Most of the things on my plate are voluntary. The not optional, heavy hitters still suck away a lot of emotional labor. I am looking for a little breaking point. Soon. Soon enough I’ll have one huge weight off my shoulder. I’ve seen it. I’ve dreamed about it two nights in a row.

Last night, I dreamed that my kids’ mom and I were getting along. I’m going to call it foreshadowing. We can’t possibly be enemies forever. I was in some kind of school setting, and there were some field exercises. I was able to fly, but I didn’t because I didn’t leave. I didn’t want to…

I made a couple of crucial mistakes in not hiring an attorney soon enough and rushing to hire a piece-of-sh*t attorney. Now, unfortunately, a good attorney is forced to clean up the mess.

I don’t remember what I dreamt last night, but I woke up with a kind of dark thought. Dark but somewhat satisfying. Part of me wants to be Mr Global Warning Awareness. But the darker part of me – no pun intended – thinks “Keep f**king up the ozone. Guess which race of people can…

Granpa is so weak now. His voice hasn’t lost any of its volume nor his conversational responses their curtness. His body is letting him down. I’m sure it’s difficult for anyone to watch their body fail. I imagine it’s especially tough for a man. Us men – who are hardwired for protecting, providing, and wearing…

I’m beyond blessed to be an intersection of two large families that care about the members on a level that can’t be articulated.

It’s surreal seeing my cousins older and with grown up children. This trip to Hartford has been an awesome time warp. It’s been a fun ride. I don’t know if I’ll see my mother on this trip. I’d like to. I’d like to know she’s ok.

It’s so surreal seeing and hearing everyone again. It’s refreshing. I don’t feel like writing today. I just want to be here. In the moment. Soaking it in.Today was my Uncle’s funeral. There was a lot of people there to show love. I got to meet his 3 sons. I want to take a few…

I missed wearing nice clothes. I’m sure my weight has been a factor. I’m not crazy about buying new clothes to fit a frame that won’t be around much longer. That’s not denial talking. I’ve have enough of the excess, so I’m making it go away. But yeah nice clothes feel good every now and…

It’s good to see family again. Hearing their voices sound so familiar. Being in the houses again. My cousins have kids that look like them now. It’s crazy. I’ve got first cousins that I hadn’t met who have kids too. I do wish our reunion was under better circumstances. I think it will be really…

Surreal It’s crazy seeing family again after so long. It’s nuts seeing these streets again. I’m full. I want to see everyone, but I also want to see the old places. I made a mental list: SANDS Everywhere Elementary School Main St Garden St Hopewell Baptist Church Keney Park
