Had a really awful day today, mostly because I did virtually nothing but play video games and cook. Finally, late, I started cleaning my bathroom. It’s gorgeous, too clean to use. Anyway, after 7:00, I decided to go to my writers’ meeting. I got there really late, but it was great. People were glad to […]

Mom Is Here
January 7th, 2002 @ 12:00 pm

It’s been a long time again. Mom is here. The money situation gets worse by the hour and neither job called today, and I saw nothing in the paper. Little success with ebay. Planning huge yard sale Saturday with Jen. Spurrier resigned Friday. I’m not sure why I wrote that just now. The kids were […]

“Look to this day, for yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision. But today – well lived – makes yesterday a dream of happiness and tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to today.” Heard it on a soap opera of all things. Sure makes a lot of sense. I […]

It seems like forever since I’ve written. Still no job, very little money, getting behind on bills. It’s pretty depressing because I was just at the point where my credit was getting restored. I’ve had some problems with my blood pressure. I’ve been walking 4 or 5 times a week with the silly pups. I […]

Dic and I are talking. We’ve been sharing some stuff from the past. Maybe it’s because it finally dawned on me that he grew up in the same environment I did, with his own set of Italian Catholic male issues, insecurities, and stresses in addition to our shared experience of feeling as if we were […]

Been a While
December 9th, 2001 @ 12:00 pm

It’s been a while since I wrote. I’ve been up and down a lot, working on a 3rd interview with digi-net (could be a good opportunity), went to see Susan in a funny play, had someone give me $24 because I’m out of work (great story!), not getting stuff done around the house, worrying about […]

It’s 11:40 PM. Jen left for Tampa about half an hour ago. She’s driving there and spending the night at the Carswell’s. They said she could leave her car there and take a taxi to the airport. She came over around 8 and we spent good time together. We laughed and talked and played Whomp […]

An Interview
November 26th, 2001 @ 12:00 pm

It seems like forever since I’ve written. I’m trying to keep a more positive attitude but, last night, I was feeling really weird, shake and queasy and as if my blood was racing. I called the doctor and he said it didn’t sound too serious, but to call dr. in am. I have an appointment […]

Self Motivation
November 16th, 2001 @ 12:00 pm

Saw Harry Potter with Jen today. They did a great job! Practically every scene was exactly as I had pictured it while reading. Nothing – nil – cold stop in the job search. Sent out one resume but really don’t anticipate any response. I’m feeling kind of desperate. I know I have to make some […]

And they laughed in all the right places.

Long day. Went to Barbara Peburn’s brother’s funeral with Jen. It was in Deltona. Barbara said I was a good friend for going all that way. Then she mentioned later that Jen and I were good friends. I think she doesn’t have a clue how much Jen and I would do for her. It’s funny, […]
