Forty Five Second Entry in Book Six: Trying to Hold On 2019

The new season has officially arrived. One could say that the 30 degree weather and reports of “likely snow” are the proof in that pudding but the truly more powerful proof is that I could not sleep last night. Not a wink.

So, I figured fuck it. Went in to work early. I have to draft and file on 6 different children in need of help. ALL because of methed parents. But then… that’s my day. And the district associate judge isn’t here tomorrow. And Wednesday is a blank page on my calendar. And Thursday looks to be remarkably small for a Magistrate day. And Friday is another blank page on my calendar. Of course next week will be busy busy busy. But.... kind of glad that Fate let the week between Jury Trials be an easy looking one. A shame that I came in so early!

I’ll admit I am giving serious thought to going Paid Membership to Tinder. I have downloaded the app… but have NOT had any messages. It IS good to see that there are literally dozens of people that are possible… but all of them back in Des Moines. So, it would be a relationship of 188 miles. lol. Definitely something to consider. But as things are right now? I’ll just keep putting one foot in front of the other. I mean, it isn’t like my days are going to get more free time in the next few weeks! My schedule is basically
Monday: Work, Play Practice, Home by 8 p.m.; cooking and cleaning then sleep.
Tuesday: Work, Play Practice, Home by 8 p.m.; cooking and cleaning then sleep.
