Before I Go
So, I think the honest truth is… I will likely be checking work e-mail and prosebox and facebook and instagram on my vacation. That’s… probably just expected. After all, Wife (I know) will be c...
A bit of a stopgap
F.O. access entry will be released at some point today. I woke up with a big bump on my forehead and no idea how it got there. So… that’s interesting. But I also woke up with the puppy on the be...
I'm your
Wanted to start today with a picture of my puppy. Here’s Nala in her sleep position dubbed Puppy Doughnut! I won’t do a detailed recap of last night. It’s all pretty much the standard marks. C...
TWITTER: Statement
Sometimes the stupidest thing can mean the most.
My Resentment (Read when bored and have free time, lol)
I know I have an issue with resentment in my marriage; that’s pretty obvious at this point. After all, my Wife is in many ways like a child despite being roughly 11 months away from turning 40. ...
Vacation Or Something Else
I feel very off my game of late. I’m encouraged to chalk it up to the construction and that may be part of the reason. It is hard to feel “settled” or “in a groove” when 80% of the office is no...
Samson: EDITED
EDIT MARKED AT BOTTOM I got my haircut and shaved my face. Images will be provided when available. In a lot of ways it is a… different experience. I feel lighter and younger… I hadn’t shaved my...
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
For the first official day of summer, it is uncharacteristically dark outside. Dark and rainy. More like a spring day. But then… that works, doesn’t it? As we fuck up the world, the world fin...
On Beyond Zebra
Honestly, title was selected for reasons beyond my comprehension. Though I often do that, and I like it. I sit down… look at the blank page… select a title based on whatever is going through my...
The Expectation Is Flow
Back at work. 8:03 a.m. In the hallway? Red cling wrap covers the carpets to minimize dust and debris clean up. At each end of the hallway? A giant industrial emergency air conditioner. In ...
3 Countries: EDITED
EDIT: I put the edit at the beginning just in case anyone has read this and just wanted to quick see what was added. After doing some independent research, my Dad has informed us that he thinks ...
Celebrate Relentlessness
Oh, dreams. “All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous m...
More Marital
I don’t know if this is just venting or if perhaps my statements might be able to help others who experience similar concepts. Obviously, I would hope for the latter but ultimately… I don’t get ...
Compassion and Comparison
Sometimes, the hardest thing in the world is to accept that what you are going through is important. Maybe that’s just me? I read some truly terrible things in this job. A 7 year old child rou...
Trauma
It is no surprise that once you’ve experienced something traumatic, it readjusts your expectations. If you experience the same trauma over a long enough period, that simply becomes your reality....
PS4
Friends: Back from conference. Will write more later. Looking forward to catching up, responding to notes, and getting work done. One thing I was excited about after the E3 presentations this yea...
Short Nothings
(1) I am writing this from my phone and I bloody HATE typing on my phone! I mean, don’t get me wrong… I prefer receiving texts to phone calls… but typing? Whether autocorrect or my own fat thum...
Keanu
Random thing I am sharing here because sharing it on Facebook would somehow make it “more of a controversy”. Element: Keanu Reeves recently has been on social media being applauded for photos whe...
In the Meantime (The last many days) REVISED
Well… I was sick. Still am. Started this in the office on a Saturday trying to catch up with some work before heading to a work Conference on Sunday. See, the timing on it all sounds fishy but...
A Five Facts, Welcome DE
I did not go home this afternoon. I stayed at the office and did work. But I had my lights off and no tie on so… that’s kind of like going home, right? I am likely to pull out of here early. A...
Mental Health, Illness and NSFW
Yesterday when I went home… I knew I was sick. It wasn’t just the heat. SO I stayed home and worked with the dog while Wife went to go workout. Some positives some negatives. Let me post the ...
Sideshow Bob Rake Sound
After an incredibly busy day of work on Monday (seriously, I was in court from 8:30 a.m. to like 3:30 and then a full hour of paperwork!) I left work and went to Caseys. My car was THIRSTY! And...
June: Resolution Check
It is a Monday, June 3rd… so this isn’t done on the 1st as I normally would prefer. Also, this is a Juvenile Court Monday and a Dog Training Monday… so I’m up to my eyeballs busy from about 8 a....
The Power of Dreams and More
The human mind is a strange and dangerous thing. Yesterday morning, I had a dream where when I awoke? I felt better in general. As though my dream had given me an opportunity to repair somethi...
SoOoO Much to Say Part 7
Alright y’all… between the Memorial Day Weekend and Work keeping me busy… this is kind of all being done at once. SO… I separated it out into various portions to hopefully make it easier to read...
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.
