Flip Your Script

(C) 2019, JJ Shaun With May being Mental Health Awareness Month, I thought I would devote another week to the issue. The world has a lot going on right now. Much of it feels like the proverbial train wreck. Price goug … I mean inflation is putting the economy at risk. The stock market is … Continue reading Flip Your Script

Watch Your Diet

(C) 2022, JJ Shaun I am a product of my diet. And I don’t mean just the nourishment I consume. I am a product of every book, board game, video game, news story, magazine article, and television show I have devoured. I am a product of the people I spend time with and the experiences … Continue reading Watch Your Diet

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 54

I feel like a broken record. Again, a week of phone calls with no resolutions. We have contacted our contractor, our loan provider, our home sales rep, and our financial adviser. We’ve signed the purchase order and have enough money in my retirement fund to give me a bit of a raise. On the upside, … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 54

Random Quote for March 20, 2021

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 12

This was another week we didn’t make it up the mountain. I can blame it on the holidays, but I’m not sure that’s entirely true. The short week, and the latest covid surge, meant many places were still encouraging online business, so I took advantage of it. When I worked in corporate America, I used … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 12

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 9

My days have gotten busy since I’ve “recovered” from covid. First Reader and I divide our time bouncing between digging through the remains of our home, cleaning out my mother’s storage unit (while deciding what to keep and what to donate), spending time with our dogs who are with our dog sitter, and helping take … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 9

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 8

We began tackling the cleanup on our property this week. A friend came up with us and brought a couple of shovels and rakes to help us start the process. We decided to begin with an old Jayco travel trailer that we used mainly for storage. (C) 2020, JJ Shaun It held the holiday decorations … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 8

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 5

This has been a very long week — of doing not much of anything. I am down with a positive covid diagnosis, so I’ve been stuck in this same damned room for the last week. To say I’m bored out of my gourd is an understatement. And until I’m covid-free, I’m stuck in neutral. My … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 5

Rebuilding the Dream

Two weeks ago, I dreamed that our house burned to the ground. First Reader and I were evacuated the Wednesday morning before this dream invaded my sleep. Best Riding Friend offered an invitation to camp at her place for as long as our evacuation lasted. Our two oldest fur-babies went to their usual sitter while … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream
