  • 2017-12-27 That’s So Meta

    While I was dating Matt, he never seemed that interested in my writing. When I met him I already had my first two blogs. One was the original WordPress site which is still active today and houses all my “public worthy” creative writing. The second was my somewhat hidden tumblr account which was intended for…

  • 2017-12-26 And the Winner Is…

    My Christmas Day turned out to be far superior to Christmas Eve. I think that the “it” factor was all about obligation. Christmas Eve was all about me running myself crazy about both real and imagined expectations. And as I predicted, everything went just fine and the only real complaint I had was that I…

  • 2017-12-25 It’s Christmas, Don’t Shoot Your Eye Out

    The party is over and Christmas morning has come and gone. Every gift that was given has been received and unwrapped. The house is kind of a mess but for the first time in days I’m able to not care about it. The kids have left and gone to their dad’s house and all is…

  • 2017-12-24 Merry Christmas Eve – Unix Style

    All I want for Christmas is a nap. If I can get through the day.. I’ll get my wish. I didn’t end up sleeping at all yesterday despite waking up at 4am. As if that wasn’t bad enough.. I didn’t get to sleep until after 12:30 AM! As I drifted off to sleep I was…

  • 2017-12-23 Christmas Chaos Brain

    I was awake at 4am and at Home Depot at 6:30am. Why oh why does my brain make me crazy? It’s just Christmas but in my head it’s chaos. I’m hosting Christmas Eve dinner and will roll right through to Christmas morning with the kids. It should be minimum cleaning, minimum gifts, and minimum cooking…

  • 2017-12-21 Happy Winter Solstice

    The past few years the winters here in Nebraska have been pretty mild. So far, this year is no exception to that. We haven’t had any of that nasty white precipitation and the temps have stayed mostly above freezing. I don’t think we’ve even had more than a few single digit lows. Despite the reality…

  • 2017-12-20 The Time Management Struggle…

    … It’s real! I had just over six hours of sleep and woke up feeling tired and not well rested. I’ve got swarms Of thoughts across lots of topics and things have just changed so fast I’ve had very little time to adjust. The new gig is top priority (or should be) and despite feeling…

  • 2017-12-19 It’s Go Time

    When I arrived home from the gym yesterday I had my first assignment from my new boss sitting in my in-box. By my first real meeting at 3pm,I was deep into trying to understand that and the other documentation I was into. By the end of my second meeting at 5:30pm, I had my second…
