Don't live the American dream. Live your dream.

  • September 12th

    Unlike my sister,  I don’t tend to get massive migraines. –  When she gets them, my little sis actually calls in sick and hides under the covers for about eight to ten hours.     I know it sounds silly, but she does. And, just as a reminder of what she goes through, I got one today.… 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

  • Grilled Cheese Rambling

    I used to really like grilled cheese – back in the day before saturated fat and carbohydrates existed.  I liked it with just a little butter on both sides, toast the bread in the skillet until the full fat Kraft cheese became really melty, and maybe a little scorched.  I think a little burning gave… Read more

  • Just Cheese

    These kind of days bother me a little bit. I went off with my brother this morning and a fair chunk of the afternoon.    Both of us got kind of red – nothing that my freckles can’t handle – and we got rained on for about fifteen minutes. We came home and I ran out… Read more

  • When I grow up…

    When you’re a child, adults tend to ask stupid questions.   The most notable is “What do you want to be when you grow up?” This is really a toxic question. The child doesn’t know what she wants to be.   There’s a world of possibilities.  The child knows practically nothing of what the future holds, her… 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
