Ankle Rehab
Has it really been a month? My ankle is feeling much better, not as well as I’d like, but better still. A few days after the injury, I was walking all right. A week after the injury I was able...
"Romantic" Reflections/Solar Panels/Another Injury
I was thinking about my “romantic” history, and by that I mean all the women I was ever smitten with. I realized something interesting, but I’m not sure what it means. Every woman with whom I w...
People I Could Do Without
I haven’t forgotten about my Prosebox, I just need to get a life so that I have more to update. Right now, my life has taken on a comfortable, if uneventful, routine. If anything disrupts that ...
Health Issues/Cat Crap/Books
I fancy myself to be in really good physical shape. I follow a reasonable diet and exercise religiously, but I have one aspect of my health I can’t get in order, my mouth. I have periodontal di...
The Art of Flirtation
I suck at it. I’ve long been an extra introverted type. On a scale of one to ten, with ten being full time shut in, I’m probably a nine. There are advantages to being an introvert. We think m...
Fur-Kid Photos
When my dad passed away, among the very few possessions of his I wanted was his cats. I lived with my dad for a couple of years when I was unemployed during the recession. During that time, we ...
Fraudulent
I’m familiar with the saying “Fake it until you make it.” I don’t know where that saying originated from or for what reason, but I understand that it’s contemporary application is that new emplo...
Work Grievances
Work last week was aggravating. Last year, the president of my business unit decided to have a beginning of the year meeting at a local resort. I say local, but the resort was about two hours n...
Keeping Things from Falling Apart
I used to think I was invincible. At least, I thought I could make myself stay fit and able bodied by sheer self discipline. I’d see older people who were once strong and active and were now de...
Change of Plans to Not Change Plans
I decided not to apply to that job posting. More accurately, the job posting was removed before I made any decision one way or another. Even if another position appropriate for me becomes avail...
Job change (maybe?)
I’m thinking about a job change. I’ve written about in previous entries how I’d like to get out of Atlanta (generally) and move back to Athens (specifically). At the moment, I have a very entic...
The Childlessness Issue
Last week I was having lunch with some of my coworkers. For a couple of days every month end close, my department orders a lunch for the accountants. It’s a nice perk that kind of compensates h...
Thanksgiving
I suppose Thanksgiving 2015 was a success. It’s weird that last Thursday was the first Thanksgiving without my dad. I think about the times these past few years I had to drive down to Eastman a...
Achievement Unlocked: Blue Belt!
I tested for my blue belt yesterday. Nope, I didn’t make a 100. As a matter of fact, I barely passed. I was kind of shocked to say the least. When I had my review class a week ago, I thought...
Work/Thievery/JJ
My psuedo vacation is almost over. My office has almost finished with renovations, so I’ll be back in a cubicle on Tuesday. I’m going to miss not driving to work every morning. At least I’ve f...
Questionairre
How do you take your tea? I seldom drink tea, but I will admit that I enjoy a glass of sweet iced tea during the summer. I drink hot tea even more rarely, but when I do, I do so because I’m sick...
Practice Retirement
I’ve adored working from home these past two weeks. I love not having to commute. I love being able to wear jeans and t-shirts every day. I love being able to start a crock pot meal in the mor...
Uncharted Territory/Home Office
I’ve been thinking about the future of my love life or lack thereof as the case may be. I realize that many marriages end in bitter divorce, but many don’t. Plenty of couples remained happily m...
Calico/Thankgiving plans/E Reading/Sickness
I need to write, but nothing of grand consequence has happened. Something fantastic on a personal level did happen last weekend. In one of my previous entries, I wrote about one of my Dad’s cat...
Beginning Dating?
I’m wondering if I need to start dating. It’s not so much that I think I should as I worry that not doing it means something worse. All I can think about is Mr. Heckel. Perhaps people today ar...
How I Roll/Home Improvements
I had an eye opening experience in Jiu Jitsu last week. Every Friday, we have a Reflex Development class after which, we roll (Note: Jiu Jitsu practitioners refer to sparring as “rolling”). I d...
Calico
As I mentioned before, my dad bequeathed to me three cats. More accurately, I insisted upon taking them because I didn’t want to be one of those horrible persons who just leaves pets behind blit...
Still a Chump/Getting Choked Out/Cat Relocation
I asked my realty about the price disparity between my condo and all the other condos that were for sale. They sent me a list of what all the other condos were actually selling for in my area. ...
$20,000 Lesson Part 2
I spoke with my sister who’s a realtor, she said there were some circumstances about what happened that seemed kind of odd. I’m going to write down everythings, so I don’t forget. About mid June...
$20,000 Lesson
When I first spoke with my realtor about selling my condo, she understandably wanted to know how much I’d like to price my unit. She brought a list of a couple of condos in my subdivision comple...
Book Description
Hello, my name is Rob, or Robbo, if you will. It was a nickname given to me in college by some very close friends. Well, I jumping on the Prosebox bandwagon. For close to 13 years, I had a journal on Open Diary. Sadly, Open Diary is going offline, and I need to find a new diary site to call home, so here I am. I miss Open Diary already; it was such a community. I hope I can find that same kind of environment here. Cheers.
