We are now halfway through the month of November, which means Nanowrimo is halfway over with. This is the first time I’ve been this far ahead and it’s a nice change for me. As of this writing, I’m sitting at 36,583 words and par is 26,672. I’m almost 10k words…
New purchase
The cold is blowing in tonight. It was in the eighties earlier today and by the time I got off of work, the temperature had dropped to the fifties. It’s forty-five now, with temps forecasted to be in the thirties by dawn. There’s also the possibility of snow early next week. Welcome to late October … Continue reading
My Wonderfully Mundane Weekend
It’s been a wonderful weekend. Too bad it had to end so soon. It always seems to end much sooner than I would like, and the week seems to drag on. At least this weekend was rather enjoyable and relaxing, if a little boring at times. It was, I admit, what I needed. I spent … Continue reading
Sunday Stefday
Sunday is about over, and probably will be by the time I post this. Tomorrow begins another work week and I’m not ready for it. I just don’t have the energy for it. I enjoy my Stefani time. Yesterday (Saturday) I went with a friend to Quartz Mountain Nature Park in Oklahoma and did some … Continue reading
2020 and the New Normal
It’s hard to write when things are going well. It’s when things fall apart that the urge to scribble out my thoughts becomes a necessity, a way to deal with the stress and organize my thoughts.

Roller coaster ride

It’s just not for me. I hate that feeling in the pit of my stomach, that feeling of freefall that … Continue reading

Another year older
Friday is my birthday, and another year has passed me by. I will have gone around the star we call the Sun for the forty-fourth time, and I find myself alone, living in a small apartment, wondering where things went wrong. Perhaps the reality is that everything went right, and this is where I’m supposed … Continue reading
Becoming healthy
The diet’s going well. Pardon, my health plan is going well. I went to the doctor’s this past Monday for a routine physical. I had made this appointment prior to the coronavirus break out, and I had expected the doctor to cancel it outright, but after one postponement, I was in his office getting checked … Continue reading
Rambling Thoughts from Self-Isolation
Welcome to the new normal. A month ago, it would have been unheard of that we would be in this predicament, self-isolating, businesses closing, unemployment rising. The Federal Government is sending out stimulus checks, the first since 2008, to try and prop up the economy. Personally, I bought a television and got hooked up to … Continue reading
