Don't live the American dream. Live your dream.

    We’re kind of adulting today. USF has just started and Jason has a small mountain of homework and some extra projects that need to be completed by Tuesday, if not earlier.  Since class started for me too, I should have some assignments to grade… but I did all of those last night and sent out… Read more

  • 1/17 – part two

    I don’t like these uneasy hours.     They’re wasted. I can’t really start on a major cleaning project because I know I won’t be finished by the time Jason comes home.    I ran out of supplies to work outside. It’s too early to begin cooking dinner and right now there’s nothing to do in… Read more

    Today… today I devote myself to classwork, straightening the yard, and continuing to clean the house. My original thought today was to go to the gym for a while but wanted to wait for the bug guy.   Because Florida has some huge bugs and I don’t like bugs, Mr. Bug Guy comes out once every… Read more

    Jason isn’t back from his Tampa class yet, so I thought I’d give this another go before I fall asleep. I’m listening to: While it says super intelligence and memory, I’m about ready to just pass out.  It’s gently sapping my energy. Recent impressions of the new year – Retail.    Since I’m in a… Read more

  • 1/14 – unintentional Witcher review

    I am fresh off watching an hour of ten-year-old Zero Punctuation and realized that I haven’t played any of those games.   None.  And that’s okay.    In a way, it’s kind of disappointing and weird since I’ve never played Half-Life or even Peggle, but still… okay.  Maybe I’m a gamer like a writer – in… Read more

    ….  and Sneezles the Cat was never seen again  — except when it was time for Temptation treats. The blessed day has come. The old roof is being torn asunder as we speak to make way for Owens Corning Harbor Blue. I haven’t been outside yet, but I see their shadows as they work.   … Read more

    In a way, I feel like I’ve been self-harming a little bit. Not like mutilation or anything like that. It’s more along the lines of anorexia.    Eating too much.   Not eating enough. Drinking milk, although I know that sets off some very uncomfortable hot flashes.  I endure stress, negative thoughts, and self-doubt which often… Read more

    In my classes, I stress the importance of source verification. This goes way beyond “Did it come from Ebscohost?” Please.   After the vaccination scandal, who can believe what comes from ‘academic’ sources? … although I have to force myself to be a cheerleader for them. Even those who peer-review the peer review sources admit the… Read more

    To be honest, I haven’t felt like writing over the past couple of weeks. That’s not true.    I’ve felt like writing, but haven’t had the willpower or motivation to do anything. I think the reason is because of how I’m reacting to the situations and surroundings presented to me. Just to be clear, I… Read more

  • Shhhh…

    I am being a very good girlfriend right now. Jason is taking his last test this semester so I’ve sequestered myself in the bedroom, door closed, and I’m going to be really quiet while he takes his test.  It’s a proctored exam which apparently means he has to allow Microsoft, Russia, and the government to… Read more
