Some poignant ponderings of any given day.
The weekend was good and busy, but with some challenges. After work on Friday, I met my friend Sally for some dancing with the club people at Grahams. It was enjoyable, but I felt tired a lot more quickly that night than I usually do. Saturday morning, I woke up, and my long muscles...
Read more →The weekend was good. I’m becoming a little more active than I have been of late. My buddy Kurt and I got three Loop jogs in last week. My body needs the exercise to, of all things, stave off aches and pains, among other reasons. I could lose a few pounds as well. We’ll...
Read more →It’s been a weird week this week as I can see I am sliding into another pool of sadness. I think I deal with this each year around the holidays because I feel a strong sense of being alone during this month and some. Today the melancholy is registering more tangibly. I know some...
Read more →Today was a pretty decent day, although the middle of it was less constructive than I hoped it would be. Oh well. It started with a loop around the Loop with my jogging buddy, Kurt. With a month of lay off from getting out there, we had a decent time for covering the corse....

Read more →It’s Thursday, and another week is almost done. I am amazed at how quickly they go by. It’s been a good day, but up and down as well. I was able to make great progress in a project at work, which I was able to hand over to my boss at day’s end for...
Read more →It’s been a few weeks since I’ve written anything, and frankly, I know there have been things to write, but I’ve either been too busy or the topics seem to big to get into a post. Time has flown by, as well. I often get home in the evenings, and once I am there,...

I don’t know what the deal is, but I am enjoying a round of nausea this afternoon. My guess it is the result of re-upping on a medication, but it could also be my stomach’s unhappy handling of a mug of coffee this morning, or a reaction to something else I have eaten. I...
Read more →It’s been a good day, long but decent. I think all I have tonight is that I am reminded once again that I am not good with intimate relationships, and that I am confused by them and how people wander into them, and I am not sure I know what one even looks like....
Read more →Another weekend closes down. I am entering this post after finishing up a good 7 hours of being at work staring at the project that won’t build itself. Not all of this time has been spent on programming. I am still in a mental fog from sleep hunger and whatever else is stifling my...
Read more →It’s now Friday morning in what has felt like one of the longest short work weeks of my life. I’ve felt chronically tired since stepping in the office Tuesday morning, and it has been an overall tired, complete with a hunger for sleep, a mushy mind, two golfer’s elbows, achy arm muscles, and a...
Read more →I don’t know why I don’t change the name of this section to Dear Diary. Cause that’s what these are. Diary entries. Oh well. Day was good, but long. I’ve continued to struggle with a problem in being able to finish a particular project at work, and I know the client is a little...

My day started out after I left for work with a stop for gas, and at the station I was greeted by this incredibly vivid butterfly. It was sitting on a short wall near a pump and looked so out of place. After checking it out for a few, I moved it to a...

Today was a good Labor Day, although I continued to feel tired most of the day. The bulk of the day was spent at home. After a year of captivity, I let the cats out to scout the house. My little boy was like, “Meh.” The little girl came downstairs and cautiously checked out...
Read more →It’s Sunday evening, about 8:40, and I am tapped out. For the middle of a holiday weekend, I feel drained, and as if there is not enough time to get done what I need to get done. It was my hope to get headway made on one pressing project at work, and another one...
Read more →It’s now 5:30 P.M. on a Friday evening- the Friday before the long Memorial Weekend unfolds and Americans check out for an extra day. Over the last week, I’ve noticed temperatures falling in and out of the office. The sky is darker in the morning on run days- not quite full on night, but...
