2:58 AM (of Friday, December 30th 2022) Today is Thursday, December 29th 2022 and wow is the year going by fast. Today is just another day and that nothing happened today, at least that's what it seems like, but a whole lot actually happened today. Yesterday (Wednesday) Greta Thunberg responded to...
FINISHED MY VISION BOARD FOR 2023 HERE IT IS
We walk through a heavy mist, sometimes seeing the next step before us... sometimes not. Peril all around, each misstep could be our last. How fortunate we are to hear the man on the screen, leading us safely through the maze-like chamber. Not everyone has such an advantage. Those in the back can't...
What a great Christmas we had this year!! No arguments at either household, everyone except Lone Wolf* was present, everyone except mom was well (she was recovering from a cold), and a generally festive mood all around! I don't think we could've asked for much more than that! God surely blessed us t...
3:43 AM (of Sunday, December 25th 2022) Today is Saturday, December 24th 2022 and so much has happened lately. It's unbelievable. I need to really keep on track here and start writing in my journal daily again because I am having a hard time recalling everything. So on Wednesday the 14th, I think ...
It’s warm in the kitchen in the morning sun. I don’t entirely understand how this works. Obviously the sun warms things up. But my thermostat is set to a constant 65 degrees. I would expect the sun’s warmth to reduce the burden on my furnace, meaning it has to expend less fuel to maintain the same t...
The room is dark, the house is quiet, the cushions are in place. I sit. "One" feeling the breath go in. And out. "Tw- wait, is my arm numb?" "Am I having a heart attack?" "No no, that's the nerve damage again" "Two" The breath goes - "But if it is a heart attack and I ignore it-" "I SAID TWO" The...
There was a time when I was a brilliant software engineer. It was my pride. My obsession. I didn't care about money or approval, I just wanted to spend all day mastering my craft. Nerdy long before it was cool. But when I broke my wrist 3 years ago, I got some nerve damage which is getting worse ov...
Rare footage of me leaving the house before noon on a non-office, non-raid day. We’re having a winter storm this afternoon, so I figured I’d better take my daily walk before the rush. Serious business. It’s 30 degrees right now, but it’s supposed to plunge to -8 overnight. The office is officially c...
How many times have I tried to escape? Too many. But now I am free, and relearning how to exist. It is a constant struggle. A joyous, merry, difficult struggle. And I would not trade it for anything. As I type this, I am being pursued. My familiar cage awaits. 72 hours this time; a new record. Was...
A boy warrior quietly sits down for dinner, weapon strapped to his shoulder. Calm, but resolute. "Why so stiff?" Asks the father. He responds "Because even if I win out here...", he gestures to the kingdom, "They only strike within imagination. Fortunately that is the realm in which my weapon ...
Most often than not we tend to preach the things we learn that has help us, But we are forgetting something! We are forgetting that the reason we learn those skills was because we are seeking it, and that is why we fully understand what ever it is that we learn, it won't be the same to those who we ...
