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

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

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

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

The middle of December is always an odd time. It’s not quite the heart of winter, but well within the last days of the calendar year. Up north, if we’re quiet, we can see struggling signs of life in the snow. Down south, there’s an almost unnatural stillness. The trees are still green. The sun… Read more

I think it was the third or fourth year Obama was president, Jason and I went for a walk a few days before Christmas to see the lights. We saw token lights from the bigger houses, rarely, but the two and three-bedroom houses in the neighborhood where dark – desperately dark. On occasion, lights peeped… Read more

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
