Family ties to technology

I didn't have a good weekend. It rained all day Saturday and we were running around all day Sunday because it was Mother's Day. Of course the daughter decided that Sunday would be a day she would grind against the grain of everyone else and, as much as I love her, single-handedly ruined an otherwise … Continue reading Family ties to technology

I'm ready for a vacation

The last few months I've become painfully aware of one truth that I had, for years, denied myself from believing. It's the truth that unless something drastically changes in the lives of my family, we're going to forever be owing money to other people. Mortgage loan servicers, credit card companies, auto financiers, utility companies, insurance … Continue reading I'm ready for a vacation

Off my game and cranky

I've soooooooo been off my game lately. Not that I'm complaining per say, but it's starting to get a little ridiculous at this point. For the last several weeks I've consistently been thinking about technology and how it's literally invaded the lives of everyone around me. I realized just how pervasive technology has been during … Continue reading Off my game and cranky

Unintended disconnect

I've been sick the last 6 days and finally starting to feel better. This was a hard one this time as I had seasonal allergies on top of the usual symptoms from a cold. The last thing I wanted to do was pick up a piece of technology let alone look at a screen, so … Continue reading Unintended disconnect

On a slow anger simmer

I had the last four days off and had hoped that Monday and Tuesday I would primarily be by myself. That didn't happen and I've been on a consistent angry simmer for the last 48+ hours. Nothing I've done, or attempted to do, has gone according to any semblance of a plan I had ridiculously … Continue reading On a slow anger simmer

This is your brain on stress

I need some downtime. For the last few weeks, I've had something to do pretty much every day from the time I've woken up to the time I've gone to sleep. It seems like months, but in reality it's only been maybe three weeks. The stress of going from one thing to the next has … Continue reading This is your brain on stress

Humans don't need to suffer like this

This is an opinion piece based on the article below. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/27/world/africa/famine-somalia-nigeria-south-sudan-yemen-water.html?partner=msft_msn&_r=0 How bad does the world have to get before we start to realize that it's not all clean tap water, endless food buffets and golden toilets that whisk our poop away? Real people, children, are suffering an agonizing slow death because of a comparatively … Continue reading Humans don't need to suffer like this

Monday randomness

It has been quite an interesting week or so, lots of things going on that will have an impact on my life over the next few weeks to few months. First thing's first though, my "cave" is now complete because I have now mounted that television that's been sitting on the floor for weeks. Here … Continue reading Monday randomness

Missed my Monday post (updated)

It was an interesting weekend that capped off with something really awesome.....I was picked up as a contributor to EatPrayVote. I'll soon be removing all anonymity from this blog, but won't be advertising my full name in too many places. It's related to the fact that I wanted to contribute under my real name rather … Continue reading Missed my Monday post (updated)
