There’s absolutely no excuse as to why I haven’t posted, none whatsoever. So as I recommit to my writing in an overall sense, I must also recommit to this blog. I’m contemplating a Video blog as my current state of insomnia awakens me anytime between 1 and 5 o’clock in the morning, going LIVE, bed […]
Read more "Short and Sweet"It’s been difficult for me to accept what I’ve got to say and, what I’ve got to say is, “I’ve been collecting unemployment for almost six months.” There, I said it and, it doesn’t necessarily feel like a burden has been lifted from me.

My search for a new job is creating feelings of angst and anxiety. I know that everything will work out and everything will be okay, it’s still just that. I’m writing this today and posting it to […]
Read more "Just Write"Chicago is known as the second city, but for the next 48 hours it will also be known as the ninth circle.

Read more "Windchill makes Chicago the Ninth Circle"Horrible weather has befallen upon my city, and it’s a good thing. Record setting low temperatures, windchills of astronomical proportions and 500 shades of gray. The snow has fallen all night atop the previous snow and it’s over one foot deep. I prepared for the first snow by filling my red plastic 5 gallon gasoline […]
Read more "Snowday, Winter Weather Advisory"We are at the Doctors Office this morning and I’m waiting. We’ve checked in with the receptionist and were told to sit and someone will be right with me.
