Where to begin? Saturday is fairly documented. The Nation had a crisis. This community sided with anti-American Ideals. My marriage issues continue as I am “room mate” status. Saturday. Sunda...


It is no surprise that I find my current living situation intolerable. I have certainly suggested before that the community I currently live with is different than I am used to. In many ways; t...


Wife says Skiing tomorrow. So… today… she has plopped herself down in front of Bones. After several hours; I asked her if we could do something fun or maybe at least watch something fun… she look...


I used to create Political Memes. My most famous (though, that is using the term loosely) meme to this point has been the following: But… prior to Trump’s Rise; I really wasn’t obsessively poli...


As my day has been… well… yeah. My job could just as easily be done by a Legal Secretary; so me here right now is like asking a High School Senior to take a 7th Grade Literature Course. So… jus...


I came in to work this morning. Even beat Ran into the office, so there’s that. Of course… last night, amidst the not sleeping, I was dealing with stomach pains and gastric distress. But, also...


Yup. 3 am. Can’t sleep again. This week can kiss the fattest part of my ass. Though, I think I may know what the deal is. Wife has not worked all week. Again. So each morning is waking while she...

Last night, I could not sleep. My left leg pops when I move it. My stomach was resoundingly unhappy. My neck and back feel like an accordion player mistook them for his instrument. So… I didn...

I did not write yesterday; nor did I read yesterday. Instead, I awoke at 5 a.m. Laid in bed. Got out of bed at 7 a.m. Lay on the sofa. And try as I might… I could not will myself to give any ...


I awoke a little after 6 this morning. I stayed in bed, hoping that I could wait long enough for the sun to come out. A foolish hope. I’ve said before that the sun rarely shines here and today...


Many debate what feminism means. And I will say this… if you declare yourself a Feminist but tear down women who like dresses and make up… you aren’t a Feminist… you are a bully. Feminism is th...


For anyone who thinks The Women’s March isn’t necessary or important, spend an hour listening to the people criticizing the march. I have rarely seen such oafish, offensive, misogynistic vitriol ...


(You saw the title, so know this is a TMI) How much of a snob am I? Hearing Sarah Brightman’s solo version of “Con te partirò” gives me a semi. Gross? Probably. Snobby? Likely. Proof that I ...


Wherein I may look like a pompous, arrogant, self-important ass while complaining about people that, through my poor use of words, may look like down-to-earth, homey, good folks with strong con...


Today was Cecilia’s husband’s funeral. The woman looked fairly destroyed. After all, they had dated in High School and married almost immediately thereafter. They had been married over 40 ye...


1400 I’ve spent the last hour updating GOOGLE CALENDARS (which Ran wants to use… which is a damn sight better than the NOTHING Boss used); and now (upon Ran’s request) am creating a White Board c...

0730 So badly want to sleep more. A significant portion of me wants to call in sick to work just so I can get another 4 to 6 hours of sleep. :( Of course… that could be the Fibromyalgia… the lac...


So… yeah. The internet in my home is fucked. Like… we have the best we can get for our area… but it isn’t what I would call stupendous. More stupid. So… again… I am 3 full pages behind in boo...


Not sure which book to put this in but.... “Huge” Ice Storm incoming… so we’ll see what happens. But I’ve been reading a lot today (not Prosebox and not Cases… sometimes I just need to… read. ...


0932 I missed my alarm today… which is strange. I woke up at 8:30 a.m. Good to get the extra sleep but it looks bad when I live closest to the office and I’m the last person there. When I got ...

Well… a work day. A work day that… already feels a bit strange. 09:34 I forgot to call back Ranting&Sobbing yesterday. As little as I want to, I did say I’d call her back… so I should call ...


I had a dream.... I was single and living in an apartment in Des Moines. Not a big one; but two bedrooms, a common area, and a kitchen. My room mate was Thompson (an ex gf) and she had taken th...

Written/Updated throughout the day. 10:00 a.m. I woke up this morning in excruciating pain. Simply moving my arms or my legs was more than I could coax out of myself. So, I hit the “fuck this” ...


The rest of the morning went rather well. Tackled the morning work with my usual apathetic “do your duty” work feel that gets me through the day around here. Even got several cases finished! T...


This weekend passed far too quickly and meant far too little. Friday night, around 10:00 p.m., Wife and I began the 3 hour drive to her parents. I was exhausted and in considerable pain by the e...
