Today has been tense. Someone got fired at work today for being a racist fuckwad. It was the asshole with the blue switches on his mechanical keyboard, (and the Confederate flag on many of his shirts, belt buckle, and bumper sticker.) Every time he pressed a key, it made an annoying click sound that defeats […]
Today flew by. Probably because I spent most of it working on a T-shirt quilt. I haven’t made a quilt in a while. This will be my 8th. I listened to Be Myself by Sheryl Crow on repeat all day. I’m glad I checked to see if she released anything recently. I’m a little behind […]
Welp. I’m freaking out again. M. popped The Question. His parents will be here in a few days. Inhale… 2… 3… 4… Fuck. And out… 2… 3… 4… This kinda shit isn’t supposed to happen after your mom dies. It would be in the rule book if I had a say in these things. I […]
I’m so happy to be home. The cat is ignoring me while keeping me in view. It’s cracking me up because she acted like a puppy when I first entered. Then I rolled in my suitcase, and she remembered she’s a cat. I expect to be forgiven in a few hours, (based on having done […]
The kids in hacker training camp have gone on a field trip. I didn’t go because my being in Denver is my field trip. No amusement park necessary, thankyouverymuch. They’re with a physicist who promised to blow their minds. I’m excited to hear all about it when they return. I’m excellent at vicarious excitement. It’s […]
I’ve devised a new bribe to get myself to exercise. If I run on my treadmill, I can watch music videos and interviews. I just need to go a bit slower to prevent vertigo. I don’t have a forgiving space to land in if I go flying off the back. I have a credenza full […]
I just realized I haven’t watched anything but Stevie Nicks documentaries and live concerts on DVD in a while. Typically, I only allow myself to listen to music when I’m exercising because it’s the only way to get me to do it. Lately, it’s all I do in my free time, but it hasn’t been […]
I accomplished my goal yesterday. It wasn’t too bad. I had to renew my driver’s license before mid-July, or I’d have to take the written test again. The last time I had to renew, I didn’t notice it expired until a bank teller told me. I was in the drive-thru, and I had a meltdown. […]
The Depression Monster is riding my back. It’s at minor annoyance level. I’m a bit surprised by my suspicions of why I’m feeling low. I think it’s because I’m studying Stevie Nicks, and I’ve come to a rough point in her past. I’m at the overwhelming betrayal: She was told she had to stop using […]
Ladies and gentleman, hold your devices tightly. From here on out, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. The countdown has been reset to expire on June 30, 2017. The catalyst is once again the threat to repeal the ACA (Affordable Care Act). Unlike before, I’ve decided against a dramatic exit specifically designed to shame […]
