Well, how’s this for a work day. My professional calendar is empty. My personal calendar is empty. Anything that I could plan for today has been accomplished. Everything that I had planned for to...


Got home last night and was greeted by a bubbly huggy wife. Which would normally be okay but I know she’s not had access to her medication recently as it is on back order, so that was concerning...


Yesterday was busy! After the morning of freaking out, preparing, and planning… I had the afternoon of hearings and arguments and such. After work, it was Working Out (which killed my arms) and...


I worked over the weekend because I want to nail this bloody hearing. Got in to work and immediately started tackling the hearing prep. E-Mailed the State’s 1 Witness. Pretty sure we won’t hav...


On Saturday and Sunday I wrote (or started to write) a specific entry. Monday morning, I pulled up Prosebox and the entry was still there in New Entry. I figured, “Awesome. I’ll work on this wh...


So… herein we discover the fundamental flaw of me. I don’t mind trial. I don’t mind hearings. I don’t mind motions. But my lack of experience in the “deep weeds” of the law sends anxiety thro...


Positives and Negatives At work last night, my boss recommended I check out a case that the State (we’re county, so they’re like our Big Brother) is filing on for inspiration for my Resistance. ...


Saw this on Abstract Sunflower’s page (ala Front Page) and decided to do a version of my own. Not to say “fill out the survey for myself” but “fundamentally alter elements of the survey”. Parti...


The second day of 2019 dawns. It has not yet been Chinese New Year (that happens on February 5th), but when that dawns it will be the Year of the Pig. 2018 was the Year of the Dog. So, arguabl...


So, what were last years “Goals,” or “Resolutions,” or “Dragons”, or “Hopes?” 2018: https://www.prosebox.net/entry/652151/ (1) I want to get under 200 lbs (2) We need to work on our marriage (3) ...


Briefly: Yesterday (December 30th) was an almost perfect day. Joy, family, and accomplishment. Hell, the only way it could have been any better is if my wife deigned to interact in an affection...


My Christ I am exhausted. I texted my Wife. I let her know that I couldn’t sleep last night, woke up around 2 a.m. to a night as bright as day, went to the basement, drank the brandy, spilled so...


Largely summarized by the following: What was your biggest life lesson this year and what did you learn? It is a lesson that I am still learning and still trying to use in my life… but I lea...


I don’t know if it is because of who I am, still with a strong sense of my childhood self inside of me, or if it is because of my previous work environment with the Chinese… but there are still p...


So… all Private firms have this week off, it seems. My “friends on Facebook Messenger” list is now pretty much everyone from Law School being bored. And why not? Courts aren’t doing shit today...


So, since I couldn’t sleep last night, I am 100% exhausted today. Just sitting at my desk, in pain, fighting the passionate urge to close my eyes and drift off to sleep. That is what I want to ...


I’ll write a better entry later but It is currently around 3 a.m. I couldn’t sleep. Wife was out like a light as soon as she hit the bed… didn’t even take any clothes off. For those who are on my...


A genuine and enthusiastic Merry Christmas to all. I genuinely hope you are all doing well and enjoying the day. I have realized a strong and unfortunate massive personal flaw. I completely lack ...


The Congress and Senate of the United States, voted for by individual states which translates into much closer representative government despite extreme gerrymandering, had agreed on a budget to ...


I have unrealistic expectations of myself. All month I’ve been working out, watching what I eat and drink, and trying to do well for my body. I’ve lost literally ZERO pounds. Now… technically,...


Why not do more whining, I’m not getting notes anyway, lol. It could be said that my largest problem is how much of my life is lived on-line. But all things considered… that is how things are he...


So… my spirit has been in a weird place. I have a house, my wife and I are starting to do well(ish) in counseling, I’m in a job that I like that pays well… that hopefully I won’t lose anytime soo...


I’m feeling lonely and a bit listless. It happens, especially when living and working in Rural Iowa… but it isn’t a fun place to be. I’m just… feeling a little lonely.


I’m torn. I’m happy that next week is Christmas because I certainly need some time off; but I already know that my Christmas “time off” will be much like most of my weekends of late. Hustle, dr...


Oh… the News. I think one of the reasons why Weekends are so rejuvenating for me is that I don’t watch the news or read the news at all. That’s what makes the weekends so restful. Immediately L...
