EDITED: Draft two

EDITED: I may never get the hang of editing. Adding 1500 words to a 3900 word document should have taken less time by a factor of four, not more by a factor of four! Here is draft two, and I think this is becoming a complete telling. However, many appointments are missing from the timeline that needed to be added still, plus all PT programs should be added, and chiropractors, medications and…

Catalyst

As the cover photo, I included the current working design of my next tattoo, what do you think? I tried something different this year, and I wrote unpublished which kind of felt like taking off. In any case, I’m almost ready to resume my adventure in daily public writing and the hardest part will be trying to figure out how to write that first post back at the daily grind… Will I have to describe…

Fin?

What does that make you think of first? To me, I think of Finland, then usually to the two or three things that I think I know about the country (certainly reinforced by my repetitions of recall.) Cold, high taxes, high service, guaranteed minimum income, low infant mortality, Scandinavian-cold. When those thoughts don’t seem to align with the concept being presented to me, my mind goes into a…

The mouth

If you asked me a few days ago, I’m not quite sure what I would have said (other than what I have written here,) yet I wasn’t really sure if I would pass all of my classes. I was somewhat worried I wouldn’t pass enough to qualify for continued federal aid next semester. Now again, as before, I don’t need the federal aid as the state program would substitute the fund necessary for everything…

Email: PSY recovery

Thank you for opening the assignments, I have submitted several more assignments. My intention is to pass this class with at least a 2.0 gpa. Per that, I have sought a syllabus so that I might know what grading scale is being used (is a C grade a 70, 72, or 75%,) and if a final exam is to be expected to appear as no syllabus precludes or defines it. In my current situation, if I then receive top…

The foot

Let’s just say (ha,) the foot of the bed is not always a bad thing… It really depends on what you make of it. Let’s just.. let’s not, rather next I’ll say that Soulless is well adapting “life on the farm”, for as far as that analogy can go for a dog growing up on a small city lot. He seems to have a better circadian rhythm that I do and perhaps a better sense of timing. I recently learned that…

Different

Some things are different, some are the same, and some are both. <break> Hmm.. The title, photo, and first line started a couple days ago, and now, I have no idea what I was going to write about. As for the ideas in my mind now… I’m deciding if I want to take PSY a fourth time, or.. push out ten large papers for the class this weekend. Apparently accompanying the lack of a syllabus, is the lack…

Writing

I do need to write more, I think I’m missing some good stories. Yesterday was a great day. On week twelve, PSY teacher has found markers that work or has finally decided to bring his own. I should have written last week as he did step up his game a bit. He had reviewed his slides previous to class, stood in front of his classroom and addressed them as he spoke to them about the information behind…

A Catchy Title

This morning I had a few problems, this evening I still have a few problems, and I also have started and finished 20231128_ENG-132_the-problem-paper.pdf . I had attempted the paper twice already- 1500 words wasted– No, no I won’t. They’ll be saved here on the Macbook, to be retrieved and published at some far distant date when I’ve otherwise run out of words for a given day perhaps… The first…

The Problem Paper

Oh, do the words still flow? Yes, that gift is still here, yet… Words have not been flowing. Where to start? This morning? Okay, that can work for now. Well, maybe last night. Watched the last full movie in film class, a horror movie called “Nope”. For a horror movie (a genre I feel almost forced to have gained a new respect for,) it wasn’t so bad and it had more than a few redeeming features.…

Gratitude

This would be far from the first time I’ve mentioned a meat lovers omelette from the BZB and apart from supersizing it (Candy’s answer to ‘how much more meat can you put into for an extra $5’,) I didn’t really think there was anyway that it could be much better than it already is. Literally, it’s already smothered in gravy. Then the day before Thanksgiving I decided I would treat myself to this…

Now what?

Yes, I’ve asked that before; here I am, asking again. I wish I could say I wondered if the purpose of life had changed, likely it hasn’t.  Perhaps, the change has only been in my perception of the future. Yesterday or maybe the day before, I bought a gallon of milk that expires in December. December of 2023. Two weeks ago, I sorted then laundered a basket of clothes that had been waiting for me…

Challenge

Today was a good day, ever so slightly better than yesterday- not excelling in any single metric other than perhaps a feeling of ‘continuity’. A day when many threads came to wattle together to add to the pattern. A day with more characters and more people- not in gross number, but rather more of each person as they chose to share. Also, a day that leaves me with a variety of questions. First…

Trying

Habits. A lot comes down to having good habits and good routines. Writing must be one of those for me. I certainly had a flow going, yet without looking back, I think that seemed to drop off about the time I got the puppy. Mostly just a correlation that, however, the pup does take up a lot of time. Not in a bad way at all, it just takes time to do the things with the pup that I like to do.…

Working out

Slowly, I’m going to have to catch up on the backstory. A whole missing month- some people might begin to wonder… I have missed nearly a month (or more?) of writing, yet I haven’t missed much of the story, maybe just abbreviated it a bit. Obviously, I could never go back day for day, and well, honestly, I wouldn’t want to, that would be a lot of work, even if I could! Honestly, right now, I’m…

Should I?

I’m kind of sad.  Very happy that I’m feeling better, thinking wholly, and getting stronger. However, there seem to be downsides. I think in my last post I used the word bitter- I’m half guessing as it was so long along ago I’m not sure if it was the last post or the one before it. In any case, feeling better is good. It’s much easier to naturally think less about feeling bad this way. Two months…

Next first kiss

A proper bit of writing? Well, I do miss it (to some extent,) though let’s just say there have always been pros and cons and at times, more pros have appeared. By nature then, at times more cons would appear. A detraction. Five weeks past the release of my nerve from my knee, a year tomorrow from the release of the same nerve, entrapped within the socket of my left leg. Reflecting- so precisely-…
