Shake, Shake, Shake, Señora
So, you may have noticed a change in my site theme. Really, it’s just the latest shakeup in the last couple of months of shakeups. Last year wasn’t a very active year for this blog. No, I haven’t given up on blogging, it was just more or less a lack of motivation to pick up…

Murphy’s Law, or: Good Freakin’ Grief, Why Isn’t Anything Working?
Before I get into my Hurricane Ian story, I’d like to go ahead and say this right off the bat: I’m okay and my family and I are all in one piece. This delay in posting has been more due to just wanting a few days to decompress from my experiences of the last week…

Here I Go Again.
As much as I’d like that to be about the Whitesnake song or Strong Bad cartwheeling a mile in one of The Cheat’s animations, this is not about either of those. Nope. If you haven’t already heard, Florida has another hurricane heading its way in a few days: Hurricane Ian. It developed about a week…

This Is 35, or: Am I Having an Existential Crisis?
As you may have noticed, 2022 has been quite light on the blogging this year. Not because I’ve fallen out of love with blogging or writing in general, but because the desire to blog just hasn’t hit me much this year for various reasons. And one of the consequences of that is that I didn’t…

A Brief Post-COVID Update
It’s been two weeks since I posted about my positive COVID test, so I figured I’d do a brief check-in and let you know how I’m doing. When I last wrote, I was going through pretty active symptoms. Luckily, I didn’t need to go to the hospital or anything, but it still felt like one…

It Finally Got Me.
So, as I’m sitting here writing this, I’m about 6 hours removed from a positive COVID test. I asked my dad to get me one on the way home from work this morning because for the last few days I’d been feeling quite sick, and from something I’d caught from him. Now, it’s not uncommon…

It’s Been Awhile…
(Cue some dudebro humming sounding vaguely like Staind.) It wasn’t my intention to go on an extended hiatus when I last posted, but…life happens. I don’t really have a ton going on in my personal life right now that warrants updating, but I assure you I’ve been doing quite fine since my last post! I’ve…

Hello, 2022, or: A Sign of Life and It’s Cold AF
I didn’t expect to go almost 2 months without a post! I tried opening up my WordPress app a few times in that span, but for some reason, the words just weren’t coming. Anyways, it’s the day before my best friend, The Lady Bryan’s, birthday and right now it is what we would call in…

Thanksgiving 2021: The Blog Post.
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted, not for lack of trying. Life’s been going on and it’s been much of the usual. But we did get to go to a little Thanksgiving gathering last week. Even when my mom was in the later stages of her illness, we didn’t really do much for…

Better Later Than Never
I know I’ve been putting off getting my COVID vaccination for a while, but I’m finally getting my first dose. And so will my dad. Yes, he’s in the demographic that would be vaccine hesitant (older, white, politically conservative)…but he’s also employed at a job that pays him well for what he does and it’s…
