• Beginning to live life…

  The year continues to fly by. It doesn’t seem possible that we are well into the first week of September already, yet here we are. I’m not going to lie, the past few months have flown by way too fast. I can’t believe that I have been staff at the paper for over ten months…

  I can’t believe it has been nearly a month since I’ve last wrote. Things have been … busy. Aside from a lull in the closing days of July and the first few days of August, work has been keeping me pretty steady. It seems like whenever I am have got things just about wrapped up…

• Time off…

  Well, I’ve been benched for a few days. My publisher is having me take a few days off to burn off some overtime I’ve accumulated. As frustrating as it is, as I have things to do, I definitely appreciate it. I don’t think I realized quite how fatigued I was. I’m off for three days…

  Slowly, but surely, my moods are starting normalize. Aside from having a hard time getting my butt out of bed this morning, today has been productive. I spent some time playing Sub Nautica, a really neat survival game that Sony has made free to play, and then this afternoon I succeeded in getting five articles…

  It feels good to be home. After two weeks away looking after Lynn’s mom post-surgery, I travelled home today. In total, the trip was just shy of eight hours, which makes for a long day. I’m a little annoyed at myself though. I thought I had packed everything up at the mother-in-law’s house, however, apparently…

  Thanks to a puggle who needed to go outside earlier than normal this morning, I was up earlier than my usual wakeup lately. I’m not even mad. I’ve been wanting to start getting up earlier again. Lately, I’ve just been so fatigued that I’ve been sleeping in later and later, which I’m honestly not liking.…

  After an intense three week push, it’s all over but the crying. I wrote the final exam for the first half of twentieth century history today. I say this after every exam, but I do not have a good feeling about this one. The exam was three long answer questions where you were expected to…

  Today marks a somber anniversary in our home. Two years ago we lost Lynn’s sister, who had a minor procedure done on her knee, then threw a blood clot and passed away a week later. The two years that have gone by since her passing have been both astonishingly fast and agonizingly slow at the…

  I was recently watching a motivational video on Youtube, and came across a concept that has kind of stuck with me. The short version is, when we die, as we all inevitably will, what is on our tombstone? Usually your date of birth, a dash, and your date of death. The beginning and the end…

  Today was a quieter day. I covered a breakfast with Santa event in Halkirk first thing, then met up for lunch with some of our church folks. After lunch I loaded up the two big dogs, Sirius and Roll, and headed out into the back country to take some photos. It was a relaxing afternoon,…
