  • Dear Student

    I think you should be proud of yourself. From what you’ve stated, this term has been tough. You’ve stated that work has been overwhelming, and you have been increasingly ill all term. That’s a lot, especially when you’re trying to do your best in college. To support, I “forgotten” to apply all applicable late penalties… Read more

    This is kind of an odd day. The Super Bowl ended with a bang, apparently, as the Eagles slaughtered the favored Chefs. Favored, I guess because of Swift’s boyfriend, Trump endorsed, and received numerous disputed calls to get them there. I guess it is supposed to be one of the most lopsided Bowls ever. The… Read more

    The world is going back to normal. Jason has returned to work I’m not seeing the little sis as frequently. I still get a mom visit, but it’s brief as she injects the shot of whatever big pharma miracle into me to help (hopefully) rebuild my bones. It’s cold – uncomfortably so. There’s more snow… Read more

    Well, I got one of my wishes. Sort of. I’ll be busy until next Monday or so. Well, I don’t know if sitting around in a hospital qualifies as busy. But, given my previous hospital stays, I feel uncomfortable for a couple of days, level out, and then sort of enjoy it. So… I think… Read more

    I guess I’m a little slow on the update, but I think mowing season is over. It’s snowing this evening and it’s mostly sticking. When I checked the mail, I tracked in some wet footprints. The furnace keeps kicking on. My bones, muscles, and body aches. The upper back and front are exceedingly tight. Yep.… Read more

    Well…. we talked about it yesterday. Jason and me. We were distressed that Sneezles was distressed. We were upset that he was upset. We were suffering because he was suffering. At 3:15 am, some of that was resolved. Sneezles’s body finally gave out. Jason was with him till the end. He brushed, petted, watched, and… Read more

    ….. Sneezles (the cat) hasn’t eaten anything in nearly a week. Or, at least about a week. He barely moves. Barely drinks. I think he mews when he doesn’t see anyone for a while or just when he has strength to do so. Quite clearly, he won’t be around for much longer. And there’s nothing… Read more

    My word of the week is – psyops. A psyops is a psychological manipulation that causes an audience to change their behavior, thinking, culture, and objective. These manipulations are created through media, government, organizations, and foreign powers. My current list includes, but is not limited to: – Body positivity– GMOs– LGBT– Ultra Processed Foods– Climate… Read more

    I need to get out of my head. Today is kind of unusual. I don’t have a house to clean or any appointments. I keep hitting refresh on my classes and nothing has come in. I should take this time to work on my book, color, read…. do something. I’ve stumbled onto a golden day… Read more

    Jason has finished Final Fantasy Rebirth… or Remake. Whatever the second one is. He didn’t max out everything but spent over 100 hours of playtime on it. He or whoever bought the game for him certainly got their money’s worth. Jason has moved on to Hades 2. While it’s not officially released, the game was… Read more
