Journal Entry #115: Is It Really the Holiday Season? This Week Already?

12/20/2021

Life, Writing

It really doesn’t feel like the holiday season. The only reason I know it’s December is because my feet and hands are cold along with my nose. I’m drinking more hot tea and my hands are even drier due to the wind. I didn’t think it was possible because my skin gets even more grotesque

Life, Poetry

These are the kind of poems and messages I needed today. I feel like doing many things today and yet, I’m having a hard time dealing with my blurry vision (caused by my allergies and probably other circumstances I need to pay more attention to). It’s funny how quickly a life can stay in idle

Life, Writing

I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth although it feels like it. My emotions have been all over place since being laid off. Let’s just say I sort of knew it was coming, but when it did, it still felt like a gut punch. I thought I would be retiring at my now

Life, Writing

With the recent news of me being laid off due to COVID, I took a few days to myself to digest the information. It’s easy to freak out after losing a job, but there is comfort in knowing I’m not the only one. There are millions of others that lost their jobs, way before I

Life, Random Thoughts

January seemed to drag on for me. I got done with work today and didn’t want to do much after it. I went shopping for a few things, realized every one is condensing their movie sections in stores, and bought some Legos on a whim. I’m missing having a dog around or any animal for

You what word I can’t stand today? It’s the word “woke.” Former President Barack Obama stated his opinion where telling someone s/he did something wrong is not activism or brings about change. People are way too much on Twitter and whatever other social media platform they use to tell others to “get woke.” Please spare

Health, Life, Writing

For the last two weeks, I’ve been out of sorts and going through the motions of work without much going on except medical crap. What I thought was a routine CT scan of my sinuses, to try to get some relief since I’ve been dealing with this what feels like forever, the radiologist wanted me

Journal Entry Type #14: How Do We Get Back To Normal? Was There Ever One? How Do We Get There? What Will 2020 Look Like?

Life, Politics, U.S. Government

I’m writing this because there are a few people in my life who I consider mentors, but sometimes we fall very opposite when it comes to politics. There is one in particular who has helped me grow and still does, but unlike me who never voted for the second George Bush, either time, she did.

Let’s Talk About Anxiety I recently asked someone if I’m more obsessive compulsive or anxious. Why? Because I tend not to think of myself as anxious. I’ve gone through most of my life having other emotions, the run of the mill along with some that stems from what happened to me a long time ago,

Third Journal Entry Type: I’m a homebody. I usually don’t leave the apartment except to exercise and grocery shop. Otherwise than this, you can find me sitting on my futon reading or coloring. Or, if I’m being really lazy on my bed watching TV, Netflix, or Hulu. Or, maybe taking a short walk to get

Life, New Year Resolutions, Random Thoughts

This is sort of my first journal type entry I’ve been wanting to do more of so here it is. I find myself doing a lot of inner dialogue concerning my life. It’s easy to get into a rhythm of head space and personal demands. It’s been a weird time of wanting more, but being
