Hey there!

This stream of consciousness is intended to be an unfiltered account of my journey to fight my way to a healthier, happier life. One day at a time, one step at a time, one organically-grown-emotionally-raw blog post at a time…

  • 2018-12-26 Ups and Downs

    Last night Jim and the kids and I went to see the new animated spider man movie and that was a wonderful ending to our first Christmas together. Life is wonderful. The holiday was not without challenges. Scheduling was a bad dream this year with my ex and his SO who took greater interest in…

  • 2018-12-23 What’s in a Name?

    I tend to place a lot of weight on naming things. I think names are important. For objects and ideas it’s all about standards and improving communication and understanding. For poems and other creative writing, it is the title that I spend a long time considering and I’ve attended entire lectures and group discussions about…

  • 2018-12-22 This IS the Life

    It’s the only one I’ve got so I’m treating it with great care. I’ve rolled into the weekend before Christmas in style. I’m already enjoying having everything wrapped up and cruising through the weekend and next week without too much fuss. This morning we had a well deserved Saturday morning where we didn’t have to…

  • 2018-12-19 The Day That Came and Went

    Yesterday I did not get to work out, or sleep, or eat and I barely had time to stop and pee. Seriously. I had to leave the house before Jim (at 7:30AM) for an in person work meeting and did not make it back home until about 8PM because of the workshop and reading down…

  • 2018-12-17 Spinnin’ Records

    It’s Monday again and that means another transition. It’s really getting to be too much and this close to Christmas I just have a lot of things stacking up and that doesn’t help. My brain is struggling to wrap itself around all of it and when that happens, I lose focus. Gawd, I sound like…

  • 2018-12-16 Cyber Sunday Status

    The economy is certainly doing ok now. I went shopping for Christmas yesterday and didn’t find much… the things I was going after were not at the store anymore. I’m going to learn a lesson from that and just get things when I find them and not wait until the last minute. (That’s me trying…

  • 2018-12-15 The One About Old Dogs and New Tricks

    Ok.. I’ve really tried the last couple weeks to keep the ranting to a minimum, but if something is bothering me, I just have to get it out. Perhaps the answer is just to write about it and then throw it away, but somehow that’s not as cathartic. As the title of this post might…

  • 2018-12-14 Why Wait for the New Year

    Years ago I adopted a tagline. It’s a philosophy I try to remind myself when life has me saying “I’ll get to that tomorrow”. That happens more often than I’d like to admit. Almost daily I catch myself convincing myself to “start tomorrow” or the beginning of next week or next month. The tagline is…

  • 2018-12-11 What Can I Say?

    Yesterday it took me all damn day to snap out of myself and find my way to .. to.. what? To reality? to what is right? To what is important and good? I guess so, to all of that. All roads of my life intersect and there I am, standing at the crossroads unable to…

  • 2018-12-10 December Double Digits

    It’s Monday again and I’m in transition mode and can’t find my chi. I was quite literally away from my house for a full week and am excited to see my kids again but not excited to be facing another week without my love. It’s also going to be a tough work week and that’s…

  • 2018-12-09 Sleepy Sunday Status

    Last night I had to catch up on sleep which was missed the night before because we ended up out till nearly 2AM. The party we had was at our house, however, things wound down here about midnight and everybody took Uber’s to the bar. I can’t remember the last time I was out that…

  • 2018-12-07 It’s Party Time

    I woke up in Nebraska today any it was great!! Last night was the start of my company holiday “retreat”. Everyone flew to California yesterday and the start of the party was last night. Wait.. what? I woke up in my own bed and didn’t have to go to Cali because I already had commitments…
