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…

  • 2018-03-06 A Little Dose of Reality Goes a Long Way

    Two converging topics this AM. I think that nobody is completely immune from “grass is always greener” syndrome. I talk to people in all kinds of situations and the common thread is that they all have the shit they are dealing with. We have a tendency to look over that fence and see what we…

  • 2018-03-05 Just a Little “I Told You So”

    “Wait a day”. That’s what I think I said. In truth it could be almost any amount of time. A day, a week, a few hours, a year. Change is inevitable. I woke up this morning to severe overcast and rain. And it’s not that warm spring rain that makes the emerging crocus and daffodils…

  • 2018-03-04 Peculiar Weather Patterns

    What a week! Such highs and lows all in the same 7 days. It’s like the weather in Nebraska, wait a day and it will change. Sometimes dramatically. First I’ll start with the the baseline, to establish there is sill some consistency and order in the world. For me, that’s the exercise.. 20.3k average steps…

  • 2018-03-03 Uninspired

    Last night I could not even get through like five pages of my new text without 1). Having my mind go off in several different tangent directions about the subject matter (Poetry as Discourse) more I want to consider as it relates to the text and 2). Wanting to fall asleep. Because that’s what reading…

  • 2018-02-03 Fast Forward Friday

    It was the morning, now all of a sudden it is night. That is how my Friday has gone. Today has been a little off. A little outside the lines. A little of everything unexpected, yet nothing so far out I couldn’t just roll with it. It’s going to end the way it typically does,…

  • 2018-03-01 Part 3 – The Hangover

    When we last left our fateful hero’s, they were staring down at the bottom of a bottle of wine, with empty glasses in hand. Their fingers were on the keyboard possitioned and ready for brilliance to flow as easily from them as the cheap wine that had just played out a most impressive disappearing act.…

  • 2018-02-28 Part 2

    Part 2 of what exactly? Part 2 of that Qdoba I had for dinner yesterday? Yes Part 2 of that bottle of wine I opened a couple of days ago? Yes Part 2 of that Taylor Swift marathon I started a few weeks ago? Yes Part 2 of that blog post I started a hundred…

  • 2018-02-28 EVERYTHING Is Due Today

    I’ve put some serious hours into my MFA packet this week and I’m quite satisfied with what I’m turning in today. I’m very happy about the revisions to a few of my previous first drafts and though I’m not super excited about any of my three essays, I think they are all pretty good too.…

  • 2018-02-26 Monday Morning Lulz

    I’ve got a feeling today is gonna be a great day. I made some progress this weekend with my schoolwork and have the last things somewhat teed up for completion in the next couple of days. I’m lunching with my Omaha bestie, Barb. And my hair looks great today. #winning No familiar faces at the…

  • 2018-02-25 Another Sushiless Sunday Status Update

    Instead, I’m having tacos! 🌮🧡 I know, it’s not Tuesday but Sunday is the new Tuesday so it’s OK. I’m going to cut to the quick… Sleep is still a struggle. Average of 6 hours and 11 minutes a night. Exercise is waning as well. 15,768 steps per day average, which is still above goal. I…

  • 2018-02-24 Look Who Just Showed Up

    Procrastination From deep within a three week slumber With first a slow and sleepy lumber The monster moves, now cocks his head, Instilling thoughts of sudden dread And In the wake of Panic’s stare I also wake, acutely aware Long days and nights I’ve been remiss Choosing something other than this. *** I just couldn’t…

  • 2018-02-22 No Apologies, No Regrets

    Why does it take so long in our lives to get to the point where we care less about what everyone else thinks and more about what we think? I look at my teenage daughter and can feel her persona covered in things she has picked up from caring about what other people think. It’s…
