  • 2018-03-22 Easier Said Than Done

    I’m completely stuck and and have to start here. It’s 2 in the afternoon and I’m so frazzled and unfocussed I can’t tell you which way is north. Of course I know north is at the back of my house, but I’m talking about “true north”. Yesterday, all my good intentions starting schoolwork were derailed…

  • 2018-03-21 Time to Shift the Balance

    I’m quite sick of overcast days, waking up to freezing temps and snow/sleet. My spring bulbs are coming up and probably happy to have that moisture, but pretty soon they are going to want to see the sun too. I good balance of both rain and sun would be perfect. The same goes for school…

  • 2018-03-19 Delayed Sunday Status – The “Big News” Edition

    What day is it again? I’ve been traveling on a new track and apparently left my sense of time a few stops back. Oh yeah.. Monday. It’s been a few days since I’ve done anything resembling my normal routine, and my balance was definitely off this past weekend. I’m going to try and rediscover my…

  • 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…

  • 2018-03-01 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 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…
