Hey there!

2019-11-08 All Backstory and No Conclusion

This week I have disparate assignments. Comments from my mentor on my 3rd big packet of work came back and along with a ton of great feedback was a statement something like, “you’ve earned the right to have a blast with packet 4. Write what you want.” However, I’m still in class and getting those…
2019-11-07 Predictable Predicaments

Last night exactly everything I predicted came to pass… from mid afternoon all the way to bed. I said yesterday I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with my self all alone here, but I did have an intuition on my side, along with history which always repeats itself. I took Jim to…
2019-11-06 Strange Things are Afoot at the Castle S

This morning I woke with a weird feeling. Something strange is afoot in the land of the SugarCookie. The stars have aligned and like a total eclipse, something is about to happen which has rarely happened before. I’m talking about the fact that the kids are all at their other homes and Jim is leaving…
2019-11-04 This is Not the Coffee Shop I Was Looking For ☕️

It’s nearly 6PM and I feel like I’ve miles to go today before I sleep. I’ve done everything that this day has required of me and am currently sitting in a coffee shop waiting for the minutes to tick by. I’ve a commitment to meet a co-worker who is in town on business for dinner.…
2019-11-02 Counting Down with Mario

About a month ago I had a migraine. That happens. Later I was lying on the couch or in bed and Jim was sitting next to me or laying next to me or just next to me. I was holding my head and thinking of something from my childhood. Childhood being anytime before the age…
2019-11-01 Friday Toy Boxes, Writers Blocks, and Botox

I’ve been kinda going through a dry spell with regard to my writing. Some would say that’s just a cop out. Some would say you just have to write everyday and the words will come. Some others might say that it’s ok and when it comes again be ready. I’m not sure what camp I’m…
2019-10-31 Last Day to Haunt October 👻

I wonder why it is I look at the month of October and instead of seeing success in all the things I accomplished, I see everything I fell short on. Spoiler alert.. this one twists into a bit of a rant so if your not wanting that in your day.. best just skip it…. Instead…
2019-10-30 Somedays Life is All About Next Steps

Most days really. I’m like a broken record on this, but life is just moving too damn fast. When it does that, which is like most of the time, what I end up doing almost every day is everything that absolutely has to get done that day. I wake up and ask myself “what needs…
2019-10-26 Much Ado About a Wedding

It’s official.. the final countdown is here! It’s 99 days until I make a vow to spend the rest of my life with another person. Like a lot of big decisions in life, I have doubts and fears but I think that’s always going to be the case. It’s just the Way of things. Am…
2019-10-25 The No-Update Update

It’s been like 5 days since I wrote anything. It’s been a crazy week! I’ve got tons of stuff I want to write about but no time right now and my mind is having a hard time deciding what to say with the few minutes I have left on the treadmill before I have to…
2019-10-20 Sunday Lazy Sunday Status

Perhaps I’ve been avoiding accounting because I think I’m not going to like the results. I feel like my sleep has not gotten better despite the measures I’ve taken to try and improve the situation. I also think my exercise and steps have not been up to par. I know the healthy eating thing is…
2019-10-18 Friday One-Track-Mind, the Coffee Edition ☕️

I’m like inches from caving on the whole abstaining from caffeine thing. I’m sure I’m wasting so much mental energy trying to resist excuses my body keeps throwing at me why I should cave in. It’s pulling ALL kinds of reasons why .. it’s a silly experiment, not helping my sleep situation, not harmful for…
