Two Of A Kind

I’m tired. It’s been a long day… and sometimes I get frustrated at how I’m worn out with very short drives now. Used to zip all over the place with little problem. But now… so much energy is needed for concentration that if I do have to drive longer than 30 minutes, I feel like… Continue reading

Water From The Moon

@1:01AM, November 20, 2023 Once again, we’re pulling a near all-nighter. I also just realize that I forgot to take my nerve medication. Doggone it! After this brief snippet, I’ll go do that. I went ahead and plowed through the first chapter of C&R III. I’m uncertain if I’ll keep it as a short or… Continue reading

Secondhand Emotions

I remember I said before that I was feeling the strain? I’m really feeling it now. A hunk of my personal life has taken a backseat to NanoWrimo… and that makes me very sad to admit. I’ve decided that this will likely be my last Nano… it’s just too much pressure on my joints. I… Continue reading

Missing You

I personally think that a collaboration between Kenny G and Michel Bolton is a wonderful thing. Really… a collab between Kenny G and anyone else is gonna be good. Now then… on NTC, I’m on page 19 of Chapter 19. Ha! Just two more new chapters after this one. I was worried at first that… Continue reading

Where We Used To Be

Time… for some terrible reason always seems to escape me! I know that’s probably due to my attempt to do things in here. Like cooking dinner and some fresh potato chip! I guess I didn’t cook the chips long enough. They were more like flat baked potatoes. Still tasted good though. Having the same problem… Continue reading

The Nameless Wonder

So… I didn’t get out that 5K I planned on for NtC, but I did get close to 3K, which puts me sort of back on track. The last ten days of this month are going to drag on forever… I keep thinking about what I’ll do next month. I know for a certainty that… Continue reading

Busted

I think the title listed here is the perfect way to describe today. Firstly, I felt like I wasn’t even in my own body and thought everything around me had slowed down for 30 seconds. It’s scary and funny at the same time. Because when I thought everything was moving slow, I was in the… Continue reading

Diminished Returns

Today was rough. I started feeling a bit “off” last night. Then today… another memorial service for another friend. It’s painful because this was an older gentleman, and he died a week after his son’s memorial service. Then another friend’s father died. And someone else lost their sister… When I got home, instead of doing… Continue reading

Wisdom Most Rotten

Right now, I’m trying to be lighter on my tendons… though to be fair—I’ve had a lot I needed to do with my hands today. I have maybe another 150 words or so until my writing for NtC is done for today. But… and this is a big but… aside from my actual posterior in… Continue reading

No Need To Get Up For Me

So… it’s the 15th, and I’m feeling the strain… or rather my joints are feeling the strain. It could also be general fatigue. I put in some serious effort to at least having a somewhat normal dinner at a decent hour. I succeeded, but since cooking for me takes so long… as I really enjoy… Continue reading
