The baby went to daycare today and I was able to catch up on some much needed rest. Everything has basically been a blur for the last week and it will still take a minute for me to get my bearing and figure out what’s happening in life now. There’s a phrase in my headContinue reading “23 January 2024”

Bit by bit we climb the mountain, there are places to stop for a rest and we can’t even see the top. There’s an expression people would say in running that if you look at the ground that’s where you’re headed. There are some people who get discouraged when they see others succeeding, worse ifContinue reading “5 January 2024”

Since the holidays I’ve been sleeping in in the mornings until the baby wakes up, recovering sleep and the Winter makes it hard to operate before sunrise. Today is also the first day of push ups, exercise had to take a back seat for the last month while things were hectic. While traveling, packing, andContinue reading “4 January 2024”

A new phrase I heard was “trad life”, pronounced with a hard “A” sound being short for traditional though. Norm McDonald had a joke that the word “cis” was a way to marginalize an otherwise normal person and it’s the same case here.

People were posting about how their year was, this has been one of the wilder years I’ve had inContinue reading “New Year’s Day 2024”
Christmas 2023
Today marks the birth of our savior; 2023 years ago. Have humans come far enough in that time? I like to say we’re preparing the Earth for the second coming of Jesus. 2023 years later we’re still celebrating his birth, the second coming is looking to the future. The world should look a certain wayContinue reading “Christmas 2023”

Freud said everything is connected to everything. It’s a simple phrase that offers continued insight. The same is true for humans, no man is a mountain, we depend on the support of those around us and our decisions have consequences that can echo for generations. I am trying to build something that my support systemContinue reading “21 December 2023”

The future is me, I had to turn away from some current events to keep my self image pure. We went in search of houses last weekend, the travels went as well as we could hope with only one slight emergency. No one needed to go to the hospital and we found a house weContinue reading “18 December 2023”

While running at the gym this week, I had to stop to catch my breath. Ok, I probably didn’t “have to”, but I was feeling sluggish and it’s better to be healthy with slow improvements than attempt a big feat and be on the disabled list for a couple days. After my breather, I gotContinue reading “13 December 2023”
