I wouldn’t normally come to this space to discuss this issue but it seems that my avenues to discuss this are quickly shrinking and I don’t think I’d be doing myself any favors by not being open...

---

Yesterday was an epic win for the dog. Some… issues… but that is to be expected with 5 kids running around for longer than normal. Like… yes, Nala did get some of the couch fluff again… but tha...

---

My sinuses were bugging the living shit out of me today. Coughing, making it hard to breath, worried about a fever. Yes, I did wonder if it could be the Rona. Temperature Gage at work said 96.1 S...

This entry may involve some content that some would find objectionable. Fair warning. When you think about things, the following items are true. (1) Nala is almost 2 and still has a great deal o...

---

Victoria, Remus, and Essen volunteered to do literally whatever they could to keep Nala around. I plan to email Nala’s vet, too. And talking to the neighbor. And blasting all of the area Fac...

---

UF! So, I was planning to call my parents when I got home as discussed in therapy. However, when I got home… Nala (my dog) had lost her tiny mind. She has been an unholy destructive terror and...

---

I’ll summarize therapy really quickly: “So your parents… what is the protocol there, then?” We’re supposed to call them. “Is that always true?” No, they used to call me a little more. But ever s...

---

The plan for Wednesday as I knew it was as follows: Wake up. Go to Des Moines to get glasses fixed. Come back to get my car fixed. Victoria comes over, we walk Nala, have dinner, enjoy each ot...

---

In some ways this shall be a more in-depth retelling of events than I sometimes get into but… that is the benefit of not working tomorrow. (This was written on Tuesday) During my work day, as it ...

---

Iowa’s Supreme Court, recognizing the massive strain COVID is placing on the state, have once again cancelled all Jury Trials. To be renewed in February. This is… both positive and negative. ...

This is a short follow up to what I’ve been writing in the last two entries, apparently. I am SUPER happy that when Nancy was over yesterday, she fixed the couch. She texted me about it, I check...

---

I don’t like emotions that confuse me. I’m pretty clear about that. I’ll obsess over something until I understand it, if I care enough. Which is odd… I lost a case this week and… not obsessing...

As a Sexual Assault Prosecutor… I have a small hatred against certain groups based on age. Above a certain age, I still run into far too many who believe “it isn’t rape if you’re married.” Above ...

---

The evening was good. Better than expected while containing little of what was expected. Victoria came over and was clearly lost deep in thought. Her son is having trouble in school and it seem...

---

Call me over dramatic but my sense of personal justice had already been pushed to its exhausted end. After seeing my state go overwhelmingly in favor of corruption, fear, and hatred? My sense o...

---

So… After writing, I finally nodded off. For approximately one hour. At which point I had a horribly graphic nightmare that involved me in a very painful car wreck. Got up, threw on some jeans,...

I got my tasks done and in bed at a reasonable time. Fell asleep okay. Nala woke me at 3 a.m. I’ve been trying to get back to sleep but… my thoughts prevent it. I think about Essen and her day...

Today my brother texted us about my niece. After her schooling, she went to her Dad and asked him about his day. How seminary is going… how his studies are different to hers, how he is doing. A...

Can you imagine believing that your faith is the ideal faith, that all people should follow it, that your version of God is the only correct path… and then literally attempting to force people th...

---

I’ve always known I’m more of an abstract being. Mental over physical. Everything about me suggests as much. I prefer more sedentary interests. My academic life was focused on the intangible ...

---

My county had 17 cases at the end of lockdown. Then in May, Governor COVID KIMMY decided that “the businesses couldn’t withstand anymore restrictions.” We went from 200 cases to over 550 cases ...
