• #totw58 – a reality to come to terms with

  September 18, 2019

  This year, I've had to struggle with a lot of realities that shouldn't be.  I understand that life is not fair, and no one said it was going to be.  But I'm a virgo, and virgos have incredibly heightened senses of justice.  We want things to be fair and equitable, and for justice to be…

• Loss and gain

  April 22, 2019

  I've had bad pet luck for the past year or so.  In the fall, we realized that our old girl Ashe had cancer.  We ended up putting her down in October/November.  In January, we lost our 14 year old bearded dragon, Rascal.  Today, we lost our new bearded dragon - the one that we had…

• Hello, New Year.

  January 8, 2019

  I'm feeling a strange sense of dedication, commitment and drive lately.  It's not the typical "it's a new-year-new-you" feeling that is going to wear off in another week or so.  The three week break from school was invigorating, and classes started up again yesterday.  I've committed to staying a...

• Permanence

  October 24, 2018

  In my entire life, through all of my previous relationships, I was always looking for permanence. It's a funny thing, though.  If you're looking for it, or worried about it, the truth is you don't have it.  It's only when you recognize that years have past without a second thought to how long som...

  September 27, 2018

  It's gotten to the point that I dread coming home.  It's not that I want to stay at work, or bury myself in homework to the point that I forget there's a home to go to.  It's not that I don't miss my wife, my comfy bed, pajamas and a marvel series on netflix to…

  September 27, 2018

  they turn like wheels relentless rolling along like they have a destination and a purpose threatening to roll right over anything in their path. I'm watching the changing tides seeing the symptoms and recognizing that while everything begins everything also ends and it will soon be time to say go...

  Sometimes I think that my reality isn't real, and that I'm just a figment of someone else's imagination.  There would really be no way to know.  If that is the case, however, I'm pretty certain that I'm someone else's nightmare villain.  Sorry about that.

• I did it

  April 24, 2018

  This week feels both surreal and bittersweet.  For the first time in over 4 years, I do not have to go home to school work.  I do not have an additional book to read.  I do not have research to compile, complete and take notes on.  I do not have a paper off in the…

• Hard to Believe

  April 6, 2018

  It's hard to believe that in only two more weeks of school, I will be a college graduate after 20 long years.  I started this journey over again back in 2013, and I have plodded through years of school one class at a time while juggling a full time job, a marriage and a life. …
