Attempts
I have tried to write a post this month on numerous occasions. I open the window, stare at the blank page, get distracted by something, try to refocus, stare some more at the screen but eventually abandon the effort closing the window. Is it because I don’t have anything to say? No. I could probably…

Ugh
June was disappointing, well not the month itself but it encompassed a bunch of disappointing/irritating occurrences so yeah… The second half of 2023 kicks off tomorrow and I could use some more positive happenings for the next six months. I think the whole world could really. I’ve tuned my news feeds dramatically to avoid being…

Grrr
This photo is like a visualization of my feelings this month. Vascilating between Grrr and Meh in equal measure. Work stresses, exhaustion and just some ennui have meant that for this month and most of the previous twelve or so (not sure how many but assume a lot) I’ve been generally ranty or miserable company.…

July Is Over
I was dreading July this year. It would mark a year since my step-father’s death. I wasn’t sure how anyone would handle it.

Knock Knock
This is not the start of a joke. This is the sound that seems to be waking me from sleep, or dreams I guess, in a reoccurring and sporadic manner. From a deep sleep I will suddenly be woken up as if someone has just knocked on something very near to me. There is no…

Maybe, Maybe Not
I’ve decided it’s okay if I don’t post every day. I am going to try but right now there is too much happening with work and life that I don’t want to feel bad for not being able to come up with content. I feel like I should have things to say and I probably…

Inhale, Exhale
I’m in accounting and by its nature you spend your time doing the same things at the same time every year. There is both stability and irritation in this. Stability because you know what’s coming and you know you’ve gotten through the hectic time before so this time shouldn’t be any different. Irritation because it…

Ways To Keep Me Up Past Bedtime
Extreme weather TV shows (documentary) Extreme weather movies Started watching a TV show about extreme storm chasers, two hours past when I was going to head to bed and I’m still watching. Oh well, maybe if I stay up late enough I’ll be tired enough to sleep tonight. Instead of last night when I tossed…
