after thoughts

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

  • I’ve been hesitant to post here. Over a month ago, “apparently,” something I posted was misinterpreted. That tricked down to my mom who had a difficult conversation with Jason. Then, he told me and we got into an argument which lead to him doing something that upset me for weeks. It was just a mess. Read more

    One step forward. Two steps back. On Valentine’s Day, Jason was fired from his federal job. This was the golden ring job. It was one, after he passed the year-long training period, that he would keep until his retirement. It offered promotions, annual job raises, and inflation adjustments in addition to those raises. It was Read more

    What’s going on with Jee Rogan and the Canadian Honk fest is pretty mild compared to what we’ve gone through the past couple of years. It’s refreshing and actually feels more like what the news should be for some reason. It’s not really about Covid. Who knew something like this could still exist. The Rogan Read more

    Good news. I finally had another positive change on the house although it cost me. I almost said ‘cost me dearly,’ but I didn’t have to shed blood or broker a deal with the devil. So, it just cost me. The ceilings in the living room and kitchen are now painted and crack-free. The peeling Read more

    For New Year’s Day, I had the good fortune to be by the ocean. There were hundreds of people around. It does the heart good. Honestly, it does. While I prefer an empty beach, the people demonstrated how they’re not afraid of Covid and, by a more important extension, the government. There were actually a Read more

    It’s so easy to fall off the wagon. I need to hop back on that thing. Maybe it was just the holidays or whatever. Jason has had a day off here and there which kind of threw me off. Mostly, it’s depression. I’ve felt fairly helpless for the past couple of weeks. It doesn’t help Read more

    What does it matter? Saddy paced in her room. Her blue-green eyes darted out the window, to the walls, to the floor. She tugged a long strand of strawberry red hair that hung down her face while biting her lip. Surely, Aldren wouldn’t have found another. He wouldn’t have fallen for another, for Gabs. Would Read more

    Morning came. Saddy scattered the fire prepared the horse for the multi-day return trip. Aldren lazily woke and watched before finding a ration bar for breakfast. From the distance, the being that once was Gabs watched with interest while figgiting. Everything was new. ——– This doesn’t feel right. Okay. The sensations were new. Pain, delicious Read more

    Is this Covid crap over now? Who wants to get vaccinated have gotten vaccinated. Who doesn’t want to hasn’t. The people who haven’t can change their minds. Those who have stuck don’t have any recourse. It’s kind of like someone losing her virginity. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. The body may repair itself but the Read more

  • December 3 – Part 18

    Gabs’ mind’s eye was fading. The lapsing darkness felt like water creeping into her skin through her pores, through her body. A feeling of surrender, truth, and peace. She took a deep breath and cracked her eyes. With red-rimmed sight, she stared up, concentrating on the sensual slithering. It moved more inward and upward as Read more
