Because not enough has gone wrong, now I’m experiencing pretty much constant pain from (probably) tendonitis in my right shoulder and arm. I’ve switched to using my left hand for anything I can, but some things require my right hand, e.g. shifting gears in my car. I would have gone to the doctor two weeks [...]
I just had another birthday. I tried my best to avoid it, but it turns out it’s impossible to stop time.
There’s only one person who I really wanted to hear from on that day, but I would be surprised if she remembered the occasion or cared even if she did.
The cats have completely turned around in the last few weeks. For almost a year, they ignored me. Finally, though, they like me again. The boys make it a point to demand attention every evening. My big fuzzy boy will climb into my lap while the short haired boy will pace around at my feet, [...]

I start my new job tomorrow morning, so of course I have a nasty cold today. If I had some of my wife’s awesome chicken soup I wouldn’t have a problem. Unfortunately, I have to settle for canned soup, orange juice, and over-the-counter cold medicine.
It’s just not the same.
I added keyword blocking to comment posting. It is now (theoretically) impossible to post a comment with the real names of any of the involved parties. The comment will simply vanish without warning.
Many months ago when I moved out for the temporary separation we worked out an agreement in which I would provide my wife with a certain amount of money to pay the bills. I tried to stress that it was important that we both limited our expenditures as money would be tight while we maintained [...]
