But first an ad. I wrote the below on Medium yesterday. I’m trying to do less importing from here and more writing specifically to Medium(though I might cheat one more time today and import over a post from a year ago that popped up in my memories) Click! Read! I decided to use yesterday as … More Overwhelmed For No Reason
When I was a student at the University of Kentucky I worked at the library. One semester, I was one of the first to arrive and I would enter the library before it opened. There were always grad students there waiting to get in as soon as we opened and they would sometimes try to … More Bloganuary 24: Write About a Dream You Remember
Most nights I don’t remember my dreams. Sometimes I wake up feeling unsettled and I assume it was from a dream but I have no recall of the dream itself. Some mornings I wak up with the dream clearly in my head. Today is one of those days and it is lingering. In the dream, … More More Fun With Dreams

We are leaving to visit family Thursday. I always have a little stress when we travel even if it just a drive like this time. Here are things that have added to this stress to make it almost unbearable. Typing this real quick on my iPad. I guarantee there will be multiple mistakes. I don’t … More Stress On Top of Stress

I set my yearly reading goal at 100 books every year. Most years I make it. Last year, I … More The Down Side of Goals
