It’s 11:11

I did quite well during the day today until around 2 p.m. I was creating a special project Powerpoint presentation with my coworker who was telling me what to type up. At some point he’d think about it or word the sentence out loud. I started to nod off, unconsciously. I was staring at the monitor one second and startling myself awake the next. “I’m sorry, Coworker. I fell asleep and missed what you just said. Can you please repeat that? Actually, wait. Hold that thought.” I got up and jumped around in my cubicle as if I was in...

After School and Special Bowl

Obviously, I’m trying to beat jetlag by making myself as tired as possible. Then again, I have a lot I wanted to do on the computer tonight. So, that’s good for me. Bad for the lonely boy in my bed. Hehe. A few more blog of notes I’m rolling. First, my dear friend Olaina at Olaina After School. I got her blogging a few weekends ago. And here she is! Olaina has been going through a lot lately, and I am glad to get her online to share her thoughts and experiences. Yet, another place for people to come by...

Thwack that tennis ball. Thwack him in the head. Give it a few thwacks. That sort of thing. And, I won a free lunch from Marcello’s today. Yey, me!...

Confessions

Because I have nothing going in life but working, prepping for the trip, thinking about mom, being pissed at my jackass brother. Brandon is my rock right now. In his own way, he’s keeping me sane. We’ve gone out and done things outside the house all weekend. Partly because the apartment was so damn hot, but I know also that he wanted to make me feel better. The truth is, I’m scared. When I went home last time to see mom, I sort of expected to see her in worse shape. You know, sunken cheeks and bald head. I had...
