Friday, April 3, 2020 in Reconstruction
One thing that hits me about living through unprecedented, meaning almost assuredly historic times in a digital age is… I’m worried the archaeologists were right. Back when I was in college and ...
Thursday the Second in Reconstruction
Had to go into the office today. The good news is that I am the only one in the building so less risk. It is interesting, though. I hadn’t been to the County Seat for a while. The town where ...
Puppy in Reconstruction
Nala started this week with a limp and that limp seems to be getting worse but only towards the end of the day. Otherwise, she seems typically capable of her daily life. But for her deep lack o...
COVID Impressions in Reconstruction
It is interesting. I hear a lot of people essentially screaming, “I AM TIRED OF TALKING ABOUT COVID!” And I get it. A meme I like says, “This month has been a hell of a decade!” We’re all loo...
Last Day of March in Reconstruction
Good News: One of the biggest professional worries we were facing stems from timing. According to the laws of the Nation and the State; there are specific deadlines required in any and all crim...
Bugger in Reconstruction
Can’t sleep. That is annoying. Bah! On the good news front: official “work from home” order. Which is helping me really set up a nice Home Office. Not to mention gives me the opportunity to...
Call It in Reconstruction
Call me a broken record, but I’m seriously reconsidering some things. The hate mail I was talking about? Is because I live in an Agriculture State so that the laws specifically treat Livestock N...
Here's an Update in Reconstruction
It is late… actually, not really but my sense of time lately is totally fucked up so for me- I’m saying it is late. After an entire week of telling my boss that we should all be working from home...
On The Law Generally in Reconstruction
I know that Red State Sentiments should stop surprising me. I mean, I have lived in either Iowa or Nebraska since 1984. My father is a passionate die-hard conservative. My brother is a liberta...
Staving Off in Reconstruction
Okay… shit. Staving off depression is kind of hard in these times. Our country is being run by addle-brained homunculi who are about fifteen days away from announcing compulsory service in the ...
REPLY ALL in Reconstruction
When I was working warehouse jobs and retail, I always had a sneaking suspicion that OSHA was bullshit. I mean… Best Buy would make me single-handedly load/unload the heaviest shit Appliances so...
What The Douche? in Reconstruction
Okay… sometimes, things are stupid as hell. Truthfully. Our Governor and our Emergency Management Department have released a really nicely worded declaration that if as many people work from ho...
I don't get it in Reconstruction
So, I spent the weekend in an area with confirmed COVID19 cases. My father was experiencing shortness of breath. My immune system sucks and I constantly have breathing issues as it is. In fact, I...
In Response in Reconstruction
Lately there have been a few entries that inspired many similar notes. To respond to those notes individually with the same response is a possibility but I figured an entry covering those matter...
The Way It Goes in Reconstruction
So… things with/at the parents has been okay. But as is always the case… when my dad drinks, he gets… belligerent. And insensitive. This time, Mom very specifically and very pointedly told me ...
Nostalgia in Reconstruction
Perhaps this is a weird time to feel this but… I am at my parents house, sleeping in what was at one time my bedroom. It doesn’t look the same, of course. All new furniture, new paint, even new...
How?! in Reconstruction
So, I wasn’t going to write today. I figured… I’m working from home… I’ve got puppy and video games. I have to get ready to go visit my parents. I’ll have plenty of things to occupy my time. ...
A Common Complaint? in Reconstruction
My goodness. I am very tired. Like falling asleep in my office chair tired. And yet… I really want and need to actually accomplish things when I get home tonight. Like… I need to empty the di...
Exhausted in Reconstruction
So, something that is happening that my conspiracy obsessed, bullshit artist worshiping, idiotic as fuck friends and family aren’t capable of understanding… because of the current health scare, s...
20/20 in Reconstruction
Well, 20/20 was an American television newsmagazine broadcast on ABC. The program was designed similarly to CBS’s 60 Minutes in that it features in-depth story packages, although it focuses more ...
Today (Part One) in Reconstruction
Right before I left work last night, my boss started to discuss how he thinks all of this “social distancing” and “self-quarantine” will be used by The State to shut down certain “under performin...
"On Tinder and Desirability" or PART TWO of Today in Reconstruction
I said I’d circle back around to “I’m still feeling… in quite the need to feel… desirable.” This is something that I’ve been thinking about this weekend because the experience is so… different a...
Corona, Government, Home, and More (PART ONE) in Reconstruction
Even in a state with a population as small and as scattered as our little state, the spread of the disease can be seen for the legitimate emergency it is. When confirmed cases were first announc...
Curious in Reconstruction
Today has been a day of mostly wishing time away. A terrible thing to do as life is only ever what we make of it and simply existing is quite far from the impact I want my life to have before it...
Currently in Reconstruction
Last night, I made food and had a healthy dinner. Gave Nala a big walk (her second as Martha had given her a walk as well). I really thought Nala would have slept. But she woke me up at 3 to g...
