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…

  • 2018-08-21 What Happens When You Ignore Poetry

    On Sunday I was so hopped up on caffeine and quite inspired by everything that I had been reading. All I wanted to do was write poetry, all I needed to do was write an essay for school, all that came out instead was an overly dramatic blog post where I declared that in the…

  • 2018-08-21 It’s Not Even Halloween Yet…

    And I’m already Smashing Pumpkins. (Ok, that should probably be past tense now since the concert was last night but whatev). William came to town to see me and decided to put on a show for the masses who are old enough to remember the Siamese Dreams Of their youth. I gave him the green…

  • 2018-08-19 Crossing the Streams

    When I said a week ago that the next two weeks were gonna be big, it was a statement largely guided by intuition and the knowledge that I’ve got a lot going on. It’s the confluence of all the fires of my life colliding into a massive pire. I’m either gonna walk out the other…

  • 2018-08-18 Summer School Saturday – What it Looks Like

    Yesterday I made the successful transition into school mode. I finished reading a bunch of definitions about imagery and metaphor and started digging into the first selection of poets I’ve elected to read this go-round. I encountered a certain level of frustration because I’m not reading concept texts like I was last term. This time…

  • 2018-08-17 French-Toast Friday

    A few days ago my darling daughter initiated a game called “get to know you better”. In the game we take turns asking each other questions that reveal more about our character and through doing that we get to know each other better. There are two amazing things about this.. 1. She’s 16 and most…

  • 2018-08-16 I Don’t Miss It

    Yesterday turned out to be kind of a terrible day despite how great it started out. I was Swamped with meetings and I ended up having to do a call in my car going to the high school and back because my darling daughter forgot something she needed. From my own house that a 6…

  • 2018-08-15 OMG It’s August

    I know, I know.. it’s been August now for more than two weeks but it’s going by so fast. I’m not prepared for the end of summer, I’m not prepared for both my kids attending high school, and I’m certainly not prepared for the other things coming up in the next two weeks. It’s gonna…

  • 2018-08-14 Transition is Always Tough

    Yesterday I took my kids shopping for school supplies. It was an effort to get them to face reality – school starts this week (today for C and tomorrow for Z). No more sleeping past noon and staying up super late. How late I don’t know because I typically fall asleep around 10PM. They actually…

  • 2018-08-13 In the Zone

    Yesterday was a perfect, quiet day. I got my workout in early and did some house chores. After that I was still not feeling the school vibe, despite impending doom. I really should come to terms that I don’t have to be “in the mood”, to work on what is supposed to be homework. I…

  • 2018-08-12 Sweet and Salty Sunday Status

    You know that whole salted caramel fad? Yeah.. it’s like that. Incidentally that’s a taste combo I never quite liked. In candy at least. When I was a kid one of my favorite things ever was eating lays bbq potato chips and drinking doctor pepper. That was a sweet and salty treat combo for sure,…

  • 2018-08-11 Contemplating Full Time

    Guess what? My boss called me yesterday afternoon and “tried” to plant a little seed about me working full time. They want me on permanent payroll putting in 40 (probably plus) hours a week. I say he “tried” because I listened intently and didn’t bite. I’m not sure if he expected me to ask more…

  • 2018-08-10 Making Friday Great Again

    Alexa told me about Space Force about 7 weeks ago (rough flawed memory guess). Yesterday it was all over my social media feeds, liberals angry that America doesn’t have money for basic needs programs yet can invest potentially billions in a new arm of the armed forces. The disgust is warranted, but to me this…
