    Change of plans. I’m not going to the gym today.   Rather, I’m going to spend the day doing house and yard work.  My right leg is still feeling pretty spongy.   I’ve got to walk about 45 minutes (one way) to get to the gym.   I’m also feeling kind of sunburnt.  I didn’t use sunblock on Read more

    I’m trying something different. I’m sitting g outside, in the dark.  There’s a firetruck wailing in the background.  Fish jumping in the bay.  Waiting for Jason to get out of class. Normally, I’d be walking around while waiting for him to get out of class.  But, I’ve pushed myself a bit today.  According to pokemon Read more

    I made yesterday more difficult than it needed to be. We started roaming — which is good.   We just drive around until we hit a place or something comes to mind.   It’s not planned, but kind of like going on a explore mission in some game.    We get bonus points by covering a lot Read more

    Happy New Year’s Eve. Congratulations –  We’re under 24 hours away from putting up the 2019 calendar – somehow.   It’s been a pretty crazy year. Yeh, but it’s over. Let the new craziness begin! Yesterday was kind of a fruit loop. In the morning, the boy’s mother and step-dad stopped to visit. Apparently, the Sunday Read more

    Well, I think this trip is going better than last time. It’s not just going to TSO, although that was great.   It’s the actions of the boy. He seems more self-assured and confident.  Visiting his brother’s half a million dollar house didn’t leave him jealous goblin green.  I mean, of course, we’re a bit envious, Read more

    I passed through Macy’s last night while chasing down a Snover. (Yeah, yeah.   I play Pokemon Go.  So what?) Anyway, I saw these black sequin boots.  From toe tip to high heel to knees, they were nothing but plastic black sequins.   You know what I’m talking about, right?   It’s not beads, but flat plastic disks.  Read more

    It’s been a few days since I wrote. Hi. Can’t believe Christmas is almost here. That’s crazy.   It really is. I’m pretty much stuck here for the next couple of days.   When the weatherman says it’s going to be rainy and “miserable,” that’s a good time to stay inside… although I’d still rather go to Read more

    There’s nothing wrong with having an off day, is there? Silly question, I know.  I know it’s okay, but I always wonder if it’s okay. Well, if it’s okay for – me – to have an off day. Lee’s visit has left fairly melancholy. While this is a somewhat familiar mindstate at home, this is Read more

    Here I sit, like a twit, looking at this piece of shi… Sadly, I can’t claim authorship of that little rhyme. That was masterfully penned by someone whose name I have totally forgotten. I remember that I worked with her for over ten years.   I actually helped get her hired on – not because I Read more

    Back in Florida. This is my third whole day. Saturday was my first, which we ran around going places and to a park. On Sunday, we went to Wagon Wheel, visited the Awesome Jean, and went to another park. I’m going to go to a lot of parks while I’m here and I’m a-okay with Read more
