  • Yesterday I had a call from a screener for one job and an interview at another. I went into the day hoping something would work out between the two, as I usually do, though it never happens. Well, it happened yesterday. The screen call went well and I’m waiting to see if they contact me…

  • Distractions!

    Indeed, distractions. Heh. I’ve been meaning to come back to this for the last 6 months(!) but life has kept me busy in a lot of ways. And of course I do this without checking my laptop battery and find it’s down to around 10%, so this won’t be a super long post, but I…

  • Distractions – prelude

    Hello folks, I’ve been wanting to do some writing here for awhile now, but life has kept me busy. Thankfully, that’s over now in a big way and now I can focus on things like here again, which is interesting for the fact of the topic. I’ve been thinking about distractions and the things we…

  • This might end up being a long post, but it’s something that’s been forming in my mind the last couple of days because of how my brain has played out, processing everything. So here I go, listening to 80’s music and up past my bedtime for the second night in a row, though certainly not…

  • Today’s Prompt

    This is an easy answer for me and one I was contemplating because of the weekend and such. Mountain Dew has never had a bad flavor in my opinion. I try special flavors anytime I see them, no matter what, because it’s Mountain Dew and I want to experience what they came out with. My…

  • Happiness in a dollar sign

    As I wind down tonight, I find myself compelled to write a short-ish entry rather than change my address or apply to the local community college like I should be doing, all because I have this phrase I have stuck in my brain that I used earlier. “I buy things to show that I matter…

  • 2026 Outlook, Part 2

    So this week I started a new job, at a car wash of all things, in the dead of winter when everyone’s trying to wash the salt and grime off their cars in the Midwest, and so far, it’s been going fine. I actually got out early today because of how nasty the cold is…

  • Prompt: 5 things I do for fun

    List five things you do for fun. So I figured I’d do the prompt today., because why not change it up a little. A runner up for fun because it’s infrequent but still fun is decorating/redecorating/refreshing one’s space. It’s never a good thing to get too comfy with where you habitate, and it IS a…

  • So it’s almost 2:30, I forgot my sleep meds, and I’ve got an active mind. It’s hyperfocused on a couple of different subjects, one with a positive swing and one with a negative. Guess which subject I’m going for. Quick backstory – me and my brother had a talk back in the fall about things…

  • 2026 Outlook, Part One (?)

    A couple of days ago I made a lengthy chain of messages on Bluesky and realized I should share it here, with some extra nuance and insight here and there. So, without further ado… I was waiting for John to come back from a meeting so we could head out to have a late lunch/early…
