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…
It started with a song. (Give Me Something by O.A.R.) Then another one. (Gonna Get Better by Better Than Ezra) Then a third. (Lincoln Avenue by Train) And a fourth. (Get in the Car and Drive by Blu Sanders) I had all of these independent ideas running around in my head and I had no idea what to do with them.

This morning as the neighbors were loading into the car to go to school, I noticed the mother speaking at a human volume with a pleasant tone. Then I realized… Keep reading…Wrecking ball came crashing through…

In all that time the internet was down, I kept trying to access the internet, frustrated that I couldn’t check in on my usual haunts. When the internet came back up and I opened Firefox, I realized I should have just stayed off the fucking internet. BECAUSE SERIOUSLY. Instead of internet…(and… Keep reading…Nothing but time…
I am attempting fajitas in the crockpot for dinner. Sheep is dubious and would like to just go back to bed. Thanks for the support, critter. Appreciate it. Yesterday I was laying in bed with my laptop—as I do—and I felt like I was falling forward despite not actually moving. I also had considerable tingling in my fingers and buzzing in my foot. Later I felt as though I was suspended in Jello. (Why is… Keep reading…It’s already hard enough…
