First the distracting things: This morning, I woke up. Turned off my alarms. Went into the living room, noticed it was 4 a.m. and decided to play some video games before getting into the shower...


One way you can tell this place is different from Tiny Town? 10 days here and I’ve already met someone from the District Criminal Investigation Team, two prosecutors with the Attorney General’s O...


Back in DM. My dreams were filled with Aoife last night. Sexy, beautiful, emotionally satisfying. That… uh… is somewhat concerning.


This may be my last Public Entry. Giving some things some consideration. A- Age: 34 B- Biggest Fear: Never living a meaningful life C- Current Time: 4:49 pm D- Drink you last had: Mtn Dew Kickst...


Here’s a Saturday! I told my wife today “You don’t care enough about me to hate me. Hate comes from caring about someone and those feeling turning. You don’t care enough about me to have feelin...


Last night I didn’t get to sleep until after 3 a.m. So obviously, I’m in some considerable pain this morning. Like… could feel the individual fibers of my shirt as I put it on nerve sensitivity...


The following was written in a format that did not include italics, bold, or underline. Should this cause confusion, please ask. :) Hope everyone had a good 4th of July! Mine was okay. On Tues...


Well, there’s more to be worried about. Of course there is. My ProLaw program? Not working right. My required Sign In for Legal Filing in Iowa? Not set up. The expectations? That I’ll be t...


The morning was… better than I expected. One would think that I’d wake up and feel sad that my wife wasn’t beside me… or that I’d wake up and be grumpy to have to be awake so early. But neither ...


Friday, I packed a bunch of boxes. Then took those boxes from my second story apartment to my car. Drove them an hour away. And put them into a different second story apartment. It was a very...


Yesterday was a whirlwind day. I drove to where the new apartment is; I contacted the landlord and he and I get along great. Got me all set up. Called my new job and got it all sorted. Still s...


Three things: (1) I was able to find a single apartment for Rent that I could move into quickly. I am visiting today (with fingers crossed tightly that the place isn’t a shit hole) and hoping to...


Panic and Focus go kind of hand in hand. I think that’s why my dreams of late have been centered on the idea of College Finals. That moment where you have to focus and push through as hard as y...


Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit. Shit. So… I was requested to make a decision about SMALL County because the Board of Supervisors had approved my potential hire. So I told them yes. However… LAR...


Lots of thoughts all at once right now. So I’ll share how my process works when that is true. First, I’ll write an opening few lines (as so), then I’ll write numbers and categories to remember ...


My wife has now been alive for 38 years. I can’t in good conciousness say she has turned 38 years old. Even she doesn’t deign to say such a thing. Because she knows that when you average ever...


So… I wrote about politics in my Prosebox. I appreciate most/many/just about all the notes I received. You folks know that I am a thoughtful person that rarely comes to opinions or decisions wi...


Okay… I know I’m a snob… it isn’t the first time I’ve said that. I grew up in places with populations over 100,000 people. With that in mind? Fuck rural communities! I have never had more tro...


Thank you all for reading and noting the last entry. Obviously, that has taken center stage in my mind today. It just… in a marriage, where you don’t hear “I love you”… don’t kiss occasionally…...


Friday night after MIL went to sleep and Wife and I adjourned to bed? I couldn’t sleep. At all. I tried. Wife fell asleep. And I lay in bed… trying. Honestly? I think it has just become to...


Wife’s mother is in town. She is staying at our place Friday night, Saturday, Sunday, into Monday. She is here for a big Iowa United Methodist function. I’ll say this: seeing Wife interact wit...


How much backstory is needed? Many weeks ago, I bought (for myself and Wife) tickets to a rare live event. I knew it would be one of those extraordinarily rare events that both Wife and I would e...


Interviews aren’t guarantees of jobs; but I like to think in terms of the law of averages. If you interview ONCE, you have ONE chance at getting hired. If you do 4 interviews in 1 month, you’ve...


Thank you all for the notes on my last Relationship entry. I’ve given it some thought and I appreciate what was stated. It makes a lot of sense to simply allow my Wife to feel and react the way...


This morning I woke early to get things done. Emptied the dishwasher, did a load of laundry, went out to get groceries… that last one may have been a mistake. Hot day. AND I’m a sweating kind ...
