It’s a Friday night. Good things have happened. We’ve made a little progress on the house, getting ready to go back on the market. I passed a certification exam today. Took care of some business at the bank. Picked up goodies for tomorrow’s gaming session with the crew in Topeka. I passed a certification exam. …

Day 19,644
Let me just get this out there for anybody that actually reads my blog posts, and I do realize there are very few out there that do. If you and I are hanging out, and something spectacular happens, that’s great. But… If you ask me about the best way to memorialize the moment, and I …

Day 19,643
I hate it when things happen that upset my wife. I love her, I care about her, and I want her world to be free of worry, anxiety, and pain. I want to make all of the bad things go away, and her world to be full of only the most beautiful things. I dream …

Day 19,642
I love my wife. I want my wife to be happy. Right now my wife is not happy. That means I’m not happy. We had an inspection of our home today, as part of the process of getting the house ready for a prospective buyer. Last month, as part of our plan to make our …

Day 19,641
Today I’m struggling a bit. There are any number of things that I think I would like to post about, but I’m not sure it would be wise if I posted on certain subjects right now. I always have something to say about the current administration, but I figure drawing attention is unnecessary. There’s an …

Day 19,640
Sometimes you are in the flow, sometimes you aren’t. So, I’m watching the old Metallica documentary “Some Kind of Monster” and I’m watching the drama. I’m watching Lars pounding out fractionally rhythmic percussion riffs, Hetfield being Hetfield, and Kirk being the coolest guy in the band because somebody has the coolest guy in the band. My …

Day 19,638
As part of my #WriteChain pledge, I’ve sort of made a promise to write 200 words per day and keep my blog up to date. I’m kind of taken aback that I have yet to write “200 words” and made that count. There’s the little ways of cheating where I could say, hey, I’m averaging two …

Day 19,637
Kind of crazy sometimes how fast things can change. We put our house on the market last month, and we accepted an offer the other day. Today, we put an offer on the house we’ve had our eye on for some time. The offer was accepted a few hours ago. We’re getting new digs. Wife …

Day 19,636
I am not at my best when I am tired. That might be my understatement of the year. I get apathetic and grumpy, and I don’t snap out of it right away. It just becomes a really good day to avoid how I really feel on social media, as I end up saying things that …
