    2020-05-23 Laundry Day šŸ±

    Yesterday was the worst day I’ve had in a long time. I was on such an emotional edge almost all day and barely made it through all the things I had to do. I participated in an early meeting with a client in which my only responsibility was to take notes and have my brain…

    2020-05-22 How does one protect those they love from a broken heart?…

    On this day 27 years ago, I got married. That lasted 17 years. And in case your curious, nobody gives out prizes for that. I didn’t get a gold star when I was married 10 years and yeah, the marriage was a big party after which there were a few pats on the back, hugs…

    2020-05-21 Mother / Daughter Stuff

    I’ve got some venting to do but I can predict the future so I’m not going there today. If you live long enough, you too will be able to predict the future. The disclaimer on that is that it all comes from experience. Ride that record right round enough times and there’s no question what…

    2020-05-19 Today Miss SugarCookie asks, ā€œWhat does the Universe Want?ā€ šŸ¤”

    Last week was ballz-out crazy and I have high hopes that this week is going to slow down. Is it too high or wishful to believe that it can actually slow down sometime? What I need, is like a week without obligations or responsibilities. What’s that called again? Oh yeah, a vacation. I’m missing my…

    2020-05-16 Every Little Thing Gonna Be Alright

    Bob Marley got it right. Three Little Birds is just one of those iconic songs from my past that returns to my mind again again in new situations and brings with it the history that my brain has attached to it. And despite all the hurt I’ve ever experienced, and negative nostalgia attached with some…

    2020-05-14 Revealing My Drinking Age

    Yesterday was the first day in a while I felt like I had a handle on life. Round 2 cutting my daughters hair went well (first try the prior day ended porky). Five of my son’s missing geometry assignments have now now been verified as complete and we’re on track for catching up this week.…

    2020-05-12 No Rest for the Wicked Part 2

    Yesterday came and went and it was a freaking blur. The deadline at work was met and the team pulled it off. Alpha version 0.0.1 was demonstrated and released to the customer. If that name doesn’t scream ā€œearly, early releaseā€ then I don’t know what does. In the end, I was left to sweep up…

    2020-05-11 No Rest For the Wicked

    I worked all weekend. I didn’t have a weekend. It’s Monday and I’m exhausted. And there’s miles to go and I don’t even have time to say what I want to say or write what I want to write or have the quality time I so desperately need. A person can do this for a…
