COVID Impressions
It is interesting. I hear a lot of people essentially screaming, “I AM TIRED OF TALKING ABOUT COVID!” And I get it. A meme I like says, “This month has been a hell of a decade!” We’re all loo...
Last Day of March
Good News: One of the biggest professional worries we were facing stems from timing. According to the laws of the Nation and the State; there are specific deadlines required in any and all crim...
Bugger
Can’t sleep. That is annoying. Bah! On the good news front: official “work from home” order. Which is helping me really set up a nice Home Office. Not to mention gives me the opportunity to...
Call It
Call me a broken record, but I’m seriously reconsidering some things. The hate mail I was talking about? Is because I live in an Agriculture State so that the laws specifically treat Livestock N...
Here's an Update
It is late… actually, not really but my sense of time lately is totally fucked up so for me- I’m saying it is late. After an entire week of telling my boss that we should all be working from home...
On The Law Generally
I know that Red State Sentiments should stop surprising me. I mean, I have lived in either Iowa or Nebraska since 1984. My father is a passionate die-hard conservative. My brother is a liberta...
Staving Off
Okay… shit. Staving off depression is kind of hard in these times. Our country is being run by addle-brained homunculi who are about fifteen days away from announcing compulsory service in the ...
REPLY ALL
When I was working warehouse jobs and retail, I always had a sneaking suspicion that OSHA was bullshit. I mean… Best Buy would make me single-handedly load/unload the heaviest shit Appliances so...
What The Douche?
Okay… sometimes, things are stupid as hell. Truthfully. Our Governor and our Emergency Management Department have released a really nicely worded declaration that if as many people work from ho...
I don't get it
So, I spent the weekend in an area with confirmed COVID19 cases. My father was experiencing shortness of breath. My immune system sucks and I constantly have breathing issues as it is. In fact, I...
In Response
Lately there have been a few entries that inspired many similar notes. To respond to those notes individually with the same response is a possibility but I figured an entry covering those matter...
The Way It Goes
So… things with/at the parents has been okay. But as is always the case… when my dad drinks, he gets… belligerent. And insensitive. This time, Mom very specifically and very pointedly told me ...
Nostalgia
Perhaps this is a weird time to feel this but… I am at my parents house, sleeping in what was at one time my bedroom. It doesn’t look the same, of course. All new furniture, new paint, even new...
How?!
So, I wasn’t going to write today. I figured… I’m working from home… I’ve got puppy and video games. I have to get ready to go visit my parents. I’ll have plenty of things to occupy my time. ...
A Common Complaint?
My goodness. I am very tired. Like falling asleep in my office chair tired. And yet… I really want and need to actually accomplish things when I get home tonight. Like… I need to empty the di...
Exhausted
So, something that is happening that my conspiracy obsessed, bullshit artist worshiping, idiotic as fuck friends and family aren’t capable of understanding… because of the current health scare, s...
20/20
Well, 20/20 was an American television newsmagazine broadcast on ABC. The program was designed similarly to CBS’s 60 Minutes in that it features in-depth story packages, although it focuses more ...
Today (Part One)
Right before I left work last night, my boss started to discuss how he thinks all of this “social distancing” and “self-quarantine” will be used by The State to shut down certain “under performin...
"On Tinder and Desirability" or PART TWO of Today
I said I’d circle back around to “I’m still feeling… in quite the need to feel… desirable.” This is something that I’ve been thinking about this weekend because the experience is so… different a...
Corona, Government, Home, and More (PART ONE)
Even in a state with a population as small and as scattered as our little state, the spread of the disease can be seen for the legitimate emergency it is. When confirmed cases were first announc...
Curious
Today has been a day of mostly wishing time away. A terrible thing to do as life is only ever what we make of it and simply existing is quite far from the impact I want my life to have before it...
Currently
Last night, I made food and had a healthy dinner. Gave Nala a big walk (her second as Martha had given her a walk as well). I really thought Nala would have slept. But she woke me up at 3 to g...
Aggressive Angry Eyeroll
My Trumpeter Cousin who has been aggressively promoting the President’s bullshit conspiracies about COVID-19. He just said, “Trump should cancel the 2020 election due to Coronavirus. THEN the cu...
Sleeps
Nala is not enjoying the new situation. She woke me up repeatedly last night with whining. I’d get out of bed, take her outside, and she’d simply sit on the porch looking out into the distance,...
Grumble
This is me grumbling. Last night, I helped Martha move out. She still has things here and there are still things in this house that (even if she left them here and moved out of State) I would pr...
Book Description
I was 20 when I first started taking pills that let me see the world with a little less pain. A few months after that, I met a woman that I thought was beautiful and interesting. When I was 26, I proposed. We married when I was 27 and moved to Omaha. That is where our marriage ABSOLUTELY fell apart. That was 2011. For the last many years; I had been trying to salvage the marriage. At the end of 2019, I told my wife that we needed to separate. This year we file, she moves out, and I try to figure out how to get my shit sorted.
