One in NoJoMo 2017

Introduction. Why am I doing this, and how long have I been doing it? This is year eight. Why am I doing it? Well, because it’s something that settles my brain, and gets me ready for the end o...

Intro in NoJoMo 2017

Yes, I am planning to write this November. Yes, I have plenty of writing topics, largely due to my wife’s efforts. I am weeding through, and trying to decide which ones I’ll use. Definite targe...

20 in Summer 2017

So, yes, this is the last post of this writing streak. My mother came down yesterday with presents/wishes/etc.. After showing her the rooftop party area of our building, we went to Doumar’s for ...

Winding down to the end, here. Tomorrow will be free-write, so I’ll use one of my last remaining prompts. The unused ones, including the list I can’t seem to concentrate on to write. Do you belie...

18 in Summer 2017

As the morning progresses, I get to spend the day dealing with the Virginia Employment Commission who’ve, for whatever reason, frozen my account with them. Probably going to have to make a trip t...

17 in Summer 2017

I really can’t get motivated to write one of my prompts, so today is free write. Made some progress yesterday in the employment hunt.  Today’s nearly $700 after-tax payment for health insurance s...

15B in Summer 2017

  I do have to do an extra entry, still, to get back on track.  So I’m going to recycle a survey from 2012.   Deleting the questions that were OD-specific. Old stuff below, then I’ll do the same ...

15 in Summer 2017

I’m not really feeling any of my prompts this morning.  Try to re-sample something I wrote on this date in the past, and there’s not a lot. 08/15/2011 - 8/15/2011 Amazon’s “Gold Box” recommended...

14 in Summer 2017

Some busy things this week. Fingers-crossed that there’ll be something promising for work. I need to make a phone call after I got an odd update on Saturday about something I’d applied for back...

13 in Summer 2017

Yesterday was bad. A lot of the day I spent watching coverage of what was going on in Charlottesville. (How does Chrome’s inline spell-check think that I misspelled that?) It doesn’t matter, thou...

12 in Summer 2017

Woke up too early this morning. One of the top stories on the local news was this. That they’re pulling out shows what a failure the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act is. One of my fr...

11 in Summer 2017

I meant to go look for old things to write about this morning. I slept oddly last night, and am worried about email nonsense I haven’t addressed since probably 2005. When I logged on to Facebook ...

10 in Summer 2017

Guilty admission, I’m starting on this the day before. I saw a story about where I used to be, and it looks like that maybe, they were looking for any excuse to shed people like me. I may have ...

09 in Summer 2017

Not a lot going on, just a waiting game on things. Today’s big thing is getting a Tysabri recharge, the first since I got cast aside from my position. The timing isn’t working out exactly as I w...

08 in Summer 2017

Because eight is great!!1! On the other hand, my CSS skills, notsomuch. Things are moving somewhat. The weather is nasty, but at least the windows didn’t leak this time. So many different path...

07 in Summer 2017

Fourteen more to write for this round. I still owe one from my two days’ late start. I keep getting sidetracked by other things when it comes to sitting down to write this entry. An acquaintanc...

06 in Summer 2017

It’s Sunday morning. I have several prompts from which I could have chosen, but I went investigating back through old writings to find something more appealing. That probably wasn’t a good idea...

05 in Summer 2017

Slept oddly after falling asleep before 2300. But up now, water, pill case filled, etc.. It’s pretty sad when a highlight involves pouring pills from the bottle, and getting exactly the number yo...


August 04, 2017

04 in Summer 2017

Writing, wondering what’s going to happen next. Things can seem to move at a snail’s pace during the summer if your livelihood is dependent upon government action. This is a tough few weeks, anyw...

03 in Summer 2017

I meant to use this one earlier, but I accidentally used the wrong one.  Three things was supposed to go on the third. shrug I fuck things up from time to time.  My brain is scarred or something....

Two in Summer 2017

Yesterday morning’s hopefulness has been replaced with worry after not hearing anything from the promising opportunity yesterday. I’m still pretty confident, though, even if that one doesn’t co...

One in Summer 2017

So, new month, same issues. Very disappointed my Tysabri infusion isn’t until next week. I’m exhausted, and need a recharge. Very positive conversation yesterday about work pursuit. We’ll see w...

31 in Summer 2017

Phone interview this afternoon. We’ll see how it goes. The position looks eerily-similar to the one I took in the summer of 2007. If I could get back to that money with those benefits, I’d be ...

29 in Summer 2017

Yesterday was spent dealing with progress on the job search, and dealing with my rebelling body. The next Tysabri does is only eleven days away, but it feels like an eternity. It doesn’t make a ...

28B in Summer 2017

I started two days late, so I’ll write more. My wife is off doing something or the other, and I’m waiting on calls about my many job applications, so I’ll do a second entry for today. I don’t hav...
