He left her a note on the bed.
I have to go.
Have a good life.
Don’t look for me.
He told me stories about his past. He used to slam down shots of whiskey before working in the mines in Kentucky. Just a paycheck away from being homeless, he always had cash for the drink. He traveled the [...]

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Half written posts clog up a section of Wordpress -  the “manage” section. This probably doesn’t mean a damn thing to you, but I save some sites there, or story ideas and whatnot. The problem is, there are a lot of half-finished posts just sitting in digital purgatory. Some are rants. Others, just incomplete thoughts. [...]

I don’t nap often. I can’t slow down enough to get my mind to rest without the help of my meds. If you are curious, and I know you are, I don’t take sleeping pills. But sleep without chemical help remains an impossibility unless I am very exhausted. I was tired yesterday. I took a [...]

Christmas passed. I kept my phone on silent on purpose. No offense to anyone, but I didn’t feel like talking. This happens every year. I quietly mourn the loss of my idealistic Christmas memorys as they fade further, losing their sharp edges, becoming nothing more than a blurry light in the shadow of my mind. [...]

I am still plagued with cramps and a bad attitude about work. The cure? Coffee and NPR. Then there will be podcasts and a little Love and Rockets and later a trip to Target to return those nifty pants I bought last night. And I lost the receipt. I look forward to arguing with them [...]

I really wanted a coffee last night, right around 8. Bad idea. Mania has plagued me for days and adding coffee just would have prolonged the effect. Or even worse , upped the effects, where I live in a world of run-on sentences and lots of commas but absolutely no periods or semicolons because that’s [...]

D and I walked the boys last night. There’s a house, pink and boxy, where a beagle lived. The parents, a husky man with a quick smile and a woman with a delicate frame, marveled at our boys. Their beagle didn’t like other dogs, lease of all ours. But I remember those chocolate eyes within [...]

The weekend was too short. I am sure that many people feel that way, but my Sunday felt too colored by blue. D and I tried to combat that by going to the Aloma Cinema and Grill (not a bad place to see a movie!) for a little Casino Royale action. Frankie mentioned the uneven [...]

On Friday a letter arrived. My birthdaughter’s script decorated the pink envelope. Strange. I hadn’t heard from her in months. The letter’s contents disturbed me. She’ turning 13 in January and struggling through adolescent stresses. Friends and boyfriends. Parents who seem to be working against her. It’s not uncommon for her to rail against her [...]

Last night I muddled through another grammar class. It’s been hell and I feel like I’m not getting it. We were writing sentence examples on the board. Dr. Laws asked me to write one of my examples. There were comments on my handwriting. Well, they were compliments. I informed the class that my handwriting masked [...]

When: Saturday, October 28th - 9:00ish ****I had to fix the date ****
Why: Carving pumpkins and drinking Shipyard Pumpkin ale
What to bring: One punkin, a chair (we are out of lawn chairs)
D and I are going to supply happy vegetarian snacks (Sorry Anne, no hot dogs this time! some shipyard ale, cutting tools, garbage [...]

I am not hiding anything on this blog. I fill the pixels with TMI, emotive responses and concerns. I remind my dear readers of my mantra “If you come, you read, but I don’t justify.”
Oops – I wrote a whole part about something very embarrassing that happened to me, but I deleted it. Some things [...]

If you look on the left side of my page –pointing all flight attendant-like– you will see the updated meebome widget-thingy. They updated it so that you can now choose the colors and the size. Now it blends rather than distracts. Oh, and if you choose to IM me through this - please rename the [...]

So, I’m out of bananas. Not a catastrophic thing, but very annoying. I didn’t really have enough for the afternoon smoothie, so I used a mosty rip unfrozen one. That didn’t have the same effect and made the smoothie watery. Fuck. And I had a back-up plan for the morning smoothie, but I still don’t [...]

I’m taking it in stride, the emotional, scholarly and physical challenges that have been cropping up. I don’t trust anything right now. School is fucking with my head (I ran out of money from the Stafford loan and have to borrow additional monies outside of school) and the continue limbo with my grade really makes [...]

I started this some months ago, but I finished it today…obviously it was meant to be bisected by time and experience.
What is it worth? This bind comes from an accidental consequence. Then, for a lifetime, we are family. But what does that bond allow? And is walking away from yet another family member wise? No [...]

I don’t know why, but when I said that last night, I amused the hell out of myself. D and I got phones and a new cell provider last night. He opted for the smooth and spacy Razr, and I got the Pebl. The round, smooth shape got me. That, and I could get the [...]

I had this seriously twisted dream that Tali made D break up with me so that they could date. She ordered me out of my own home (it was some strange apartment that I’ve never lived in during the waking world) and then they went off to take a shower. David hung a note on [...]

My birthday bash is going to be delayed in order to help out a friend in need. We are going to get together at Babbo’s for dinner on August 5th. Then we are going to the booby-bar. Now, if you plan on going, let me know a little early as we are going to have [...]
