Being alone is hard

My grandfather was afraid of being alone. That's one thing I remember clearly about him. He was a strong man, intelligent and sound of mind. He always seemed unflappable to me, but that's because he always had someone with him. His third wife, Sydney, never sat right with me..she seemed selfish, str...

Trying to get out a little

Well I'm at a pub. I feel like I should be out of place but thank goodness there are other old people here lol. LOTS of hip, unreasonably beautiful young people too, but hey, what can you do. Got my buddy Mo here and I'm trying. Trying my best.

Drawing again. It's coming back slowly

Well after that last entry I decided to give things another shot, all the angst out of my system. Eating right and moving more still seems like it's out of my grasp, especially if I'm making time for art, but here I am, getting ready to dive back into a drawing I've been back and forth on for months...

A Weariness that Reaches Into the Soul

Things are tough. I know that in proper perspective I have very little to really complain about. I know others in other places have different, more terrible circumstances, but I still feel the pressure of my personal life. I've made a solemn vow to my father and to my students that I'd lose weight...

Having one of those tough days

When my wife walked away I went through a bad few months. It all felt oh so typical, like I was having a textbook depressive episode like in a Lifetime Special, and I think the absurdity of being such a dang NPC about it helped me resurface. Since then I've managed to be mostly ok. I'm trying hard t...

Let me in!

Class was frustrating today, but still good. Saturday classes are always a tough sell, taking two hours of a college student's weekend is like demanding they give up a finger in the name of education. So, of course, attendance is starting to become a problem. Nothing completely show-stopping, but 6 ...

Another banner day

Not much going on. Still a little shook by the random drunken threats and insane poorly spelled insults my ex father in law saw fit to text me the other night. Having a little trouble getting comfortable after that, and having to teach last night and act like everything was ok delayed my processing ...

When you're job puts your car in road trip mode every day

Summers are nice, but also awful. On one hand, I get a break from teaching, I can re-boot and get my car tidied up, driving less and not always having a trash bag and goodies in the passenger seat to tide me over. On the other hand, I miss out on a good pay check for three months, and it's so... dan...

Concentration and having too much to do

It's getting more and more difficult to line things up and check them off every day. I've been really enjoying some of the new apps I've picked up for this new assignment, but it always seems like I'm just incapable of getting to everything. Simple stuff like dusting and dishes are starting to feel ...

D&D and the mysterious bunny swordsman

The Sunday night game went off without a hitch again. Rocky's wife is about to burst so we didn't know for sure if he'd be in baby mode tonight or not, but we got one more session in before his big day. It'll be strange not playing Jim's story for a while, but the new character that will be in Kenda...

Journaling is hard

Two entries in and I'm already falling behind! It's funny how hard just keeping a few things straight in your head can be, especially when your schedule is an inconsistent nightmare of commuting and side work. Ah well, since I missed yesterday, I'll be putting in two journals today. Time to get ba...
