Bone weary

Libby the Wonder Poodle was up again in the middle of the night.
This evening she had a couple of accidents.
I’ve decided to work from home tomorrow so I can take her to the vet, since the only time she does this is when she has a bladder/kidney infection.
I love her, but this dog is not [...]

Music Monday – “Let the Mystery Be” for Abbagirl74

One of my blogging buddies had an interesting post the other day talking about how she used to have high anxiety over what happens after this life is over.
Her musings reminded me of this song. I don’t know that it’s an answer per se, but it’s not bad if you can’t take a faith tradition’s [...]

Grateful – Blue Note Edition

Some of the things for which I’m grateful this week.

Going to see The Blue Note 7 this afternoon at orchestra hall with G.
A great night at The Glock last night, $30 in tips and even though I was really tired and though I played “meh,” more people said thank you or commented on how much [...]

Workin’ for the weekend

Or is that Workin ON the weekend?
Whichever.
My awesome team at Evil Corporate Job made the outlandish deadlines set by Crazy Impractical Corporate Executives for today’s launches. Only one of the curricula actually launched though because other departments didn’t get their parts done. You can believe that I have documentation to that effect.
I had performance evaulation [...]

No, seriously. I need a break.

I’m a fast thinker, but I need some time for reflection.
I’m a hard worker, but I need some time for rest.
I’m a good cook, but I need time to plan and shop and prepare.
I’m a influential person, but I can’t influence everything because I can’t be everywhere and talk to everyone.
I’m an active person, but [...]

Tuesday — so far

First, let me just say that we got a lot of stuff done yesterday at Evil Corporate Job. Almost enough to make it kind of fun.
Today, I was scheduled to work from home and was looking forward to another productive day. I guess you don’t get two of those in a row anymore. So since [...]

When is it too good to be true?

And when should you just relax and enjoy it?
G is hitting all the right notes. He brings me small gifts. Cards. Bought me flowers. Wants me to meet his children, his friends, his family. Asks about my day. Calls me regularly and when he says he will. Wants to meet my friends, family, children. Tells [...]

Grateful – Spring Equinox Edition

It has been another amazing week at Chez Journey. Here are a few things for which I’m grateful — not a complete list for several reasons, not the least of which is the limit of human memory and language.

It was payday on Friday.
My neighbor who knows several tradesmen, not the least of which is a [...]

La dolce vita

Last night, on a Friday after 10 weeks of grueling schedule of working everyday, I played at the Glockenspiel restuarant agian.
Around fifteen of my friends from church filled three tables in the bar. A group from Evil Corporate Job got a reservation for dinner. A table of 8 included a seminary professor (one of the [...]

celibacy

What is Celibacy?
Celibacy can be a choice in life or a condition imposed by circumstances.
While attending a Marriage Weekend, Walter and his wife, Ann, listened to
the instructor declare, ‘It is essential that husbands and wives know the
things that are important to each other.’
He then addressed the men, ‘For instance, can [...]
