Last night on my drive home, I started crying. The knowledge of returning to an empty house hit me a bit hard. I pulled myself together in the car and then walked into the house. Nala didn’t e...


It appears that my jury trial for this month is going to be postponed. Which is… kind of okay as it seems that I have more jury trials upcoming. A wise man would be far more proactive and put t...


There are three things I want right now more than anything.... (1) I want my physical pain to stop. What with the being sick… whether it is body pain, illness ache, or the ever present stabbing ...


Personal: Here’s a thing. I’m rather on the fence about having a child. The world is burning, child raising expenses are outpacing affordability by leaps and bounds, it is more likely to have a...


I missed work on Wednesday, February 26th; Thursday, February 27th; Friday, February 28th, Monday, March 2nd; Tuesday, March 3rd… I no longer have a fever… I was going in to work today no matte...


So in an effort to remind myself why what is happening is necessary, instead of pondering the question marks of the future that may make the decisions of today look like poor work… I am reviewing...


Today must be the last day I call in sick to work. It was an important call in today. I slept until 2:00 p.m. and when I awoke it was obvious that the current watchword of my illness is mucus. ...


Blarg. So I think that I’ve finally gotten my fever down to something managelable… possibly even acceptable. But I now have an incredibly productive cough and a sore throat that makes drinking a...


So… Wednesday I was in agonizing pain… but all I did was stay home and rest. Thursday, I had a temperature of 103 all day. Friday, I had a temperature of 103.8. Today, my temperature was 100.4...


So… my fever has broken I think. I mean I am sweating a shit-ton, I am lightheaded, super dizzy, my throat absolutely hurts like HELL, and I don’t feel well at all… but since I have spent the la...


Massively insane fever. As high as 103.8. But hopefully, that is over. I have started sweating a lot which makes me think the fever has broken. Of course, Martha caught some of the sickness. ...


Wed was a pain day as my back pain was at a consistent 7. Today, I woke up with a 101 degree fever. Too cold than too hot… coughing… body pain THROUGH THE ROOF… like I can barely move. So touch...


As everyone should know “that cute little redhead” from the play does mean something to me. Even if just a friend that I find sexually attractive. Which some will recognize as a breakthrough fo...


Would it be horribly sacrilegious and cruel if I were to state that “What I’m giving up for Lent is my marriage”? I’m… trying not to be irresponsible with my money. Now is NOT a time to be free ...


I had originally intended to come here and write about the concepts I was considering. How, right now anyway, life is reaching a somewhat numb equilibrium. Martha is expected to get approved fo...


So… this is going to be out of order. I’ll talk about the weekend, about Sunday, about all sorts of stuff. But I’m going to be even more “free form” then usual. So just sit back, enjoy the rid...


So… Dungeons and Dragons has been on my calendar (and thus the House calendar) for over a week. So… Martha didn’t have class today and WHEN THE SUN WAS OUT the weather was actually supposed to be...


Yeah, yeah. This is me being prolific. I went and read everybody’s stuff. You know what? I’m tired. I was tired through today and I think I leapt into the writing after all the busy of this m...


Today is one of those days where I go back to the Old way of writing in this. You see… what I’ve tried to do lately is focus on reading rather than writing. Granted, my prolific writing and my ...


As I got home last night, the temperature began to drop considerably. Like… super duper cold. And I was thinking about how much I was going to need to put on in order to walk Nala and how I was...


Last night, I got home. Martha wasn’t home but not much of a surprise. Though for the second time in as many days; she leaves the dog home alone and doesn’t think to dog proof or put Nala in he...


Today has been a heavy Animal Meme Day. Lots of cute floofs. Not even because the day was so rough in court. That isn’t… that big of an issue. But some days… just need extra floofs. Because ...


So… I’m not a huge fan of Meyers Briggs because there are two of the “personality traits” that are never consistent with me. The first one is Introvert/Extrovert. I am an Ambivert. Some days, I...


As my entries of late… or of always… are rarely happy or hopeful… I wanted to put something up here to show that YES, there are still things I’m looking forward to and things that are happy momen...


Today feels like an important day in history. Like some battle of something. I know it is President’s Day but… I just get the feeling it is something bigger. 1801 Thomas Jefferson is elected th...
