  • Waiting

    I think I have a natural allergy to waiting. Right now, I’m waiting for my sister to wake up so we can go to the gym and she spoils me with lunch at Chilis (or Applebees or Montana Mikes or Texas Roadhouse) and Starbucks. But, she worked late last night and have never exactly been Read more

  • 36 days

    So, I think, somewhere in the neighborhood of 36 days I will be in Florida for 60. This will be the longest visit to Florida since my Indiana return by some two weeks and change. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit apprehensive. Florida holds some painful and shaming memories for me.  Read more

  • Checking in

    Well… hi. I hope everyone’s doing okay. I’m all right. Believe it or not, I actually voted last Wednesday.   I hang around downtown an embarrassingly amount of time, so I walked myself right into the courthouse and did it….  setting off the metal detector of course. Which, I find amusing.  I set off metal detectors Read more

  • Today..

    Today, I went to see Doc S. She’s the one that prescribes me my mind-altering anti-depressants and sleeping pills. The tall, thin, short-haired blonde and I usually get long.  We certainly don’t agree, but she’s pretty blunt and to the point.   Ever minute of my half an hour session matters. So much so, I tend Read more

  • It’s quiet

    It’s really kind of a sleepy Saturday. Brother and sister are at work.   Mom and Bill are gone for some reason that I don’t really care about. The term has started and everyone is passing, oddly enough.   I think it took me about ten minutes to catch up grading. There’s nothing really going on outside Read more

  • August 30

    I’m kind of unusually pleased with myself today. I did half an hour on the stair stepper at the gym. While I was at Gencon, I found it really alarming that I could walk ten miles, but half a flight of stairs left me breathless.  I was putting off working on those muscle groups because Read more

  • Reflection

    Yeah, I know I didn’t post anything yesterday. I had it in my mind to do so, but I wrote another letter to the editor to the local paper. (In short – dead end street.   Train gets stuck.  Everyone can die.   See previous posts.) My first editorial letter was in June.  Last weekend,  my sister Read more

  • How my day went (8/26)

    It’s kind of odd feeling that the day is pretty much done at 3pm. Technically, if we’re going with that mind frame, the day was over around 1pm when I came in and took a brief nap. It’s starting to feel like I’m skipping over the nights.    It’s probably been a week of nights where Read more

  • How my day went (8/25)

    Last night wasn’t any different than the night before. I was awake about every two to two and a half hours.  I roamed the house sans glasses but with Croc sandals. I ate right around 6am. –   One Light and Fit Strawberry Cheesecake yogurt and a couple of non-fat Eggo waffles. It’s not exactly the Read more

  • What I did today (8/24)

    Well, I got up around 6 am after a fairly restless night. I’m not sure why I couldn’t sleep.    I was fairly exhausted when I got out of the shower. The day before was kind of irritable. I hadn’t made some progress on this game despite my brother’s and mine best efforts. My brother has also Read more
