2024-10-31 A Spooky Sort of Update…

It feels great to be back on my elliptical machine. It was pretty depressing to be away for so long. The sadness and melancholy I suffered the last couple months was primarily due the big shift in my routine, but as life typically has it, the injury was not the only contributing factor to my…

2024-10-30 Highlights from a Very Remote Nebraska Vacay

Where was I? Where was I before? And where have I been since then? As I alluded to yesterday, being laid up on my ass for two months was a little bit depressing. In truth, though, it’s not like I was immobile, I just couldn’t work out or do anything too physically taxing. I could…

2024-10-29 Still Kicking It (The Can, Down the Road)

September came and went. October too, it seems. How easily time slips away when… whenever, however, whatever always happens. It’s been a few months since I rubbed a couple sticks together and made a spark of a sentence. There are a few forces behind my hiatus from writing. The first of which is a fall…

2024-08-30 Mercury Can Just Eff Off Already

I had high hopes for August. Such high, high hopes. But sometimes a girl sets her expectations too high. Something in the Universe told me it would be a fantastic month so who was I to argue?! About half way through I was still holding on to hope despite the “shit show” that had been…

2024-08-16 A Fresh Take on Over Half Over

August is officially over half over. The year is over half over. My life is over half over. Oh no?! Another melancholy post about existential dread and crooning over what the purpose of life is and what it all means??!! No. Nope. Not today. A few weeks ago (or maybe it was just last week)…

2024-08-08 808 Like a Drum..

An oldie that never gets old. Maybe someday someone will say that about me. 😂 This past couple weeks reading fiction for The Good Life Review in between trips to different hospitals, medical centers, and council bluffs has me thinking of all these one or two line vignettes that feel like silk in my head. Mostly…

2024-08-01 The Power of Choice

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life it is that I am the ONLY person responsible for my happiness. For support in all the other colors of the rainbow, I will gladly lean on those around me who I can trust in times of need, but for that pesky fleeting golden ticket known as…

2024-07-19 Look How Far We’Ve Come…

I’ve got a lot of updates to share but that’s not what’s really on my mind. You know, the things that are going Ok like my daughter being 8000 miles away and my son enjoying life, save for maybe those shifts flipping burgers, or even my own stuff. It’s all going good and I’ve cycled…
