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

  • Things I like

    It’s been about five hours since my last post. Jason is still playing NieR.    At one point, he’ll have to shut it off to do some grocery shopping, maybe, but until that time I’m keeping myself busy. If he’s happy, I’m happy. We don’t get quite evenings like this very often. There’s a lot… Read more

    Short answer…   Jason didn’t notice my four hours of scrub-a-dub-dubing. Eventually, I said something about it.   He made a vague guess and comment, so I just dropped it.  There’s no real point in facilitating an asinine guessing game.   I’d just get frustrated and he upset. No point in wasting all that energy.… Read more

    Scrub-a-dub-dub. Fresh off my triumph of doing yard work yesterday without it raining — take that 70% chance —  I decided to double down and do some yard work today as well.     Out I went! Since I mowed the yard, weeded, and did some other stuff yesterday, I did what Frank suggested.    Off… Read more

  • 7/11 pt 2

    I actually did something today besides scrub the bathroom floor, dust the ceiling fans, and look dubiously at the dates on can goods. Despite the cloudy sky, I wheeled the lawn mower out and went to work.    I got the back yard a few days ago between raindrops, so I only needed to do… Read more

  • 7/11

    Today should be a special day for 7/11 employees everywhere. It fits.   Free slushies for everyone! Yesterday was Chick-fil-a’s Cow Appreciation Day.  Since any corporation or organization can declare (or own) a specific day or an entire month, 7/11 should be able to do so to… if they haven’t already had. Another day of self… Read more

    I’m feeling better today. The neck still hurts – both sides – but it’s a dull twinge.   The headache is missing.  I’ll consider that a win.  I don’t know if I’m getting better because the storm front changed or I slept on it differently. I’ve been sleeping a lot over the past couple of days. … Read more

  • 7/9

    I got the back yard mowed before it rained.   Ha ha! Course, it’s the front yard that really needed, but I did the back yard.  The front yard will be tomorrow, providing there are 12 hours or so without rain so the yard will dry up a bit. I know the weather is crazy all… Read more

    Odd day. Odd weekend. Because of the Fourth, Jason had four days off from work.   We pretty much spent them in each other’s company.  Four days of 24 hours of me all the time.    Wow.   I feel sorry for him when I think about it.   I wouldn’t want to be alone… Read more

  • Lipstick on a Pig

    I’m sure that AOC has a reason for preferring that particular red shade of lipstick.  Occasionally, I think there’s some type of berry shade, but 99% of the time it’s are bright and potent red. It’s one of her more notable features.   It gains attention to her, particularly her mouth.  By association, I think it… Read more

    A new semester started on Wednesday. I got a 305 course, which I’m thrilled about.    I think I can tend to push them more intellectually than the students who are still learning the ropes in the lower level classes. The thing is that I only have three students. Three. Wow.   I’m not going to… Read more
