horror movie (Intruders) but had at least unpacked and done some laundry. I changed clothes and when the movie was finished; we look...
Returning to Work
Oooooooooookay beautiful boys and girls. We have returned to the Land Locked State of Iowa and I’m playing a spot of catch up with Work, Prosebox, Grocery Shopping, and Life Not On Vacation, lol...
Starting the Con
Oooooooooookay beautiful boys and girls. We have returned to the Land Locked State of Iowa and I’m playing a spot of catch up with Work, Prosebox, Grocery Shopping, and Life Not On Vacation, lol...
Finishing Hawaii
Oooooooooookay beautiful boys and girls. We have returned to the Land Locked State of Iowa and I’m playing a spot of catch up with Work, Prosebox, Grocery Shopping, and Life Not On Vacation, lol...
Babs
I finally drifted off to sleep sometime after Hawai’i 6 a.m. When I awoke, the waves outside were… angry. The wind was high. In fact, Hurricane Barbara is kicking up a LOT of wind so there is ...
The Last Bit
In Iowa, I’m writing this at around 7:00 a.m. In Hawai’i, it is 2:00 a.m. I can’t sleep. So, here are my notes on the last few days. On Saturday, I decided that Wife would get until Noon to fi...
At The Corner
This entry is written at the corner of Intoxicated and Enlightened. Traditionally, I do an EXCELLENT job of not writing when I may not remember what I wrote. It has happened. It even happened...
Otra Recap
Time Zones and Day Reviews are interesting. From one perspective, Tuesday was a “travel day.” Except… perspectives and relative time through space play with it. From one perspective: Tuesday wa...
Trippingly Along
I started this almost immediately after I finished my last entry because… that’s who I am? I mean… I’m a documenter and a writer and a little obsessed with stories whether my own or someone else...
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.
