I’m wondering if I need to start dating. It’s not so much that I think I should as I worry that not doing it means something worse. All I can think about is Mr. Heckel. Perhaps people today ar...

I had an eye opening experience in Jiu Jitsu last week. Every Friday, we have a Reflex Development class after which, we roll (Note: Jiu Jitsu practitioners refer to sparring as “rolling”). I d...

---

As I mentioned before, my dad bequeathed to me three cats. More accurately, I insisted upon taking them because I didn’t want to be one of those horrible persons who just leaves pets behind blit...

---

I asked my realty about the price disparity between my condo and all the other condos that were for sale. They sent me a list of what all the other condos were actually selling for in my area. ...

---

I spoke with my sister who’s a realtor, she said there were some circumstances about what happened that seemed kind of odd. I’m going to write down everythings, so I don’t forget. About mid June...

---

When I first spoke with my realtor about selling my condo, she understandably wanted to know how much I’d like to price my unit. She brought a list of a couple of condos in my subdivision comple...

---

I closed on my house yesterday, and I moved (some) of my stuff in today. I’m having movers pick up my bigger pieces of furniture on Wednesday. Before I discuss anything else, I feel compelled t...

---

We’ve been going through the process of clearing out Dad’s house. I don’t recall how much I’ve spoken about the following, but my dad suffered from a hoarding problem. I think that quirk was al...

---

I drove back to Atlanta today. I need to return to the office next week for the mid-year close. Normally, when I drove back, I would call Dad or send him an email to let him know I arrived save...

---

We moved my dad to a hospice yesterday. That move had been delayed because Dad wasn’t strong enough for it as I mentioned two entries ago. I suppose we got to a point where we had to take that ...

---

My father just passed over. I held his hand while he took his last breaths.

---

…compartmentalizing, I mean. I can sit in my Dad’s hosipital room. That’s all anyone can do in his room. After about an hour or so, I can turn on my laptop and bingewatch Netflix to stave off ...

---

Dad had another bad night. He didn’t sleep much if he slept at all. He has becoming increasingly more zoned out. He just lays in his bed staring absent mindedly at the wall. The nurses starte...

I arrived at my Dad’s hospital Thursday afternoon, and I stayed with him that night. He had restful night. He was very physically weak, but his discomfort wasn’t so bad that it was apparent. L...

---

I took my dad for his biopsy today. The procedure went as intended with no complication, though Dad was worn out afterwards. I expect we’ll receive the results in no more than a week. One humor...

---

I called my dad tonight to check on him. He sounds bad. I don’t think he’ll survive whatever he’s got. I’ll drive down to Eastman and take him to his biopsy next week. I’ll probably stay a da...

---

My sister gave me a complete update yesterday. My dad has legions on his liver, and they’re probably cancer. He hasn’t had a colonoscopy in ten years, so the doctors don’t know how his colon lo...

---

My dad is having health problems. He’s been nautious for the past month or so. Yes, he’s been sick for the past month, and hasn’t done anything about it. He wouldn’t go to the doctor. He does...

---

I drove my dad to St. Simons last weekend for my brother’s engagement celebration. I was expecting my sister and her husband to be there (and possibly my niece and nephew), but they couldn’t att...

---

My brother’s engagement got me thinking about my own lack of romantic prospects. My brother is 39, and this will be his first marriage. If that makes him sound like a socially inept virgin, tha...

---

My brother got engaged a month or so ago. He and his fiancé are having an engagement party in St. Simons Island mid-May, and I will have to attend. Rather, my dad obviously wants to attend and ...
