This year has been particularly difficult on my mom. She’s homebound, probably in some pain, and can’t do yard work or do a garden, which some of her favorite things in the world. After everything and yadda yadda yadda, I’m glad she’s still with me, despite how ornery she is. I know she’s ornery. It Read more

Hey lolly lolly, a new term started. I’m monitoring ENGL102, which is a basic class, one step up from very basic, but students are required to take it. It’s a small paycheck, but it’s a paycheck. A while back, this college started to attach co-instructors to the basic classes. At first, I wasn’t overly thrilled. Read more

Yes, I have returned to Indiana from Florida and, gee, do I feel civilized. I had a doctor appointment on Monday, had one today, and have one scheduled for Friday. Next week is the cancer doctor and some other doctor… I forget. In June, I have a new foot doctor to see somewhere I’ve never Read more

There’s this odd phenomena happening. From my limited observations, this could be a global issue. All I know is that it has happened in my home town, surrounding towns, and even in Florida. I think this happens when a bunch of people gather who have to much time, money, and misplaced good intentions. I really Read more

Since coming to Florida, I’m guessing that I’ve walked between five and 13-ish miles a day, save the one day that it was raining and a couple of days I stayed in to catch up on work. – My mileage may vary, as I still can’t find the wire to charge the Fitbit, but today’s Read more

In the House, we were told comparison was a sin. It was sin to compare what I have to what someone else has, to the way she or he looks, or even to how they act or behavior. I think the running theory was that the girls in the House needed to be happy with Read more

I declare today to be no socks day. In my Flordian observations, I’ve noticed a distinct lack of socks. This is the land of year-long flip-flops and sandals. Socks are expressly forbidden. They’re not found on the feet of those who were the painful to look at high heel sandals of those who visit the Read more

Well, it’s official. I’m flying back on March 18th. This trip will be a little longer than the first – 6 weeks instead of 4. I suppose this is a step in the right direction. Still, makes me nervous. The weather, while temped tossed, is changing for the better in Indiana. From where I am, Read more

It’s that time of month again. – The once every eight-ish weeks when one college term ends, there’s a two second breath of air, and the next term begins. The past two weeks, I’ve type so much that the gel on my fingertips have chipped off. Last week, it was the rough draft. Last night, Read more

Again, I was back at the gym. Instead of talking to a stranger, I was talking to an older woman. I think her name was Janet (Janice?) She’s short with white hair. Great personality and a booming voice that’s fit for a retired kindergarten teacher… which is what she is. I think she told me Read more
