“I love you, but…,” Tara began before she faltered. She knew it would be difficult, but she had prepared for this moment. No she didn’t know if she could go through with it, but also knew it was now too late to back out. “What do you mean?” Lenny interrupted her, his forehead furrowed. His […] … Continue reading

It’s only Tuesday
I’m sitting here on my lunch break, counting down the minutes until I have to clock back in. I’d say I’m not looking forward to going back, but the rest of the day looks as though it should be rather quiet. Besides, I only have three more hours until quitting time. Yes! It’s better in … Continue reading
Not my number
I have a coworker who dresses up everyday to go to work. I’ve always admired them for their courage in doing so. It’s not an easy thing to do living in conservative enclave that is Amarillo. It’s not as though I haven’t thought about it. I have. I’ve even had other coworkers ask me why … Continue reading
Another year
I’m not getting any younger. Come Wednesday, I’ll be another year older, and I can feel the years creeping up on me. It’s not entirely unpleasant, except I’m not as limber and agile as I once was. Also my sight isn’t what it used to be. Also I ache more. I don’t seem to bounce … Continue reading

Looking up in 2019
It’s already February of 2019. I haven’t made a post since November. Almost three months have passed, and though there has been a few times I wanted to write something, I just haven’t done so. I completed and won Nanowrimo for the eighth time. That no longer means so much to me. She has made … Continue reading
Giving thanks
Thanksgiving is less than a week away. Are you ready? For me, working in retail, it’s all about getting ready for the next big event. Right now I’m focused on getting ready for Black Friday, the greatest of American retail holidays. The public will descend en masse to take advantage of the great values retailers … Continue reading
No time for me
I’m nearing the end of a week-long overnight work week and I’m feeling the strain. As a department supervisor, I have to go overnight to do some organizing in my department, something we do twice a year, once at the beginning of the spring season, and after summer ends. It’s a glorious task! I’m kidding. … Continue reading
