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. ...

(1) Remus, Victoria, Essen, and all the kids came over last night. It was actually really good up until the end. Kids had kind of a massive melt down. (2) Victoria has downloaded Tik Tok and ha...

---

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 ...

---

I hope everyone enjoyed their Full Moon Extra Hour Halloween! I spent mine with a family I was friends with in High School. Cool to catch up… see how they are, see their kids. My facebook feed ...

---

(1) My self-destructive tendencies are getting the better of me (2) My body is in pain, my heart is depressed, and while I can push myself to move my body… I can’t summon the strength to do any w...

---

HA! So… I had spoken with the judge and all the attorneys yesterday. Nobody wanted to go to the courthouse today (as early voting kicks in, additional unmasked people flood our work space, and c...

---

to write some poetry. But I am worried it would come across as lacking in subtlety, being whiny, being annoying, or being entirely ignorable. Bah. So instead… I’l jot down notes and then expand...

---

Please read the previous entry as that entry is the entry of substance. This is merely a correction. After receiving many notes as to people concerned about the mortgage payment being too much o...

---

Some notes from the last few days have been amazing… some… not so much. Some of you have seen and understood what’s going on. Others haven’t. That’s fair. Ultimately, here’s the only thing yo...

---

This is likely juvenile and immature and beneath me but… I have quite the strong urge to simply distance myself from Victoria and Remus and Essen. Remus changed the name of our Group Chat to Poly...

---

What a way to start a morning. Woke up to someone on Tinder having actually matched with me. I have Bumble, Tinder, Match, and OKC and between all of them… I never get picked, much less matched....

---

After Saturday and returning to a new… significantly more empty house… a thought spiral absolutely took me out. Other than the fact that this house is so much more empty… other than the fact that...

---

Had my first dream about Aoife in a long time. She came to surprise me after hearing about my divorce. A nice, unrealistic fantasy-type dream. IRL she probably does know about it but I am cert...

---

I’m editing something I wrote and adding more detail because… y’all already know most of my original writing: I’m not one of those guys that drags his ex-wife. That being said, there is a reason ...
