A Great Day with My Little Man

Spent a great Sunday with my little guy today.  It seems to have made up for a lot of the bad feelings I’ve been having toward his mother. We spent most of the day at a bookstore, reading him all of the new Halloween offerings.  He loves to be read to. I think we [...]

I Feel Like Having a Drink

I can’t though.  Sadly, drinking, with the meds I’m on, is now a part of my past.  I do occasionally see some loner like myself walking home after closing time if I’m up and wandering around the great metropolis of Frederick in the wee hours. (Hell, I’m crazy-who would mug me?)  Yeah, Klonopin and Geodon [...]

I saw this fellow walking the other evening with two bags of groceries (he tastefully chose paper) tucked firmly under each arm, just walking, unheeding of the rain or the traffic or of me or any other pedestrian. Eyes just fixed on nothing, in a vacant stare that seemed to be the embodiment of near-total aloofness, face emotionless. [...]

Happy New Year’s !!

 Happy New Year’s ! It truly has been great so far- I’ve spent half the day with my five year old son watching the Tournament of Roses Parade and playing with Playmobil Roman armies. So far I can only feel warmth in this new calendar- a nice day without anything to give the outward impression [...]

Today I spent the entire day with my mom and my uncle and aunt in Baltimore. We spent a great afternoon and evening shopping and sightseeing and had a very nice dinner at an exceptionally good restaurant (I had the scallops in a sun dried tomato pesto -a marked change from my usual, austere rations.)

A Wonderful Christmas Day

I had a lovely Christmas day with my mother and her partner and my daughter. When it came time to visit my son and step children at my former home to open packages, I was made to feel very much at home. I even had the good fortune to get an invitation (which I regretfully declined) [...]

Summertime- (Hey-Isn’t the livin’ supposed to be “easy”? )

 For me it’s not just now. I did however, have a lovely dinner with my uncle and aunt during my mother’s stay. I hadn’t seen them since my wedding five years ago and Mary Lou (auntie) was looking well after her surgeries.  Said she was planning another trip to the Czech Republic in the spring. The restaurant was the 1844 [...]
