    Sometimes I wonder if my Prozac dosage didn’t change since I’ve been here. Certainly, there’s quite a bit of difference between here and Indiana.  Both good and bad.   But, I guess in Florida I’m adulting more than in Indiana.     It’s easier to be wise and beneficial when I don’t feel that I have as… Read more

    I feel really bad for the cat, Sneezles. There’s been this plumber, Julio, here since about 9:30. He’s doing his job with the drills and banging and whatever to replace some pipes in the wall.    That’s all well and good, but he’s been doing so for two and a half hours.    I imagine… Read more

  • The Roofers Three

    Much like Scrooge, I’ve been visited by three spirits. – I refer to the roof salesmen as spirits because I’m not sure how I’m going to conjure the money, but whatevers, right?   It needs to be done. The first guy was named Jared from Company A. – Out of the three, he was the best… Read more

    I’m going a little crazy today. Because of the rain, I didn’t leave the property yesterday.   Today, the cold front is passing by.   There’s still a chance of rain, but I’m going to head out here in a little bit.  I just can’t help it. I need a project to work on. Writing, what I… Read more

    Hard start this morning. There’s stuff I want to do this morning, but I can’t seem to get the body to move.    Lack of self-discipline, I guess.  I need to get better. Yesterday evening, our time together was spoiled by the roof thing.  Or, my precisely, the money thing.   I can really understand how… Read more

    About this time tomorrow morning…. tomorrow morning as in AM…  I will be on a flight headed to Tampa.  Or, at least, sitting on a plan that’s on its way to Tampa. In a way, this is a good thing. Although Sunday is supposed to be nice and in the 50s somewhere, it’s dropping into… Read more

  • Returning to Florida – yet again

    Next Sunday, November 10th, I will be returning to Florida yet again for three months.   Well, four months.   I won’t be back on home soil until the last day of March.  Instead, I’ll have sand underneath my feet that don’t grow vegetables. But, at the same time, I’m certainly dodging the snow and temperatures dropping… Read more

    The unexpected term from Hades ended yesterday. Thank goodness. I felt the students were trying to drain my very soul. There were just so many students at need.  By need, I mean “I’m special.”  “I can’t do this.” “I suck.” “Why can’t I do this my way.” Apparently, there was at least two pregnant, one… Read more

    …   I just want to say wow. My last post got hits from Australia, India, and the U.S. That is just awesome. You like me.   You really really like me. —  Cliche, yeah, but it helps bring some sort of validation to my life.   Thanks. Okay, moving on… I’ve had this mantra running through my… Read more

  • 9/9

    It’s getting kinda late, but I wanted to put out something since I haven’t for a while. Life has been a bit busy — especially since little bro and sister have alternate days off.  Sunday for one..   Monday for the other… Tuesday….  I don’t have a day to myself until Thursday. Which is okay.  I’m… Read more
