A freezing rain greets me as I accompany the trash carts to the end of the driveway. It tears my attention away from what I don’t remember. It feels good to feel the rain on my skin and how it forces me to move faster, look forward to being back inside, strip down to dry.…

2020-07-31 Adios July.. Don’t Let the Door Git Ya!
Remember all that I was saying yesterday about riding out the hormonal storm until the crashing waves calm down? Yeah, just effff that. It really is easy to talk logic than to put it into practice sometimes. Listen. Yesterday was a bitch. Work sucked. And at the end of the day I was on the…
