1/10/2022 – Monday…the countdown begins
Last week was such a blur at work that honestly I feel like today is the day the countdown begins for me to leaving this job for good. That makes me sad in some ways, as this was a soft, kind landing for me out of grad school and out of poverty back in 2013. But also...
1/8/2022 – Saturday! Back on schedule!
Things have been hectic since I formally submitted my resignation last week, but that's less a function of my doing so and more due to the fact that 1) it's the first week of classes which is always hectic and 2) we're getting ready for our new director to start on...
Today, January 4th, 2022, I turned in my resignation
Today, January 4th, 2022, I turned in my resignation at FSU. There is a long story behind this decision, possibly only interesting to myself. I’ll post that some other time, as documentation if nothing else. Right now, though, I want to mark this moment because it is...
1/2/2022 – Sunday, brand new day
I have been playing this on repeat for two days, at irregular times but often enough: https://youtu.be/REvemYdnzT0 It came out in 1999 when I was 30 years old. I desperately wanted a "brand new day" in the years that followed, while also hiding behind my fears and...
1/1/2022 – Saturday and NEW YEAR!
Last year (aka yesterday) I decided to Do It Different. And by "it" I mean New Year's Eve. For over a decade, at least, I've not done much on NYE other than go to bed early like any other day. I thought treating it like any other day might, somehow, protect me? From...
12/31/2021 – Friday, and Goodbye 2021!
So here we are, folks. We made it! I'm feeling a bit conflicted about the turn over of the new year. Resolutions or no? Optimism or pessimism? Hope or hopelessness? It's all about balance, ye olde yin and yang, but on the other hand the past few years (since the coup...
12/30/2021 – Thursday
The end of 2021 has crept up on me. Another year gone. Not wasted, but certainly not optimized either. There are both external and internal reasons for that, and as usual I'm left holding the ball and wondering what the rules of the game are. Such was my mood this...
12/29/2021 – Wednesday
Still no winter weather in sight, despite the atmosphere: That is, actually, a color photo! It was just that dreary and gray this morning (and yes, that bright little sliver to the upper right is the moon!). It was taken on the far side of Lake Ella, near the Viet Nam...
12/28/2021 – Tuesday
It's Tuesday and I have therapy later today, which will be fine, it will be great, it will FINE OKAY!?!?!?!? Hmmm, maybe my need for a therapy session is, perhaps, more obvious than I thought? Heh. *grimaces* In the meantime I have a Spotify playlist going that's...
12/27/2021 – Monday, I guess
It's Monday, although it doesn't feel that way after all these days off from the day!job...it's just another day. Which, I think, I like better. I've always thought the "living for the weekend" lifestyle to be abnormal and stifling. But as it is Monday After the...
12/26/2021 – Sunday but make it trashday
Today's photo is ugly. If you follow me on my main twitter, you've already seen it, but I'm just so incensed about it that I have to rant for a bit. I want to make clear I'm not mad at the park goers who put the trash here. In fact I appreciate that they at least...
12/25/2021 – Merry Christmas!
I am not a Christian but I do appreciate the aspects of this holiday that focus on love and family (of origin or found!) and peace-on-earth. Aspirations humanity keeps falling short on but still worthy of pursuit! This morning's walk was super long, a choice I made...
