it's a convoluted mess
It’s after six in the morning. I haven’t slept. The in-laws are supposed to be coming over right around the time Bob has to leave for work so his dad can beat Joel the Obstinate and Cursed Jetta (TM) into submission. Or hook up his battery charger. Whichever. It’s Monday. I’ve been working on a story project for the past few months that is a very slow slog. I am actually quite in-like with what… Keep reading…Been off that track…
The only light connecting me to where you are… I don’t know how many different posts I’ve started and deleted lately. I feel the overwhelming need to write something, but…I got nothin’. Nothing coherent, at least. No, no. Less coherent than usual. It’s four-something in the morning and…guess who’s not sleeping? I had a few nights in a row in bed at least.

I.) I went to bed at a normal time. I even slept. And then my bladder rudely woke me up and…here I sit. Not sleeping. Whatever. II.) We went grocery shopping and I’m pretty sure my face split in half and fell off my skull between the store and the car. SO. EFFING. COLD. III.)

Welp… It’s that time again… 2015 is “The Year of the Sheep”…SOMEBODY is very excited. — 2011 was “The Year of the House.” 2012 was “The Year of the Denver Road Trip…and Andy Grammer.” 2013 was “The Year of…apparently if it ain’t one thing, it’s another, fucking Christ.” 2014 was The Year of the Phantom Smoke Stench Dear GOD MAKE IT STOP… This year started off terribly and it took a long time to dig… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2014…
